For learners, feedback can be both, a strong motivator but in case it fails its purpose, it can be a strong reason for frustration and dropouts as well. Do we have to change our locally implemented feedback strategies when adapting learning contents from national to international settings? In our study, we the investigated learners’ understanding and preferences regarding feedback in scenarios of higher education across the five different national contexts, Bulgaria, Germany, South Korea, Turkey, and Ukraine.
This presentation shows that students in different cultural contexts have different perceptions of time management and work organization. Particularly in group work scenarios, such differences can have a frustrating impact on students from other cultural contexts because e.g., expectations are not met. Being aware of such differences between the learners in a culturally heterogeneous educational scenario, educators can prevent frustration by introducing their students and providing more specific instructions.
This paper addresses special skills, learners in Internet-based learning scenarios need. In self-directed learning scenarios, as most Internet-based learning scenarios are designed, learners bear the responsibility for their learning progress. To ease this task, institutions could prime the learners for the situation which may be quite different to their previous learning experiences. Basing on a Delphi-study, conducted with experts from the e-Learning sector in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the basic requirements have been determined.
In an explorative study, we investigated on German schoolteachers how they use, reuse, produce and manage Open Educational Resources. The main questions in this research have been, what their motivators and barriers are in their use of Open Educational Resources, what others can learn from their Open Educational Practices, and what we can do to raise the dissemination level of OER in schools.
This paper addresses the problem of adaptation of E-Learning to a given or proposed context. Current learning technology standards are available for various purposes, such as contents, learner profiles or learning activities, but there are no specifications to describe the context of learning scenarios. Such a description is crucial to identify change-requirements or to compare situations when learning scenarios are re-used. In this paper, we define a specification of context metadata. We show how they can be used to adapt learning scenarios from a given to a new context, in particular to identify change requirements for the internationalization of learning scenarios.
