In the project EILD.nrw, Open Educational Resources (OER) have been developed for teaching databases. Lecturers can use the tools and courses in a variety of learning scenarios. Students of computer science and application subjects can learn the complete life cycle of databases. For this purpose, quizzes, interactive tools, instructional videos, and courses for learning management systems are developed and published under a Creative Commons license. We give an overview of the developed OERs according to subject, description, teaching form, and format. Following, we describe how licencing, sustainability, accessibility, contextualization, content description, and technical adaptability are implemented. The feedback of students in ongoing classes are evaluated.

Technical aspects are brought into focus thinking of inclusion opportunities and exclusion risks in digital learning scenarios. However, focussing on technical limitations is not sufficient. This contribution describes another important field of inclusion, namely psychological personality traits. In a longitudinal study at the Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg (H-BRS), University of Applied Sciences, we accompanied a civil law lecture of a bachelor's degree programme, which had been digitalized because of COVID-19, with empirical Scholarship of Teaching and Learning methods for two semesters. N=55 students from the first measured semester and N=35 from the second one rated different digital teaching methods used in the developed digital learning scenario. Their personality traits according to the five-factor model were measured by using a validated psychometric short-scale (BFI-10). Moderate to large empirical effects of the students' personality traits on the assessments of different digital teaching methods, used in the digital learning scenario, could be observed. Neuroticism values influences the perceptions of the course difficulty and the preference for using an instant messenger as a central communication platform, where students can interact with fellows and lecturers in a way the students are used to in their daily life. High conscientiousness predicts a more regular execution of the weekly tasks given throughout the semester, while higher values in extraversion are associated with a preference for synchronous video conference sessions and active webcams. Higher agreeableness is associated with rating the learning atmosphere as more constructive while low values are associated with perceiving more negative consequences due to the reduced contact to fellows based on COVID-19 restrictions. Correlations between the dimension openness and any ratings of digital teaching methods could not be observed. With this insight into our students' personality traits, we were able to match the digital teaching methods used in our digital learning scenario to the psychological needs of our students, which resulted in a higher inclusion level and a reduction of exclusion risks.
Die digitale Transformation verändert die internationale Kooperation der Hochschulen massiv. Über die Möglichkeiten der virtuellen Mobilität hinaus entstehen neue Themenfelder, die internationale Lern- und Lehrerlebnisse mit digitaler Unterstützung verändern, ergänzen oder neu ermöglichen. Dazu sind im Bereich der Förderung der Internationalisierung (DAAD, Erasmus+, BMBF u.a.) Projekte und Förderformate entstanden, die Digitalisierung und Internationalisierung kombinieren und die neuen Themenstellungen adressieren, z.B. didaktische Formate, administrative Prozesse (auch im Kontext OZG und DSGVO), virtuelle und hybride Mobilität, internationale Projekt- und Teamformate sowie schlussendlich auch Inhalte, die internationale, interkulturelle und interdisziplinäre Kompetenzen mit digitalen Kompetenzen verbinden. Der vorgeschlagene Workshop soll entsprechende Projekte zusammenbringen und die Themen strukturieren, um einen Überblick der Entwicklungen zu schaffen und somit einen Beitrag zur Definition des Themenfelds „Digitalisierung & Internationalisierung“ zu leisten.
New communication technologies are changing the way we work and communicate with people around the world. Given this reality, students in Higher Education (HE) worldwide need to develop knowledge in their area of study as well as attitudes and values that will enable them to be responsible and ethical global citizens in the workforce they will soon enter, regardless of the degree. Different institutional and country-specific requirements are important factors when developing an international Virtual Exchange (VE) program. Digital learning environments such as ProGlobe – Promoting the Global Exchange of Ideas on Sustainable Goals, Practices, and Cultural Diversity – offer a platform for collaborating with diverse students around the world to share and reflect on ideas on sustainable practices. Students work together virtually on a joint interdisciplinary project that aims to create knowledge and foster cultural diversity. This project was successfully integrated into each country’s course syllabus through a common global theme; sustainability. The focus of this paper is to present multi-disciplinary perspectives on the opportunities and challenges in implementing a VE project in HE. Furthermore, it will present the challenges that country coordinators dealt with when planning and implementing their project. Given the disparity found in each course syllabus, project coordinators uniquely handled the project goal, approach, and assessment for their specific course and program. Not only did the students and faculty gain valuable insight into different aspects of collaboration when working in interdisciplinary HE projects, they also reflected on their own impact on the environment and learned to listen to how people in different countries deal with environmental issues. This approach provided students with meaningful intercultural experiences that helped them link ideas and concepts about a global issue through the lens of their own discipline as well as other disciplines worldwide.
An der H-BRS, einer Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften mit ca. 9.000 Studierenden, wurde die OER-Kultur bewusst als Teil der Strategie zur Digitalisierung der Lehre in drei Schritten etabliert: (1) Gemeinsame Strategiebildung als Teil eines partizipativ erarbeiteten Hochschulentwicklungsplans: Verankerung von OER in der Digitalisierungsstrategie. (2) Basierend auf der Vernetzung der Expertinnen und Experten erfolgreiche Einwerbung von OER-Projekten, die exemplarisch vorgestellt werden. (3) Dauerhafte strategische Verankerung, basierend auf kontinuierlicher interner und externer Netzwerkarbeit, Etablierung von digitalen Austauschplattformen für die Lehrenden, Transfer des OER-Gedankens (Kooperation, Austausch, Mehrfachnutzen) auf die Hochschuldidaktik sowie regelmäßige Ausschreibungen von Fördermaßnahmen.
The Learning Culture Survey (LCS) is a questionnaire-based research, investigating students’ perceptions of and expectations towards Higher Education (HE). The aim of this survey is to improve our understanding about the sources of cultural conflicts in educational scenarios. This understanding, shell help us to predict potential conflict situations and develop supportive measures.
After three years of development, the LCS was initialized in 2010 in South Korea and Germany. During the following years, the investigations were extended to further countries. The results, on the one hand, provided insights about the cultural context of HE in general and on the other hand, about specific (national / regional) characteristics of learners in HE. Most issues targeted with the questionnaire were directly linked to value systems. Thus, we expected from the beginning that the collected data would keep valid over longer periods of time. However, we had no evidence regarding the actual persistence of learning culture. For a study, designed to being implemented on a global scope and providing input for further applications, persistence is a basic condition to justify related investigations.
To answer the question on persistence, we repeated the LCS in our university every four years, between 2010 to 2018/19. Besides a small number of slight changes, explainable out of their situational context, the overall results kept consistent over the investigated years. In this paper, after an introduction of the LCS’ concept, setting and its general results from the past years, we present the insights from our most recently finalized longitudinal study on learning culture.
Digital transformation in Higher Education and Science is a mission-critical demand to prepare educational institutions for their future competition on the international market. In many cases, the digitization goes along with the search for and acquisition of new software. For easily exchangeable software, wrong product decisions, in the worst case, lead to calculable financial losses. However, if a planned software requires a lot of technological adjustments and is to be applied as central component of a business- and/or security-critical environment, wrong decisions during the software acquisition process might lead to hardly calculable damage. Questions arising are how to decide for a product and how many resources should be invested for the acquisition process.
We planned to apply a commercial Business Support System, which should replace the currently used in-house developed software. Our goals were the increase of our university’s level of data security, to ease the interaction between stakeholders, to eliminate media discontinuities, to improve the process management and transparency, and to reduce the execution time of automated processes. Alongside with the introduction of the electronic case file, our agenda stipulates the digitization (and automation) of administrative university processes, especially, but not limited to, the student self-service and the administrative student life cycle. Usual tools and practices, commonly applied to (simple) software acquisition, failed in our scenario.
With the case study introduced in this paper, we address all persons, involved within software acquisition processes: From our experiences, we strongly recommend to place greater value on an exhaustively completed acquisition process, than on short-termed economic advantages.
