In doing that, they made use of a dedicated inventor toolkit, which facilitated students' creative solutions to problems that can appear in the context of a smart city. From a pedagogical point of view, the workshop format is in line with the experiential learning approach. The paper presents a holistic student assessment methodology for this nice domain. In particular, to analyse the impact of the workshop for the students we used four different approaches: artefacts analysis of students' design solutions, classroom observations, a post-test and a survey. The results indicate that the intervention has promoted an effective teaching methodology for the basic conceptual and design aspects of the IoT for these lower secondary school students, but it hasn't addressed equally effectively the attitude-related aspects. Nonetheless, the participant students perceived the intervention as very satisfactory in terms of the IoT concept knowledge, smart cities learning, and problem-solving skills acquired, as well as in terms of enjoyment. The paper concludes on the learning gains of the intervention and discusses the motivation aspect for the teacher as well as for the students in this highly innovative learning experience.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"144 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124894663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, about a billion of people visits YouTube every month and about a billion of hours is spent daily to watch videos there. In principle this enthusiasm for videos offers the opportunity to use them as a didactical tool. But even though the medium is available since decades, the usage of videos in didactics is still an expandable field and scientific publications are drawing a very complex scheme on this topic. Quantitative findings of the effect in teaching are very rare. Therefore, a team at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences carried out a project to analyze the situation and define strategies for the own needs focusing on the engineering subject of study \"manufacturing technology\". Based on literature and own considerations, a questionnaire was designed asking for preferences in learning media comparing chalkboard, power point and video based lectures. In parallel around 900 written examinations were analyzed over a period of 7 years. The analysis compared examination results on topics taught by video clips to results on topics taught in power point and chalkboard lectures. The concrete results did not show a significant advantage by video teaching, but gave interesting hints for follow-up projects. Regarding the different didactic tools, a clear preference could be found for video based lectures. Notable was that female students tended slightly to the chalkboard lectures.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"229 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123256755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper we report a case study on methodology, which interlinks various subjects creating and engaging learning process by combining Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and Design. In line with this, an Experimental Interaction Design summer course was designed and implemented based on a multi-cultural, defiant and creative environment in order to provide an effective learning on solving the real-world challenges. Twelve students were involved in this initiative, which resulted in the development of several projects such as a pets' tracking and behavior analysis, a smart home for elderlies, and a medication reminder device, in which design, prototyping, usability evaluation and programming concepts were combined. In this report, we focus on the study design with the aim to provide scaffolding for multidisciplinary teams of students in design-based projects that require STEM competences.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125283453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Little is known about how students in different academic levels perceive the effectiveness of PBL approach. This study aims to compare and analyze students' perceptions of the use of PBL in different undergraduate- and graduate-level civil engineering courses. Students' perceptions of the effectiveness of the partial use of PBL in civil engineering courses to improve their understanding of course topics and develop their life skills were collected through a questionnaire distributed at the end of the semester. Data was collected from 104 students enrolled in five different undergraduate and graduate civil engineering courses. Results showed that students of the junior-level course held more positive attitude towards collaboration and teamwork rather than students of senior-level or graduate-level courses. The mean scores of the survey questions related to teamwork, collaboration, and communication skills tended to decrease with an increase in the course level. Junior-level students exhibited the highest degree of satisfaction in response to the survey question related to the degree of enjoyment when working in groups. Due to the difficulty in scheduling meetings, ineffective communications were noted by graduate students. They recorded the lowest mean scores for the survey questions related to teamwork/collaboration skills and degree of enjoyment when working in groups. Survey results indicated, however, that PBL was more effective in improving understanding of course topics, self-regulation and self-learning skills of the graduate students rather than undergraduate students.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126765125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the low completion rates in MOOCs suggest that student engagement and progression in the courses are problematic. Following the increasing adoption of gamification in education, it is possible that gamification can also be effectively adopted in MOOCs to enhance students' motivation and increase completion rates. Yet at present, the extent to which gamification has been examined in MOOCs is not known. Considering the myriad gamification elements that can be adopted in MOOCs (e.g., leaderboards and digital badges), this theoretical research study reviews scholarly publications examining gamification of MOOCs. The main purpose is to provide an overview of studies on gamification in MOOCs, types of research studies, theories applied, gamification elements implemented, methods of implementation, the overall impact of gamification in MOOCs, and the challenges faced by researchers and practitioners when implementing gamification in MOOCs. The results of the literature study indicate that research on gamification in MOOCs is in its early stages. While there are only a handful of empirical research studies, results of the experiments generally showed a positive relation between gamification and student motivation and engagement. It is concluded that there is a need for further studies using educational theories to account for the effects of employing gamification in MOOCs.","PeriodicalId":102826,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122923729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
