    Learning Analytics in Academic Writing Instruction – Opportunities Provided by Thesis Writer (TW)
    (Bildungsräume 2017, 2017) Rapp, Christian; Ott, Jakob
    No thesis - no graduation. Academic writing poses manifold challenges to students, instructors and institutions. Consequently, the question arose to what extent academic writing instruction can be supported electronically. With Thesis Writer (TW), a domain-specific, technology-supported learning environment for scaffolding academic writing, combined with an online editor optimised for producing academic text was implemented. Recently, a tracking function was also implemented that allows for fine-grained studying of user interaction with the system, and therefore also their writing and learning processes. In the demonstration, the researchers will present the data types collected, the tracking technology, and the learning analytics opportunities that TW provides.

    Seamless Learning in Lake Constance Region
    (Bildungsräume 2017, 2017) Rapp, Christian; Dilger, Bernadette; Schimkat, Ralf; Mueller, Rainer
    As part of large-scale project in the Lake Constance region that borders Germany, Austria and Switzerland, seamless learning prototypes are designed, implemented, and evaluated. A design-based research (DBR) approach is used for the development, implementation and evaluation. The project consists of one base project that brings together instructional design and instructional technology specialists as well as (educational) software architects, supporting seven subprojects in developing seamless-learning lighthouse implementations mostly within higher and further education. Industrial partners are involved in all subprojects. The authors are unaware of similar seamless learning projects using a DBR approach that include evaluation and redesign and allow for comparison of experiences by applying DBR across subprojects. The project aims to generate novel seamless learning implementations, respective novel research and novel software supporting different aspects of seamless learning. The poster will present the project design, delineate areas of research and development, and include initial empirical results.
