In this paper, we explore the design of a student-facing dashboard for online and distance learning with a focus on capturing and addressing specific learning needs. A participatory process involving 20 students was employed, which included a screening questionnaire and focus group discussions. The selection of data points to be displayed on the dashboard was mainly determined by student responses regarding the usefulness of a feature, and a high frequency of their agreement. The data analysis revealed that the learning needs of online students relate to course support and communication (with tutors and other students). In response to this, students expressed a desire for accessing information related to their assignments, study time, and tutorials. The data points endorsed by students related to descriptive (assignment scores, engagement with the virtual learning environment, material accessed), predictive (score prediction), and prescriptive data (material recommendations and contact information). Student choices of data points were driven by a desire to better understand their study progress and take appropriate action. These insights emphasize the need for designing dashboards that not only describe performance but foremost “prescribe” to students potential solutions to overcome performance challenges.Schließen

Research funding is a key determinant of scientific progress. However, current allocation procedures for third-party funding are criticized due to high costs and biases in the selection. Here, we present data from a large German funding organization on an implementation of a lottery-first approach followed by peer review to allocate funding. We examine the changes in submissions and funded projects of female applicants after implementation, estimate the costs of the overall allocation process, and report on the attitudes and satisfaction of researchers and reviewers. The data show an increase of 10% in submissions and a 23% increase in funded projects from female applicants with the lottery-first approach compared to a previously used procedure. Additionally, the lottery-first approach was estimated to have 68% lower economic costs compared to a conventional single-stage peer review approach. Satisfaction with this funding approach was high and around half of applicants preferred an initial lottery followed by peer review over a conventional approach. Thus, the lottery-first approach is a promising addition to allocation procedures.Schließen

Klingt komisch und ungerecht, aber es kostet sehr viel weniger und fördert mehr Frauen, wenn man die Projektanträge auslost, die man in voller Länge begutachten möchte.
Projekte, Tools, Apps… das sind doch bürgerliche Kategorien. Wir packen einfach alles in die Fundgrube:
Tablet-Klassen scheinen ein Comeback zu feiern. Bayern und Niedersachsen setzen das aktuell wieder um, aber nicht ohne vorher Lesen, Rechnen und Handschrift zu lernen, so Söder.
Dazu passt auch die Folge „Achwas“ zum Smartphone-Verbot.
Es wird kalt im Winter und die Zahl der Wohnungslosen in Deutschland ist auf über 1.000.000 Menschen gestiegen. Ihr findet sicher eine Organisation bei Euch vor Ort, die Ihr unterstützen könnt. Sonst helft gern hier
Diese und andere Weltverbesserungsideen findet man auch gesammelt hier. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
