Transparenz, Selbststeuerung und digitale Unterstützung sind zentrale Faktoren für Studierbarkeit im digitalen Zeitalter. In diesem Beitrag zeigen wir, wie an der TU Graz gemeinsam mit Studierenden ein datenbasiertes Studienfortschritts-Dashboard entwickelt wird, das Orientierung schafft, Planung erleichtert und neue Impulse für ein nachhaltiges Di...
Generative AI is transforming educational content. In this poster, we present aicast.fyi, an open-source platform for producing personalized educational podcasts that combine AI-generated and instructor-defined content. Each track contains dynamic and fixed segments. Instructors define guiding questions during track design, ensuring alignment with...
How can educators unleash the power of AI without losing control over core educational strategies? In this workshop, we introduced aicast, an open-source platform for educational podcasts that combines the best of both worlds: AI-generated elements for personalization and flexibility, and fixed elements, with instructor-defined content to ensure pe...
This workshop provides an engaging and interactive exploration of Large Language Models (LLMs), with a focus on how they operate at a foundational level. Using CollectiveGPT, an educational chatbot developed by the Ed-Tech Research Community Graz, participants gained firsthand experience understanding the principles behind generative AI (genAI) sys...
This paper presents the (preliminary) findings from three pilot activities conducted at TU Graz over the past 18 months, exploring the use of AI in generating (open) educational resources. The first pilot involved developing a MOOC titled “Societech: Society in the Context of Information Technologies”, which utilized various AI tools to create vide...
Graz University of Technology originally launched a study progress dashboard in 2020 to help students monitor their academic progress and better understand their degree structures. In response to systematic changes in the university's academic data modeling and the phasing out of legacy curricula between 2022 and 2024, the dashboard underwent a com...
This study presents the Rapid Multilingual Video Production (RMVPro) framework, an optimized process for creating high-quality multilingual educational videos using artificial intelligence (AI). The framework involves three stages: planning, translation, and production, with each stage involving iterative feedback loops with experts and native spea...
Videos can be used in a variety of ways in learning environments today. With advances in generative AI technologies, tools such as HeyGen and ElevenLabs make it easy to create synthetic teachers, promising efficiency and accessibility. This study investigates the impact of AI-generated teaching video avatars on learners' emotional responses. A mixe...
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have become essential for the democratization of education by providing accessible learning opportunities to broad audiences. However, their asynchronous and open structure is challenging for learning, especially in terms of maintaining engagement, and self-regulated learning (SRL) is necessary. This study invest...
This review explores the role of chatbots in education through a detailed literature review of 60 records. As chatbots become increasingly embedded in students' daily lives, their presence in primary, secondary, and tertiary education is expanding rapidly. By analyzing the selected papers, this review highlights both the opportunities and challenge...
In the dynamic landscape of higher education, digital technologies are crucial for fostering collaboration and knowledge dissemination. European universities are embracing this shift through “European Universities”, transnational alliances aimed at enhancing academic exchange and innovation. The Unite! alliance, as part of its Erasmus+ project, est...

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology necessitates addressing the topic of self-regulated learning (SRL) given its potential for personalized learning experiences. Educational Technologies (EdTech) have the capacity to facilitate SRL within educational contexts, particularly in remote learning scenarios. This study explor...
Unsere Hochschule ist ein Ort der Vielfalt und Heterogenität. Bezüglich der Diversität beim Vorwissen unserer Studienanfänger:innen spielen Individualisierung und gezielte Förderung eine wichtige Rolle. In diesem Beitrag geben wir Einblick in die Implementierung eines generativen KI (genKI) Chatbots für Studienanfänger:innen im Fachbereich Informat...
In the era of transformative technologies, generative artificial intelligence (genAI) offers profound opportunities and challenges for education. This study explores the development and execution of an interactive workshop designed to equip educators with foundational genAI literacy. Using a design-based research (DBR) framework, the workshop lever...
