In the ESF project "StudiPortal Brandenburg", eight Brandenburg universities, colleges and the Brandenburg Study Orientation Network are working together on the development of a portal for study orientation, preparation and support. An important part of the project is to store questions from different systems in a question exchange database and make it accessible for all project partners. Since there is currently no well-functioning option for this, we decided to develop an extension for integration into our question exchange platform. For this purpose, a new Moodle plugin was developed at BTU Cottbus - Senftenberg that converts questions from the QTI 2.1 standard into Moodle XML and vice versa. The aim was to convert as many question types as possible free of loss. For this purpose, questions from various systems that work with the QTI standard were made available and tested for the possibility of lossless conversion. The result is the prototype of a plugin that can convert eight different question types. In this article we present the first prototype of the plugin.
In the European Social Fund (ESF)project "Profilgebundene-Wissenschecks 2.0", seven Brandenburg Universities and Colleges are working together on the implementation and further development of online tools for study orientation, study preparation and support. The work packages include the development of online subject quizzes(online self-assessments), in order to support prospective students to compare their individual knowledge levels with the knowledge required at the beginning of their studies. Depending on the results achieved, e-learning units are provided with the necessary subject-related knowledge.These unitscan be refreshed independently and the attendance of preliminary courses is recommended. The basis for the online assessments is a cross-university question exchange platform on which the affiliated universities sharethe developed questions and thereby establish a nationwide quality standard for self-assessments. The project partners at Brandenburg University of TechnologyCottbus -Senftenberg (BTU)are responsible fordeveloping the question exchange platform and for making the platform available to all partner universities. For this purpose, a concept was developed, whereinMoodle Learning Management Systems (LMS)is used as a basis and expandedto include functions for storing questions with associated metadata and search functions to search for questions with specific metadata. The concept of the cross-university question exchange platform is presented in this paper.
Portal for generating cross university didactic self-assessment apps without programming skills
(2021)
Based on the didactic concept of a school mathematics app, a portal for the automatic creation of interdisciplinary learning apps without programming knowledge is being developed at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus – Senftenberg (BTU). The aim was to develop the conception and implementation of a portal for the creation of universal learning apps as a mobile (online) assessment for the study entry phase on the one hand and the publication of the apps on the other. This article presents the basic concept of the app portal, the structure of the app portal, and initial tests of the prototype with faculty and students at BTU.
