This extremely complex and time-consuming procedure can result in enormous additional costs for them. This paper presents transfer learning-based algorithms for classifying beer bottle brands using camera images, applicable in individual sorting solutions for different use cases. The problem is tackled using customised EfficientNet, InceptionResNet and VGG models along with an augmented dataset. In addition, a detailed analysis of different model and parameter combinations is performed, enabling tailor-made technologies for specific conditions and resource limitations. In accompanying validations and subsequent tests, a test accuracy of 100% in the recognition of beer brands could be achieved, proving the proposed method fully contributes to the solution of the problem.

While these platforms are crucial for providing teaching materials, they often fall short in addressing individual student needs. A system within an academic setting, capable of creating and presenting individual learning paths for each student, can solve these issues. These paths are composed of various learning elements - defined in our previous work as units of educational content with which a learner works. Currently, there is no suitable system that enables the integration of learning path generating algorithms into a digital course room. Therefore we present an application that enables this integration into the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). More precisely, this paper presents a Moodle plugin together with its framework. It describes the mechanism for effectively collecting data from Moodle, which AI algorithms then use to generate personalized learning paths. Subsequently these paths are visualized with the help of the Moodle plugin. We started with a set of requirements and use cases for the interface connecting Moodle to the AI system, which were established with a group of experts. Based on the requirements, various relevant technologies were assessed, and the best ones were chosen for implementation. Following that, the paper develops a strategy for software structuring as well as an architecture, focusing on performance, modularity, and ease of deployment for widespread use. Furthermore, the architecture ensures a simple method for integrating the algorithms. Afterwards, the framework's concrete implementation is described. A technique for enriching learning elements with metadata is presented, and additionally a concept for presenting these learning elements within a hierarchy. Moreover, it is shown how questionnaire responses and learning analytics are utilized for data collection. We cover in detail techniques for extracting and storing data from the Moodle database, as well as methods for customizing Moodle course rooms and a standard API for incorporating AI algorithms. Finally, the paper discusses the application of the proposed framework in an actual course and how student feedback is collected, which could enhance the framework. It concludes with an assessment of the outcomes obtained and prospects for the framework's future advancements.

The automotive sector is changing due to automated driving functions, connected vehicles, and electric vehicles. This development also creates new and more critical vulnerabilities. This paper addresses a possible countermeasure, automotive IT security education. Some existing solutions are evaluated and compared with the created Automotive Penetration Testing Education Platform (APTEP) framework. In addition, the APTEP architecture is described. It consists of three layers representing different attack points of a vehicle. The realization of the APTEP is a hardware case and a virtual platform referred to as the Automotive Network Security Case (ANSKo). The hardware case contains emulated control units and different communication protocols. The virtual platform uses Docker containers to provide a similar experience over the internet. Both offer two kinds of challenges. The first introduces users to a specific interface, while the second combines multiple interfaces, to a complex and realistic challenge. This concept is based on modern didactic theories, such as constructivism and problem-based/challenge-based learning. Computer Science students from the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule (OTH) Regensburg experienced the challenges as part of a elective subject. In an online survey evaluated in this paper, they gave positive feedback. Also, a part of the evaluation is the mapping of the ANSKo and the maturity levels in the Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) practice Education & Guidance as well as the SAMM practice Security Testing. The scientific contribution of this paper is to present an APTEP, a corresponding learning concept and an evaluation method.

Lecturers teaches content and students acquire that content in an efficient way. To structure content, learning element categories are evaluated from the student's point of view in higher education area. The aim is to validate given definitions of ten learning element categories within a Learning Management System (LMS). This paper evaluates a categorization of learning elements for organizing learning content in online education within LMSs. Therefore, ten categories of learning elements and corresponding definitions were defined in a previous work as base for this paper. The learning elements to examine are manuscript, exercise, quiz, brief overview, learning goal, summary, collaboration tool, auditory additional material, textual additional material, and visual additional material. To validate the definitions and to get improvements to each learning element a survey is processed. Beside the demographic data questions, the survey consists of two questions to the acceptance of the definitions and asks for improvements. 148 students between the ages 19 and 35 participate in the survey in summer term 2023. The education level of the participants ranges from undergraduates to Ph.D. students. The results of this paper are that more than 80% accept the given definitions. Some definitions of the learning elements are changed, but the changes are restricted to additions of maximal four words. This categorization of learning elements could lead to improvements in learning by giving the content more structure. With the structure students get the possibility to learn with preferred learning elements which could lead to more success in learning and to a decreasing dropout rate in universities. In the future, the learning elements allow to classify content within LMSs with the goal of generating individual learning paths. Furthermore, our project will integrate these learning elements, use them to generate learning paths, and could set a new standard in the way of personalized learning.

This is especially true for data analysis – a task that usually requires knowledge from two distinct areas: statistics and programming. To support prospective researchers with that task, we developed a web-based tool called eyenalyzer. It supports common activities in the data analysis phase of empirical studies in a way that is suitable for novices in both, statistics and programming. The present article describes a controlled experiment investigating the impact of this tool with a total of 20 participants. All of them are given a set of common data analysis tasks. Half of the participants complete the tasks using eyenalyzer, the other half can use anything except for eyenalyzer. For each task and participant, we record the time in minutes, the task score, and the perceived difficulty. The results confirm that our tool is a valuable support for novice researchers: With eyenalyzer, the participants are significantly faster, achieve higher scores, and perceive the tasks to be less difficult.

T1 - Under The Hood - A Concept for Virtualized Automotive Security Education T2 - EDULEARN21: Proceedings, 13th International Conference on Education and New Learning Technologies, Online Conference. 5-6 July, 2021 N2 - In recent years, our society faced a massive interconnection of computer-based everyday objects, which opens these items for cyber-attacks. Dependent on the physical capabilities, successful attacks can vary from data exposure or a loss of functionality to a threat to life and limb. Connected- and autonomous vehicles are extremely safety-critical systems with a huge damage potential. This global trend, together with existing and upcoming regulations (ISO 270xx, ISO 21434, UNECE WP.29, UNECE R155), and the lack of qualified professionals create a tension field for the entire automotive industry. Hence, new education concepts for engineers of safety-critical and connected systems are necessary to secure our daily and future systems against cyber-attacks and raise awareness and knowledge of the topic of IT-Security. Existing automotive security education systems have one common problem: All systems are hardware-based and therefore have very steep learning curves for beginners. Hardware-based systems, in general, are expensive in their initial costs, require regular maintenance, and add diverse operational difficulties independent of the aspired education goal. Additionally, the global pandemic increased the necessity of virtual education concepts for security training in cyber-physical systems. Therefore, we present a novel concept for the education of cyber-security professionals for automotive systems based on discovery and problem-based learning in a virtual learning environment (VLE). Our concept contains individual exercises focusing on the topics of vulnerabilities and attacks in automotive networks and systems. Each exercise relates those topics to the corresponding security goals and countermeasures for mitigation. The learners work collaboratively in a self-contained manner within the VLE to acquire the necessary information to answer questions or find a solution to the given problem. To consider the heterogeneous background (e.g. knowledge, experience, preconceptions) of the learners, the topics can be presented in different difficulties, enabling an adaptable learning environment and different learning trajectories within the exercises. The concept is based on a VLE, consisting of automotive networks and components, which simulate the behavior of a vehicle. This environment provides a hands-on, "real-life" scenario, which allows discovery and problem-based learning in a realistic, but cheap and scalable education environment. Furthermore, virtualization removes common difficulties, always present in training on real hardware. This aims to decrease complexity, prevent learning obstacles related to hardware handling, and enables a location-independent learning environment. The target group of our education concept is Bachelor and Master students of computer science, engineering (e.g. electrical engineering, mechatronics), or similar studies, and (experienced) engineers from the industry. In summary, our publication contains two contributions. We present an adaptable virtual learning environment for automotive security education, combined with an educational concept based on discovery and problem-based learning techniques. The goals of our concept are the education of cyber-security professionals for safety-critical, connected automotive systems and the support of life-long learning reaching from academic education to training in the industry.

However, data noise in eye tracking data poses a challenge to researchers and educators, as it leads to gaze positions being measured imprecisely under unfavorable conditions. In our previous study, we systematically investigated factors that influence data quality and are easily controllable in a classroom or laboratory environment, such as illumination, sampling frequency, and head orientation. However, no recommendations regarding the light source and light orientation could be provided, as these influences could not be analyzed in sufficient detail. Yet, a further examination of these factors, eliminating human influences by using an artificial head, revealed significant differences between individual settings. Hence, in this empirical study of eye tracking as an educational technology, we delve deeper into examining the impact of both light source and light orientation on data quality. This is investigated with an artificial head together with the Tobii Pro Spectrum eye tracking device. To measure data quality, we use the metrics precision and standard deviation as indicators of data noise. The obtained results derive practical advice for educators and researchers, such as not to illuminate the subject from the rear, in order to gather useful data for research and future classroom applications. Thereby, this study serves as a complement to our previous research, answering open questions regarding best practices for researchers and educators when using eye trackers. It aims to provide valuable insights into producing data of the highest quality possible when using eye trackers, both in laboratory settings and in future classrooms applications.

A global gaze pattern is present if a participant in an eye tracking study gains an overview of the stimulus, whereas a focal pattern emerges during a more detailed evaluation of a specific part of the stimulus. With this higher-level measure of global and focal gaze patterns, cognitive effort, expertise levels, and even neurological characteristics - such as autism - can be quantified. Furthermore, with this measure, cognitive efforts of students in certain tasks can be investigated and clues for targeted support can be provided. These properties in particular make this eye tracking measure valuable for the education domain. In the field of eye tracking research, many researchers have established distinct criteria for differentiating global and focal gaze patterns. Moreover, it is rarely quantitatively measured which of these patterns is present, but rather determined based on qualitative considerations. However, some studies explicitly use quantitative metrics like saccade-length or fixation-duration to distinguish between global and focal gaze patterns. This is the focus of the present systematic literature review: It searches for and compiles the eye tracking metrics used in the literature to distinguish global from focal gaze patterns in a quantitative way. In doing so, this study fills the yawning gap in quantitative metrics for determining global and focal gaze patterns. In the long run, this can be used to answer questions about cognitive load and problems in processing tasks during eye tracking studies and to provide further insights into the cognitive processes of students. The present paper first discusses definitions of global and focal gaze patterns and presents examples in which this metric has already been applied. Then, the research questions together with search strings and search engines used for the systematic literature review are described. Finally, the results are summarized, presenting a compilation of and connections between quantitative metrics utilized in the literature to distinguish between global and focal viewing patterns.

Driven by the expanding frontiers of Artificial Intelligence and its potential for data analysis, eye tracking technology offers promising applications in diverse fields, from usability research to cognitive research. The education sector in particular can benefit from the increased use of eye tracking technology - both indirectly, for example by studying the differences in gaze patterns between experts and novices to identify promising strategies, and directly by using the technology itself to teach in future classrooms. As with any empirical method, the results depend directly on the quality of the data collected. That raises the question of which parameters educators or researchers can influence to maximize the data quality of an eye tracker. This is the starting point of the present work: In an empirical study of eye tracking as an (educational) technology, we systematically examine factors that influence the data quality, such as illumination, sampling frequency, and head orientation - parameters that can be varied without much additional effort in everyday classroom or research use - using two human subjects, an artificial face, and the Tobii Pro Spectrum. We rely on metrics derived from the raw gaze data, such as accuracy or precision, to measure data quality. The obtained results derive practical advice for educators and researchers, such as using the lowest sampling frequency appropriate for a certain purpose. Thereby, this research fills a gap in the current understanding of eye tracker performance and, by offering best practices, enables researchers or teachers to produce data of the highest quality possible and therefore best results when using eye trackers in laboratories or future classrooms.

This paper examines the usefulness and comprehensibility of the MISRA C:2012 guidelines in an eye tracking study. There, subjects encounter non-compliant code in four different code review settings: with no additional reference, with an actual MISRA C guideline, with a case-specific interpretation of a MISRA C guideline, and with a compliant version of the code. The data collected was analyzed not only in terms of the four presentation styles, but also by dividing the subjects into experience levels based on their semesters of study or years of work experience. Regarding the difference between actual and interpreted guidelines, we found that for interpreted guidelines the error detection rate is higher whereas the duration and frequency of visits to the guideline itself are mainly lower. This suggest that the actual guidelines are less useful and more difficult to understand. The former is contradicted by the subjects’ opinions: when surveyed, they rated the usefulness of the actual guidelines higher.
