Since February 2020 I am an Adjunct Professor at Universitas Negeri Malang in Indonesia. As a start of this new task, a delegation of my university planned a visit already in March 2020 in Bad Reichenhall. But Covid-19 has made it necessary to cancel the visit in the first week of March.
Two and a half years later, the time had come and we were able to welcome the delegation from Indonesia to BIMS e.V..
We were pleased to welcome the following high-level delegation:
Prof. Utami Widiati, PhD, Dean of Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang
Dr. Dewi Kartika Ardiyani, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang
Dr. Primardiana Hermilia Wijayati, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang
Dr. Moch Syahri, Vice Dean for Finance, Infrastructure, and Human Resources, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang
Dr. Edy Hidayat, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang
Together with Martin Ebner and Martin Sch?n we had an intensive exchange and it is really wonderful to meet people „for real“ after such a long time online.
And of course, we took the opportunity to show our colleagues some wonders of the Berchtesgadener Alpen (Prof. Utami Widiati is missing because she arrived a day later).
We are already looking forward to all further collaborations!
We just wrote a short essay about the digital transformation in higher education and how we are able to describe the current situation. Therfore, we propose a stage model of digital transformation.
Together with my colleagues we did research about OER policies in Higher Education with a strong focus on Germany, Austria and Switzerland for the Asian Journal of Distance Education:
Abstract:The 2019 UNESCO recommendation on Open Educational Resources (OER) encourages member states to monitor policies and mechanisms in OER across the world. In higher education, there are many initiatives and policies around OER. This contribution gives insights into the current situation concerning OER policy documents that are of national or institutional relevance for public higher education institutions in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. For each country, a different approach for identifying OER policy documents was chosen, dependent on the availability of documents and different dominant forms of documentation. Whereas digital documents available on the web were found as helpful sources for Germany, and performance agreements between the national ministry and individual universities were used for analysis in Austria, a survey amongst all universities was the chosen research approach in Switzerland to give an overview about potentially OER related policy documents. All these documents are now made available via the OER World Map. With this contribution, the authors also highlight the possibility of using the OER World Map as a powerful tool to collect and evaluate OER policy documents.

Im Rahmen eines Lehrauftrags an der PH Ober?sterreich haben Martin Ebner und ich wieder einen zweit?gigen Workshop zu den Themen OER und MOOCs angeboten. Als Arbeitsauftrag gilt es dabei auch, OER zu ver?ffentlichen. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass es damit wieder gelungen ist, vielen Knowhow und Spa? am OER-Machen vermitteln zu k?nnen – und natürlich auch darüber, dass es nun wieder vier Handvoll mehr OER gibt:
Im FNMA-Magazin 1/2022 haben wir die Ergebnisse des Webinars im Dezember 2021 nochmals zusammengefasst unter dem Titel „Weitere ?sterreichische Hochschulen ver?ffentlichen eine Policy zu offenen Bildungsressourcen – Zum Austausch der AG OER„:
Bei der fnma-Arbeitsgruppe zu offenen Bildungsressourcen dreht sich alles um die bisherige Entwicklung und F?rderung von OER. Anfang Dezember 2021 ging es um Erfahrungen mit der Erstellung von strategischen Bekenntnissen und Ma?nahmen ?sterreichischer Hochschulen.

Our article about „Teaching German as a Foreign Language with Open Educational Resources (OER)“ got published in the International Journal of Emerging Technologies:
Abstract:
The focus of this research is to find OER to be used in learning German as a foreign language levels A1 to B1 of the The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) standards and to implement in teaching at University of Malang (Indonesia). An overview of the OER will be given, which was categorized language learning level, themes, among others level and themes. From the implementation in university classes with about 19-21 years old, our interviews with five lecturers and their answers in an online questionnaire showed that the OER material in learning did provide many benefits for lecturers and students, including the variety of materials, the forms, and the economic aspect. However, the existing OER still have some downsides, like their suitability to the needs of lecturers and students, in terms of their themes, the technical requirements and levels of difficulty.
