Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 13Learning Management Systems on Blended Learning Courses: An Experience-Based Observation(Springer Verlag service@springer.de, 2017-09-28) Kuran, Mehmet Şükrü; Pedersen, Jens Myrup; Elsner, RaphaelThis paper gives an overview of Learning Management System (LMS) features based on observations on a blended learning course under the Erasmus+ project COLIBRI. We explain the main features of LMSes under two main categories: accessibility content-related and underline the capabilities of four LMSes, Moodle, Blackboard Learn, Canvas, and Stud.IP with respect to these. We explain how these features were utilized to increase the efficiency, tractability, and quality of experience of the course. We found that an LMS with advanced features such as progress tracking, modular course support, interactive content support, and content access restriction is of paramount importance for blended learning courses. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2History-Themed Games in History Education: Experiences on a Blended World History Course(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-04) Kuran, Mehmet Şükrü; Tozoğlu, Ahmet Erdem; Tavernari, CinziaIn this paper we explain our experiences and observations on a blended world history course which combines classical lecture and discussion elements as well as video game sessions in which the students play strategy video games with heavy historical focus. The course, named Playing with The Past, is designed to experiment on how to integrate video games on teaching history especially in order to achieve a higher understanding of the contemporary social, political, economical, and technological context of a given era for a given nation. We ran the course four times between 2015-2018 with different video game titles having different historical models and observe the experiences and learning of students based on the quality of their written essays and articles. Our experiments and observations could be beneficial not only for the design of a general world history course, but also for a history course on specific periods, cultures, and nations. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
