The Value of Distance Education: Burden or Blessing?Mark Brown
Presentation at the Graduate Employment Conference: The Economic Value of Higher Education. Commonwealth Association of Universities, Auckland, 12th July, 2013.
E-learning is part of the biggest change in training since the invention of the chalkboard or perhaps the alphabet.
The development of computers and electronic communications has removed barriers of space and time. We can obtain and deliver knowledge anytime anywhere.
Online classes are consistently imparting and improving knowledge of learners separated by geographical distances.
Academics should reclaim their voice in society, NOW!Inge de Waard
Slides inspired on a keynote given at EDEN2016 RW in Oldenburg, Germany.
I think we (all of us academics) should start reclaiming our place in society.
Twitter has been celebrated as a tool for professional learning. However many of the assertions about the benefits of Twitter for professional learning have been anecdotal proclamations rather than research-evidenced claims.
This presentation draws on findings from my EdD research, which explored how higher education professionals use Twitter for learning. A case study approach enabled in-depth exploration of how and why Twitter was used by professionals for learning about teaching-related practices. The research found that participants used Twitter in different ways: some peripherally participated on Twitter, while others participated at the centre of online-networked spaces.
These findings contradict commonly held views that open online spaces, such as Twitter, are inherently social. The research established that capacity to participate, feelings of confidence and vulnerability, and finding a sense of belonging online were contributing factors to participation or non-participation in such spaces.
These findings highlight the complexity of participating in online social spaces for learning. Thus, there are implications for those who advocate online social networks for learning. Critical thought and further discussion coupled with suitable supports are required if open online spaces are to be advocated and encouraged for learning in higher education contexts.
A brief overview on open Education, the emergence of Open Courses, lessons learnt from Free / Libre Open Source Software Communities & some recent projects in this field at which we are working on.
Presentation shared by author at the 9th EDEN Research Workshop "Forging new pathways of research and innovation in open and distance learning: Reaching from the roots" held on 4-6 October 2016, in Oldenburg, Germany.

Critical issues in contemporary open education researchRobert Farrow
This presentation outlines some key considerations for researchers working in the fields of open education, OER and MOOC. Key lines of debate in the open education movement will be described and critically assessed. A reflective overview of the award-winning OER Research Hub project will be used to frame several key considerations around the methodology and purpose of OER research (including 'impact' and 'open practices'). These will be compared with results from a 2016 OER Hub consultation with key stakeholders in the open education movement on research priorities for the sector. The presentation will conclude with thoughts on the potential for openness to act as a disruptive force in higher education.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Values
• We can (and must) continuously improve the
quality, effectiveness, appeal, cost and time
efficiency of the learning experience.
• Student control and freedom is integral to 21st
century life-long education and learning.
• Continuing education opportunity is a basic
human right.
6. Outline
• Different elearning , different pedagogies and
different technologies
• Generations of Online Education Pedagogy
• Social Forms to Match Pedagogies
• Beyond the LMS
– Athabasca Landing boutique social network
7. • McLuhan “We shape our tools and
thereafter our tools shape us”
• “When physical spaces for
learning go online (distributed,
non-hierarchical, networked,
digital), new, more effective
pedagogies emerge”. George
Siemens
8. Three Generations of
Online Learning Pedagogy
1. Behaviourist/Cognitive –
2. Social Constructivist –
3. Connectivist
Anderson, T., & Dron, J. (2011). Three generations of
distance education pedagogy.
IRRODL, 12(3), 80-97
10. Gagne’s Events of Instruction (1965)
1. Gain learners' attention
2. Inform learner of objectives
3. Stimulate recall of previous information
4. Present stimulus material
5. Provide learner guidance
6. Elicit performance
7. Provide Feedback
8. Assess performance
9. Enhance transfer opportunities
Instructional Systems Design (ISD)
11. Enhanced by the “cognitive
revolution”
• Chunking
• Cognitive Load
• Working Memory
• Multiple Representations
• Split-attention effect
• Variability Effect
• Multi-media effect
– (Sorden, 2005)
“learning as acquiring and using conceptual and cognitive structures”
Greeno, Collins and Resnick, 1996
12. Technologies of Ist generation
• CAI, text books, One way Lectures, Video and
audio broadcasts and webcasts with
advancements??
14. Learning Alone
• Maximizes Freedom:
– Space, time, pace,
• Allows and promotes
individualization
• Freedom from “group think”
• Power of auto-didacticism
• Freedom from groups
15. Cognitive Behaviourist Ontology
• Knowledge is logically coherent, existing
independent of perspective
• Context free
• Capable of being transmitted
• Assumes closed systems with discoverable
relationships between inputs and outputs
17. Self Directed or Self Paced learning
• Learner sets start date and the time to
completion
• Continuous assessment
• Maximizes learner control
• Higher drop out
• Ted Talks, Khan Academy, OERU
• Only one of the Major MOOCs (Udacity)
providers offers this option
23. Big Data &Education
1) Technology: maximizing computation power and
algorithmic accuracy to gather, analyze, link, and
compare large data sets.
2) Analysis: drawing on large data sets to identify
patterns in order to make economic, social, technical,
and legal claims and design interventions.
3) Mythology: the widespread belief that large data sets
offer a higher form of intelligence and knowledge that
can generate insights that were previously impossible,
with the aura of truth, objectivity, and accuracy.

for a Cultural, Technological, and Scholarly Phenomenon
25. New Forms of Accrediting
Challenge Exams for Credit
26. 1st Generation,
Cognitive Behavioural Pedagogy
Summary
• Scalable
• Few requirements, or opportunities, for social
learning
• Works most efficiently with individual
learning models
• Effective and efficient for some types of
learning
• Have we really taught learners to succeed as
life long learners with this type of learning?
27. 27
2nd Generation
Constructivist Pedagogy
• Group Orientated
• Membership and exclusion, closed
• Not scalable - max 50 students/course
• Classrooms - at a distance or on campus
• Hierarchies of control
• Focus on collaboration and shared purpose
group
28. Constructivist Knowledge is:
• Knowledge is constructed, not transmitted
• Arrived at through dialogic encounters
(Bakhtin,) - the presence of others adds
motivation, conflicting ideas, social validation
• Teacher as group facilitator
“Dialogic as an epistemological framework supports an account of
education as the discursive construction of shared knowledge”
Wegerif, R.
29. 2nd Generation - Constructivist
• Current model for most Online Learning–
continued strong growth in US and globally
• Canada - “Student registrations jumped
another 18.4% in Winter 2013”
• Major employer of adjuncts
32% of US higher education students now take at least one course
30. Constructivist Learning in Groups
• Long history of research
and study
• Established sets of tools
– Classrooms
– Learning Management
Systems (LMS)
– Synchronous (chat, video
& net conferencing)
– Email, wikis, blogs
• Need to develop face to
face, mediated and
blended group learning
skills
Garrison, R., Anderson, T., & Archer, W. (2000). Critical thinking in text-based
environment: Computer conferencing in higher education. The Internet and
Higher Education, 2(2), 87-105.
31. • Increase in learning outcomes, social skills,
positive attitudes to learning BUT
• “the need for cooperative teams to mature
implies that cooperative learning does not
yield an immediate improvement …need for
patience and persistence… students
experienced in cooperative learning”
Hsiung, C.-m. (2012). The Effectiveness of Cooperative Learning. Journal of Engineering
Education, 101(1), 119-137.
32. The Power of Synchronous
Learning in Groups
• Immediacy
• Pacing
• Comfort level for student and teachers, but
DON’T fall into classroom lectures
• Social Modeling
34. Group Management
• Need good tools to allow group to work
effectively and efficiently to build trust and
work effectively at a distance
• Use Face-to-face (blended) time to do this.
40. Social Constructivist Social forms
• Group
• Limited in size
– Dunbar’s Max ~150 for a tribe
• Mutual awareness of each other
• Techer domination and dependency?
41. 2nd Generation
Social Constructivist Pedagogy
Summary
• Not scalable, expensive in terms of time and
money
• New group tools enhance efficiency
• Helps teachers and learners transition to
online learning a transference from good
classroom teaching
43. 3rd generation Connective
Pedagogies
• Heutagogy – Hase, S., & Kenyon, C. (2000).
From Andragogy to Heutagogy.
• Chaos Theory
• Activity Theory & Actor Network Theory (ANT)
– “systemic interactions of people and the objects
that they use in their interactions.”
44. Connectivism
• “connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is
distributed across a network of connections,
and therefore that learning consists of the
ability to construct and traverse those
networks.” Stephen Downes 2007
See special issue of
IRRODL.org
45. Connectivist Knowledge
• Is created by linking to appropriate people and
objects
• May be created and stored in non human devices
• Is as much about capacity as current competence
• Assumes the ubiquitous Internet
• Is emergent
George Siemens
48. Disruptions of Connectivism
• Demands net literacy and net
presence of students and
teachers
• Openness is scary
• New roles for teachers and
students
• Artifact ownership,
persistence and privacy
• Too manic for some
50. The Social Aggregations of
Generation 3 Connective Pedagogies
• Individuals
• Groups
• Networks
• Sets
3rd Gen. Connectivist
2nd Gen. Social
Constructivist
1st
Gen
C/B
54. • “If Google cannot find a faculty scholar's work
or the work of the scholar's colleagues,
department, or institution, then it is
essentially irrelevant — even nonexistent —
because people will not find, read, apply, or
build on the work if they cannot locate it via a
quick Google searchLowenthal & Dunlap

57. Sets
• Aggregation of all people/things sharing a
particular interest, commonality.
• Example: Set of all graduates of X, all
psychology resources
• Can be curated resources with social
involvement limited to votes, comments, links
• Sets MAY develop into networks or groups.
62. Connectivist Learning Summary
• Born on the Net
• Focuses on students being responsible for
their own learning and building their own
learning networks
• Is emergent and can be disruptive
• For advanced learners only??
63. Conclusion:
• the best part of Online Learning– is eclectic
allowing student exploration of their own
learning needs and gifts.
• Need to matching pedagogy, technology,
social forms and learning outcomes
• Empowerment, lifelong learning and smart
(not more) work for teachers
