Technology enhanced learning
The development and effective use of digital technologies
to support learning, teaching and research
Web-based training, computer-based training, web-based
learning, and online learning
10. What are Open Educational
Resources?
“digitised materials offered freely and openly for
educators, students and self-learners to use and
reuse for teaching, learning and research”
11. How might OER be useful?
Identifying as a collective
Types of resources that are in use by staff and students in
your institution on daily basis
Occasions and opprtunities for using Open Educational
Resources
12. Challenges and
Opportunities
1. Making eLearning core to school Teaching and
Learning
2. Improving eLearning Collaboration and Sharing
within eLearning Sector
3. Researching and Improving educational quality of
eLearning experience
4. Adoption of Standards and improve
interoperability
Editor's Notes
Global knowledge based economies
Population
Broaden Access
Increased flexibility
Widen student engagement
Improving overall Quality
Pedagogical approach
Research led teaching
Assessment based learning
Motivation for staff & students
Cutting Cost
Return on Value
Redesign of traditional courses
Remaining innovative and relevant
Key challenges continued….
Must adapt to the creation of knowledge-based economies operating globally
whilst providing:
Large scale or Mass HE and wider access to education
Basic and Applied Research
Lifelong learning (especially continuing professional development)
Direct economic impact (especially locally)
Improving social inclusion in a climate of rising pressure from increasing (transnational) competition
(HECTIC Report 2002)
General situationTrends affecting education and training systems in Europe
Growing and more articulated demand
Different expectations, motivations, skills and learning models
Incorporation for courses, by regular students, from providers other than their own university
Increase demand for life long learning - giving rise to ‘for profit new providers’
Expansion of University role to accommodate policy for economic development and social inclusion
Consequences of globalisation and LLL agenda => modified role of certification
Tension retain core nature and value set of University education - ‘graduateness’, ‘transformative nature of university experience’
....E-learning is simply a medium for delivering learning and like any other medium advantages and disadvantages.
covers a wide array of activities
2 min Podcast interview with Catherine Kane –
eLearning or Technology enhanced learning is the development and effective use of digital technologies to support learning, teaching (and research)
Lots of different terms but they all mWeb-based training, computer-based training or web-based learning, and online ....Each of this implies a "just-in-time" instructional and learning approach.
Ranges from:
supported learning blended / hybrid learning learning that occurs 100% online.
Sound e-learning is founded on instructional design principles pedagogical elements that take into account learning theories.
Given its nature, online distance education is well matched with e-learning and flexible learning but is also used for in-class teaching and blended learning.
A holistic, pedagogically led approach to enhancing learning with digital technologies
Sound e-learning is founded on instructional design principles pedagogical elements that take into account learning theories.
Integration within the university’s academic community and organisational infrastructure.
'pedagogy first, technology second' approach is essential for success (Wade, 2002).
integration of the support needed by an aspiring academic within a university (e.g. technology assistance, pedagogic advice/training, materials design and development assistance, and administration).
‘Soft’ factors are also required for effective innovation, such as time and reward for Academics to develop e-learning resources and cultural change to list a few (Somekh, 1998).
Should be developed according to course and learner needs
Inline with current teaching methods
Ethos
Encouraging and Supporting student responsibility for learning
Increasing flexibility for student participation
Increasing student engagement and interactivity in learning
Accommodating diverse range of learners
Organisation of eLearning Support
Integrated (pedagogy and technology) support centres
Technologies and Platforms
Virtual learning Environments (WebCT, Blackboard Moodle, SAKAI),
Student Portals, Assessment Tools, Plagiarism Tools (Turn-It-In),
Design and Development Tools (DreamWeaver, Flash, Articulate, Camtasia, Adobe Presenter, etc

Open Access
The Open Access research literature is composed of free, online copies of peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers as well as technical reports, theses and working papers. In most cases there are no licensing restrictions on their use by readers. They can therefore be used freely for research, teaching and other purposes. But not repurposed – so tension / difference with OERs
Open Source
Licenses that grant of the right to freely redistribute the software, access to the source code, and the permission to modify that source code and distribute the modified version of the software.
Open Licensing
Access, Redistribution, Source, Reuse, Absence of technological restrictions, Attribution, Integrity, No discrimination, Distribution of licence, Independence, No restriction on other works (This list is based on definitions of “open knowledge” and “open source software”).
Open Standards
Support sharing, reuse and repurposing by enabling tools to be developed that can interoperate.
“’resources’ are not limited to content- comprise three areas, these are (OECD, 2007):
Learning content: Full courses, courseware, content modules, learning objects, collections and journals.
Tools: Software to support the development, use, reuse and delivery of learning content, including searching and organisation of content, content and learning management systems, content development tools, and online learning communities.
Implementation resources: Intellectual property licenses to promote open publishing of materials, design principles of best practice and localise content”
