education students in
the world is expected to
quadruple,
from around 100 million
in 2000
to 400 million in 2030”

6. To accommodate them we need to build
9.615 universities in 30 years
That is 3 universities
For 30.000 students
per week

8. “Open and online
education allows
people from around the
world access to the top
education of TU Delft.
It enables everybody
who wants to develop
themselves and
accommodates the
increasing number of
students seeking higher
education. TU Delft is
dedicated to deliver
world class education
to everyone.” Drs. Anka Mulder. Vice President Education TU Delft

11. …time that we accept
this challenge and
recreate our institutions
for service in a networked,
lifelong learning context
…quality procedures for improvement
aim at enhancing future
performance rather than
judging past performance
….growing disruption of higher
education’s traditional business
models, there is a steady move
towards ‘openness’ that is
driving innovation and has the
potential to create a new paradigm
in HE
..biggest challenge in innovation
is envisioning a new paradigm and
abandoning the old constructs

15. The MOOC hype cycle
Bubble
Installation period
& technological revolutions
Collapse
Deployment period
A very slow tsunami: projection of the Hype Cycle for MOOCs
by Jonathan Tapson, University of Western Sydney http://pandodaily.com/2013/09/13/moocs-and-the-gartner-hype-cycle-a-very-slow-
tsunami/
We are here
In this situation we should "move policy thinking (…) towards actively shaping market conditions to enable the full
flourishing of the newly installed technological potential into what can be a sustainable global golden age"
Carlota Perez
(referring to the financial crisis)
16. Main message Xavier Prats-Monne of the EC
“What can
MOOCs do?” is
not relevant any
longer; rather, we
have to ask
"What should
MOOCs do?”
Will affect higher
education and that the
traditional educational
map must be redrawn
with other structures,
colors, models,
pedagogy, organization,
management

23. Beyond the MOOCs…
“MOOCs can claim
a special status at
the moment in
innovating pedagogy:
they bring together
other innovations”
Ossiannilsson 2014
24. Learning Analytics
NMC 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014…
"Field associated with deciphering trends and
patterns from educational big data, or huge sets of
student-related data, to further the advancement of a
personalized, supportive system of higher
education."
Learning Analytics G Siemens 2012
Ossiannilsson 2014
28. Challenges to develop Learning Analytics
…that start with questions, not data
What problems could analytics help to solve?
What will learners and educators gain?
How will the analytics support positive change?

31. Rationals to use Learning Analytics
Learners
Monitor their own
activities, interactions
and learning process
Compare their activity
with that of others
Increase awareness,
reflect and self-reflect
Improve discussion and
participation
Learning behaviour and
performance
Become better learners,
and
…to learn
Sharples et al. Innovating Pedagogy 2013
32. Rationals to use Learning Analytics
Educators/Researchers
Monitor the learning
process
Explore student data
Identify problems
Discover patterns
Find early indicators for
success, poor marks or
drop-out
Assess usefulness of
learning materials
Increase awareness, reflect and
self-reflect
Increase understanding of
learning environments
Intervene, supervise, advise and
assist, and…
Improve teaching, resources and
the environment
Mapping/data/next best practice…
Sharples et al. Innovating Pedagogy 2013
33. Rationals to use Learning Analytics
Organizations
Local, regional and
national educational
progress…to be measured
and improved
Students interactions
online and with
courseware/when and
what
Tailor recommendations
to custumers/Google,
Amazon/Netflix
Evidens for…
Improvement
Allocate resources
Assess effectiveness
Personalized learning paths
Behaviour specific data
NMC 2014

35. Timescale
Most current analytics focus on data about
the past, reporting what has happened
Other analytics link the present situation
with a predicted future; using forecasts and
predictive modelling to identify indicators of
success, failure or student drop out
A preferable approach, linking learning
analytics and learning design, will be the use
of analytics to support educators and
learners to produce a desired future result
Sharples et al. Innovating Pedagogy 2013
36. Learning Analytics
…Infrastructure and frameworks in place for learning
analytics is increasingly important
New trend
…Social learning analytics, including tools to help people
develop ideas together through discussion and writing
...Data from the physical environment, including gestures
and both eye tracking and sensor data.
This information can be used to monitor attention,
engagement and emotional state
37. Future data policies will need to…
Involve learners in the processes of developing and acting on
analytics
Involve learners in the processes of developing and acting on
analytics
Allow them a say in how they are labelled
Make clear the responsibilities everyone involved has for
providing accurate data and for acting on recommendations
…learning and teaching ethics committees alongside pre-existing
research ethics committees, in order to safeguard
educators and learners from issues such as mislabelling,
misleading analytics and pressure to share sensitive data
43. Learning design/Learning Analytics
“a virtuous circle,
where inquiry into the
learning process feeds
into learning design,
which motivates
learning analytics”
DISRUPTIONS

I am Ebba Ossiannilsson, Lund University, Sweden
I recently, dec 2012 earned my PhD from Oulu University in Finland and I did it through distance
I work for several international and national organisations on open learning and quality and some of them are represented here by their logos
I will here especially emphazise the work on the Paris declaration by UNESCO, the work with OER Service and the MOOC quality project. I also use to serve as a reviewer for several organisations, such as EFQUEL and Epprobate.
I have been asked to talk about the topic I am happy to share this with you today
Vad betyder så varje bokstav
Massive =att det är för många, väldigt många
Open = öppen i vidaste mening, i stort sett enbart ngn devise o Internet
Online = online inga fysiska möten alls
Course = att det är en kurs, vanligtvis veckomoduler
Vidare att MOOCen är autonom, mångfaldig, öppen och interaktiv
Autonomy, Diversity, Openess, Interactivity
Jfr Downes blogpost
cMOOC community basearat, man bygger gemenasmt kursen allteftersom
xMOOC innehållsbaserad
Open Badges
Såvida det inte är arbetsgivaren som ger sk Open Badges, som jag nämnde nyss, vilket redan är vanligt förekommande. I landet väster över…
===================================
Taxonomi 8 varianter Clark (2013)
transferMOOCs
madeMOOCs
synchMOOCs
asynchMOOCs
adaptiveMOOCs
groupMOOCs
connectivistMOOCS
miniMOOCSs
Note that these are not mutually exclusive categories, as one can have a transfer MOOC that is synchronous or asynchronous. What’s important here is that we see MOOCs as informing the debate around learning to get over the obvious problems of relevance, access and cost. This is by no means a definitive taxonomy but it’s a start. I’d really appreciate any comments, critiques or new categories.
As my strong believe caring is sharing
