Theme
The theme chosen for the Conference is “Mobilizing Distance Education for Social Justice and Innovation”, that is to say, contributing to mobilize Distance Education in its many modalities and forms, to build and transfer knowledge aimed at achieving valuable goals for societies that defend innovation and social justice.
The conference thus addresses one of the current priorities of international bodies such as the UNESCO’s “Education for All”, the OEI’s “Educational Goals XXI” and the European Union’s “Horizon Program 2020”, all of them geared to innovating to achieve intelligent, safe and inclusive societies.
What can higher education contribute to developing skills for the knowledge economy?Strategies for higher education in a more open and online world: the role of open and distance learning.
Education and learning is probably that single phenomenon that has the greatest impact on humans and societies, in particular in a long-term perspective (OECD 2014).
Grand challenge number one is to breach the trend preventing developing countries, in particular South of Everyone aspiring for higher education should have the right to affordable access. This is grand challenge number two. And it cannot be met without open education and technology enhanced learning.Sahara, taking part in the global knowledge revolution.
Three messages:
• Senior management in education needs to innovate from within to open up education.
• Governments must take firm decision on holistic policies for open and distance education.
• Stakeholders should team up meeting the two grand challenges through open education and technology enhanced learning.
With a focus on Sweden and Scandinavian countries, the position for expanding and developing EdTech, is analyzed with in light of the rapid update of Online and Open education - and use of licensed educational resources, OER.

The 21st century education context is generally characterised by three elements that constitute what is called the 21st Century Learning Framework. As can be deduced the key-defining feature of 21st Century education is that it is learner-centred. The first element of such a framework is Content Knowledge, or Foundational Knowledge that regroups core content knowledge, ICT skills and inter-disciplinary knowledge acquisition and development. The second component is about Learning and Innovation skills, that can be referred to a meta knowledge. This is about the learner’s ability to demonstrate innovative and creative skills, problem solving abilities and critical thinking as well as soft skills (communication and collaboration). The third element concerns humanism or life skills and values. It enables learners to acquire necessary skills to deal with the complex life and work environment in the globalised and information-driven world.

The UNESCO Open Educational Resources (OER) Chairs Meeting is being held within the framework of the Open Education Global Conference 2016 in Poland.
Participants in this global conference were able to hear from thought leaders in open education and had the opportunity to share ideas, practices and discuss issues important to the future of education worldwide. Sessions cover new developments in open education, research results, innovative technology, policy development and implementation, and practical solutions to challenges facing education around the world.
2015. What education do we need for the 21st century? What is the purpose of education

This presentation was given at the 5th World Forum for Lifelong Learning in Madrid 27 September 2017, in a panel/roundtable on lifelong learning and distance education, chaired by Alejandro Tiana Ferrer, rector for UNED and host for the Forum.
After having listened to my co-presenters and in the plenary before our roundtable plus material from my own presentation, I suggested the following input to the conclusions from the Forum:
1. We, believers in Lifelong Learning should mobilise for inclusive integrated lifelong learning in a digitalised world
2. We should suggest the direction to be, within the framework of Education 2030 SDG 4, inclusion and education as a public good, social justice as a point of departure.
3. Collaboration among all stakeholder, and this is also the lifeblood for having success for Education 2030.

This interactive discussion session focuses on the ways that higher education can promote the civic responsibility of college students and strengthen communities in the process. Drawing on his work in the field, and using concrete examples, Tom Ehrlich discusses how colleges and universities can equip students with the understanding, motivation, and skills of responsible and effective citizenship, and how communities and nonprofit organizations can benefit from neighboring institutions of higher education to promote their civic goals. The discussion includes teaching approaches such as community-service learning and community-based research; emerging issues involving the use of social media for promoting civic learning; and challenges facing community organizations in working with campuses.

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning - A social justice perspectiveBrenda Leibowitz
Talk given at the First International Conference on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at the Central University of Technology, Bloemfontein, on 1 - 2 October 2015
My keynote presentation and a session at the Manitoba TEAL Conference, October 23, 2015. The keynote focused on setting up language as a tool for critical literacy, for accessing the power structures in school and society at large.
The big gaps in education, the trends in online, open and flexible education and the drivers for open creates the background for benchmarking the Nordic countries towards the globe. Competitiveness and innovation, Human capital, Network and technology readiness are benchmarks. So what: What are key concept to approach to go digital? Online, Open and Analytics are game changers - but not without leadership for change.
Institutional strategies in the digital learning ageicdeslides
What issues and possible pathways for higher education institutions to consider when moving faster into the digital age? Do you want to be a forerunner in opening up education or don´t you care? Increased cooperation or more competition? Can you pay your way to quality education? MOOCing your way or will that lead you to the parking slot? Could you let your faculty lead? To change on the ground is different from changing the slides. 5 executives took their positions at EDUCA 2013.
Make the difference - at the UNESCO IITE Conference 2014icdeslides
Education and learning is probably that single phenomenon that has the greatest impact on humans and societies, in particular in a long-term perspective (OECD 2014).
Grand challenge number one is to breach the trend preventing developing countries, in particular South of Sahara, taking part in the global knowledge revolution. Everyone aspiring for higher education should have the right to affordable access. This is grand challenge number two. And it cannot be met without open education and technology enhanced learning.
Three messages:
• Senior management in education needs to innovate from within to open up education.
• Governments must take firm decision on holistic policies for open and distance education.
• Stakeholders should team up meeting the two grand challenges through open education and technology enhanced learning.
African Perspective on The Global Trends in Open, Distance and Online Learnin...icdeslides
This presentation is about trends in ODL in an African perspective. Education and learning is probably that single thing that has the greatest impact on humans and societies, in particular in a long term perspective.
Higher education is increasing more rapid than ever, and Africa is a hot spot for future HE. Africa is lagging compared with richer parts of the world, but is catching up faster than many would have believed. However, better integration between education and economic value chains has to be more in focus.
For the post 2015 education agenda Quality Open Education Resources and ODL can make dreams come through. In fact, without OER and ODL, dreams about quality education for all might end up as wishful thinking.
Not all that shines is gold, and the MOOC hype has been replaced by a good portion scepticism in particular regarding target groups, lack of student success and learning outcomes. However, the driving forces for open knowledge are so strong that we again and again will se waves of innovations riding on online learning and mobile broadband, where Africa will through time will catch up and close the digital gap.
Teachers and teachers trainers is the key to educational success for Africa, and competencies and capability to provide quality ODL will be in the core. "If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”, an old African proverb says. And ICDE is prepared to go far together with ACDE.

MOOCs is discussed as a possible enabler for a new pedagogy.

At the 2nd OER World Congress on 19 September, the idea of a network, Global Open Libraries, GOL, was presented, both at a well visited special event and at the plenary session later on the day and even on a satellite event discussing OER in non-English languages..
The presentation in the special session is this one.
You can comment on the report at icde@icde.org at the blog. Your comments can either be added directly to the blog post, or emailed to icde@icde.org by Wednesday 11 October 2017. Then the report will be finalised and the partners will decide if an initiative for GOL will be taken, and if so – the next steps.
The report asks, is this feasible:
“Based on existing quality OER repositories, educational needs, teachers and learners demands, a possible initiative intends to spark the uptake of OER and Open education in Higher Education and Upper Secondary Education, and provide the basis for a future networked global cooperation between quality OER repositories. The main outcome of a possible initiative will be a dynamic global network of OER repositories, well connected to key stakeholders and the user community.”

Open Education and Digitalized Society - Digital Learning in a Borderless World. Or:
A helicopter view on South East Asia when digitalisation is penetrating education. Could ambitious benchmarks comparing with Nordic countries be established for the 11 countries and the cooperation among them?
The era of digitalisation sets a new agenda for learning and teaching. While globalisation, technology and demography are major trends influencing all sectors of society, including higher education – ICDE observes more specific trends setting the agenda:
• Online and open goes mainstream
• OER and MOOCs fuel innovation in education
• Shift to personalised learning and assessment
• Convergence of education, cognitive psychology and neuroscience
• Lack of funding and lack of understanding of the concept of online, open and flexible education – create hurdles
• Skills and lifelong learning a new global trend, with learners in the centre, we enter the new paradigm of lifelong learning.
• Quality first
Without direction digitalisation, education can go good or bad. The message is discussed: Put the learners first, lead digital transformation – and lead transformation of education. Go open, innovative and collaborative for inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all.

International outlook on learning and digitalisationICDE These are the slides from the inspiration seminar ICDE conducted in Oslo, Norway, on April 26, 2017.
This presentation, shows how flexible learning has the capacity to transform education, labour market and society, based on the societal needs and the agreed sustainable development goals. Initiatives and networks facilitated by ICDE create a vital force in the internationalisation of the ICDE member institutions and often in collaboration with important partners as the international ICDE member associations and governmental organisations as UNESCO and Commonwealth of Learning.
More than ever a transparent, accountable and democratic global organisation as ICDE is needed for the case of the learners, the educational institutions and stakeholders working to make online, open and flexible education a part of the solution for future education.
The offerings for networking, events and initiatives for sharing good practice and new knowledge are many, made possible by the members of ICDE, like the conference organised by Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning: “Reaching the Unreached”, the two events in France starting 22 – 23 May in Nancy, hosted by UNIT at the University Lorraine, in partnership with EDEN and EADTU, with the 2017 ICDE Leadership Summit, “Leadership: when transforming education through learning analytics and adaptive learning” and continuing the 24 May in Paris, hosted by UNESCO, “Visionary Leadership for Digital Transformation for the Sustainable World We Want”, in partnership with UNESCO and the project D-Transform, the great 27 ICDE World Conference in Toronto 16-19 October, hosted by Contact North: “Teaching in a Digital Age —Re-thinking Teaching & Learning” and the International Lifelong Learning conference in February 2019, Lillehammer, Norway organised and hosted by Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences - INN University.
The Global Doctoral Consortium has developed very well with 3 times more members than anticipated, now focusing on the first Doctoral Consortium as a track at the ICDE World Conference in Toronto. The GDC also collaborate with the Global OER Graduate Network http://go-gn.net
The Global Quality Network has been established, and is focusing on possible global quality guidelines for online, open and flexible education as the first task.
The new ICDE Chairs in OER , are already very active and visible, with for example the MOOCQ initiative and both presenting at the World Learning Summit in Kristiansand.
The study “Online, Open, Flexible and Technology-Enhanced (OOFAT) Models for Education” is developing very well, led by Dominic Orr, Forschungsinstitut für Bildungs- und Sozialökonomie (FIBS) together with the OpenEducation Research Hub (OER Hub).

Open Education – Impact on Higher Education and Societyicdeslides
This is a background presentation for the participation in a panel at Open Science, 21-22 March 2017, Berlin, Germany: Open Education – Impact on Higher Education and Society.
The panel aims to explore the impact of Open Education on the various “actors” involved: teachers, learners, employers and the society.
What is ICDE about? A global player and......icdeslides
ICDE aims for being the global facilitator for inclusive, flexible, quality learning and teaching in the digital age. This presentation shows what ICDE is about and some of its networks and actions.
When aiming for reaching the unreached - Inclusion is challenged. Today inclusion is about the mindset. Include the learners. OER can include by affordable quality learning materials. Why OER matters.
An example on new action oriented policies.

HEI, private and public sector: Build partnerships and
agreements for knowledge supply, mobilising the workforce
23. Expectations
• Key stakeholders from governments, private
and public sector, educatiors to co-operate, on
the ground, to
• strengthen learning as an employability
factor
• Collaborate for social justice and for
innovation – in education and learning, in
society
25. The context
• Globalization has continued to increase, followed by strengthened
internationalization, and a greater emphasis on partnerships, in turn
giving rise to international collaboration in many formats.
Globalization and global megatrends lead to increased demand for a
workforce permanently acquiring new competencies. Increased
globalization and global competition, in combination with rapid
innovation, are increasingly challenging the workforce to adapt to
future needs. Tomorrow’s policies must create conditions to facilitate
labour mobility through individual lifelong learning. Coordination
between the labour market and education policy is crucial for
business competitiveness and future welfare. The need for
partnership between higher education and the private and public
sectors to ensure knowledge supply for the workforce becomes a
critical and central issue. This need is further enhanced by the
current financial crisis, which creates a requirement for innovative
methods to strengthen learning as an employability factor for the
future.
26. The context
• The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) has documented significant added
value from higher education for individuals and society; for
individuals in relation to employment and as a return on their
own investments; for society the net return from investments
in higher education simply represents good business. And
higher education is a key factor for economic growth. In
Europe – even during the crisis – income growth among
tertiary graduates increased in the majority of European Union
countries which record this data. (Education at a Glance:
OECD Indicators 2012).
• At the same time, the World Bank has documented that more
than 620 million young people are neither working nor
studying. Just to keep employment rates constant, the
worldwide number of jobs will have to increase by around 600
million over a 15-year period.
27. Key global trends
• 1. Access to higher education
– Worldwide growth and increasing demand for access to higher
education
– Increasing restrictions on open learning to ensure both national
standards and controlled growth
• 2. The learning workforce
– Demand and need for capacity building to provide society with a more
mobile workforce
– Continued globalization and internationalization
– Financial crisis and unemployment
• 3. Access to Information and communications technology (ICT)
– Rapid worldwide growth of ICT
– Continuing disparity of access to ICT
28. Key global trends
• 4. The use of technology in learning
– Mobile learning
– eBooks
– The rapid growth of e-learning
– Personalization
– Social and Virtual Learning
– Learning Analytic
• 5. The economics of higher education
– Changes in cost, affordability, and economic models for higher education, particularly
that based on ICT
– Diversity of education providers
• 6. Institutional developments and impact
– Proliferation of traditional educational institutions with open and distance education
offerings; notable institutions are piloting MOOCs
– Growth and impact of open and distance universities
– Demand for faculty training in Open and Distance Learning (ODL)
– Increasing competition among higher education institutions to improve their position in
rankings
29. Key global trends
• 7. Quality
– Increasing focus on accountability, quality, and performance
– Demand for benchmarks, standards and accreditation
– Accreditation, rankings and government regulations are
interrelated aspects of quality
• 8. Open Educational Resources (OER)
– Development of online repositories
– Development of OER-based institutions
• 9. The learner
– Changing learner demographics and culture, experience, and
demands
– The growth of resource-based learning
30. Key global trends
• 10. Policies and strategies
– The trends identified above, many of which demonstrate rapid and
diverse global growth, increase the pressure of demand for relevant,
clear policies, strategies and leadership at governmental and
institutional level to facilitate the further development of high quality
open, distance, flexible, blended and online education, including e-
learning.
ICDE Strategic Plan 2013 - 2016 specific objective:
1.2. ICDE together with key partners and stakeholders to facilitate policy
discussions among a selection of representatives from governments,
universities and private and public sector , on the topic of the current and
future development of open, distance, flexible and online education,
including e-learning by the end of 2015.
32. School failure
– system failure
One of five don´t complete
”Drop outs”
Or ”Push outs” (Hal Plotkin)
33. University drop-outs (or push outs?) cost 660
million Euros per year in Spain alone
Norway – 2005 - 2010
Total drop outs/push outs in higher education:
12% (Health educations)- 37 % (Management and Economy)
Only health educations have lower drop out rate than 20%
34. System failure or not?
In my nightmares: ”Why not? Drop outs are
fine. It filters for the talent pool – it filters
for the recruitment to the elite.”
Anonymous
35. Open Educational
Resources
“... are digital learning resources offered online freely and
openly to teachers, educators, students and independent
learners in order to be used, shared, combined, adapted,
and expanded in teaching, learning and research.”
(OECD 2011)
“... are teaching, learning and research materials in any
medium that reside in the public domain and have been
released under an open licence that permits access, use,
repurposing, reuse and redistribution by others with no
or limited restrictions.”
(UNESCO 2011)
36. Drivers for OER
• The benefits from Higher Education – a gold mine
• Demand for access to Higher Education
• Financial problems, costs
• Failure of the current educational system, drop
outs/push outs
• The need for innovation in HEI – innovation in
education
• Students

41. Conclusion
• We are confronted with a gigantic market failure on an
area of public interest.
• I believe we are at the beginning of a big debate about
the future learning system.
• We need a professional, policy-oriented debate, in
Europe, and throughout the world, on the
opportunities and challenges coming from a more
open and online world.
• Educational systems will be decided nationally, but the
direction will also be a global issue.
• ICDE will be a visible and eager player in this debate.
