"I want to talk today about two big themes that will be repeated frequently this week – the ways that colleagues are using technology, both enterprise-wide technology and social media, to enhance & maximize learning. And I’m going to touch on the ways institutions are using technology to maximize their work. We see both of these trends every day on the web, in newspapers, at conferences, and on our campuses."
Empirical Approach to Identifying Digital Learning Innovation TrendsTanya Joosten
The focus of this effort was to illustrate trends in digital learning innovation. Digital learning innovations were to be located through a scan of the postsecondary environment through various data sources in order to identify prominent innovations that have the potential to improve student outcomes in postsecondary education. Digital learning innovations were to include technologies, such as adaptive learning and open education resources, that improve access, equity, and learning. A timeframe for the collection of relevant data was established from January 1st, 2018, to September 1st, 2019. Previous DLI award analysis was included as one data source. Other data sources included industry leaders, national organizations advancing technology and learning, prominent research centers, influential research journals (peer reviewed), popular news and media outlets, funded initiatives, key institutions, vendors or products of interest, and other key publications from national organizations or efforts to see what themes and topics are relevant in the current landscape. Over a dozen data sources were reviewed. Documents, including articles, reports, web content, and more) were pulled directly from database and organizations’ sites when possible. Informal interviews were conducted with various academic leaders in the field at key organizations. Articles were summarized noting key themes and findings until themes were saturated, at which point key themes were noted but articles were not summarized. Articles were saved and compiled on a server for additional review or verification. In sum, over 400 articles were reviewed.
The document discusses the development of a "help-seeking tool" to assist healthcare professionals in networking, problem solving, and accessing expertise from more experienced peers. Researchers in the UK worked with medical institutions to design a tool for general practice nurses. This tool and other prototypes from the EU LearningLayers Project are available for customization in different contexts, such as initial teacher education. The project involves 17 institutions across 7 countries with a 4-year, 12 million euro budget to develop online tools supporting informal workplace learning.

Foreword - Premier Resource On Enhancing EducationMichael Mathews
This document contains two forewords for a book about enhancing education through open degrees and prior learning assessment. The forewords discuss how open educational resources and initiatives by governments have helped make educational resources more accessible worldwide. They argue this book compiles experts' knowledge and brings together different aspects of educational technology, models, and innovations to help reach billions through open education.
This document contains three forewords for a book about enhancing education through open degrees and prior learning assessment. The forewords discuss how open educational resources and initiatives by governments have helped make educational resources more accessible worldwide. They predict the book will help bring together various advancements in technology, pedagogy, and delivery models to benefit billions through open education.
This presentation by Michelle Reed and Billy Meinke was presented at the Open Education Global Conference on April 25, 2018, in Delft, Netherlands. Abstract: For over a century, academic librarians in the United States have provided instruction designed to help patrons effectively navigate and use the resources and services provided by the library. Today we refer to this type of learning experience in terms of “information literacy.” As digitization has shaped the ways that we access and share information, so, too, has information literacy evolved to represent a more nuanced relationship between the people who create and consume information and the systems we use to communicate in a networked world. In January 2016, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) adopted a new Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, which transitioned librarians from a skills-based approach to teaching and learning to a conceptual one. Though the language in the Framework is student-centric, as are the information literacy programs that operate out of academic libraries, we argue that the knowledge practices and dispositions represented in the document apply to educators as much as they do to the students we serve—particularly in the context of open education. With its heavy focus on copyright and licensing, outreach and education about open educational resources (OER) provide a perfect opportunity to explore how concepts of information literacy can guide our work with faculty, staff, and administrators who are new to open education or who have fallen prey to misinformation about OER. Additionally, though the term “information literacy” grew from libraries, we acknowledge that librarians do not fully own the responsibility of deepening our communities’ understanding of the information ecosystem. In this presentation, a librarian and an instructional designer discuss how information literacy concepts can inform how we support open education and how we leverage existing information literacy programs to broaden the impact of our work.

Higher Education in the Open Source EcosystemDeborah Bryant
This document discusses higher education's involvement in open source software in various ways:
- It provides examples of universities teaching open source software development and administration through formal courses, projects, and mentorship programs. This includes Oregon State University's Open Source Lab and academic programs.
- It also discusses academic research on topics related to open source communities and how some of this research translates to practices that benefit diversity and inclusion.
- Finally, it mentions additional resources for open source education including volunteer organizations like OpenHatch that help match students with open source projects and communities.
The What, Who, Why and How of Building an iCentre: Part 1Syba Academy
Part 1 of the schoollibrarymanagement.com webinar series on "The what, who, why and how of building an iCentre". Presented Wednesday, June 29, 2011 8:00 - 9:00 PM AEST.
This webinar takes participants through the design and planning phases of building an iCentre in schools. It outlines the range of programs and services provided by an iCentre (the WHAT); presents a range of configurations for an iCentre team including staffing formulas and role statements (the WHO); provides a rationale for establishing an iCentre (the WHY); and presents a blueprint for developing an iCentre (the HOW).
This webinar series assists participants in putting the iCentre concept into practice. It assumes participants already have a basic understanding of the iCentre concept (essential pre-reading is Lyn Hay’s Access commentary on the iCentre concept for those who have not). This is your opportunity to gain an insight into the practicalities of building an iCentre.

Find out how NITLE can be a resource for you in the coming year and how your institution’s involvement in the NITLE Network is making a difference for liberal education. NITLE’s executive director and staff members will share information about our 2013-2014 program agenda and introduce you to specific tools and resources that your institution can use to make the best possible strategic decisions about integrating pedagogy and technology.
The document discusses the shift from formal institutional learning environments to personal learning environments (PLEs) that recognize individual-driven lifelong learning. PLEs allow learning to occur across different contexts using various tools and take into account informal learning. They provide access to educational technologies for organizing one's own learning, including workplace and home learning. PLEs also facilitate connecting people and applications to support exploring ideas through trying things and social, concrete learning.
Federal Ideation Community of Practice (iCoP)Lucas Cioffi
The iCoP is a trans-governmental community of practice that promotes the use of ideation tools, which are web-enabled technologies that allow users to submit, review, comment on, and rate ideas. It was established in 2009 at the White House's request to improve government performance using social media. Several federal agencies have implemented ideation tools, including the Transportation Security Administration's IdeaFactory, the State Department's Sounding Board, and the Centers for Disease Control's Idea Lab. The iCoP meets monthly to discuss topics like tool selection, implementation, engagement, and metrics. Membership is open to any federal employee interested in learning about ideation tools.
Dale Fickett has over 20 years of experience in global development and social entrepreneurship. He has worked to support African micro-entrepreneurs and develop an incubator model to improve funding for startups. Currently, he is pursuing research on identifying microenterprise opportunities. His passion began through leading an Eagle Scout project in the Democratic Republic of Congo at age 13.
The document summarizes the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS•S) and Performance Indicators for Students. It outlines six main topics: Creativity and Innovation, Communication and Collaboration, Research and Information Fluency, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making, Digital Citizenship, and Technology Operations and Concepts. For each topic, it lists several performance indicators describing what students should know and be able to do. The document concludes by thanking the reader and quoting "You can take away technology from mankind but you can’t take mankind from technology."

What do the World Bank, UNESCO, the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), the Inter-American Development Bank, and numerous
other organizations and institutions around the globe have in common? They are all engaged in fascinating experiments to
take advantage of advances in digital technologies and e-learning design to provide education, training, and professional development
opportunities to people in developing countries who previously could not partake of these opportunities. One such delivery
mechanism has been the massive open online course (MOOC) as well as various MOOC-like derivatives. Another is the use of
open educational resources (OER). These efforts are already benefitting millions of people, but much potential for expansion and improvement remains.
FHSU is moving to adopt a strategic plan to leverage social media tools and collaborative learning approaches to enhance its value proposition as a 21st century university. The plan aims to engage key campus audiences, leverage social media insights, and integrate dispersed social media uses into an institutional learning commons. Early actions include workshops on emerging technologies, creating reusable learning objects, social media guides, and redesigning learning spaces to foster civic engagement online and off-campus. The goal is to transition from traditional teacher-centered models to collaborative learning that is self-paced, socially constructed, and facilitates civic participation through open content co-creation.

Portable Local Area Network Empowers Sharing of Medical Education Materials in Settings with Restricted Internet & Electricity
The document discusses two models - the TP-Link MR3020 ("Library Box") and the Raspberry Pi - for creating portable wireless networks to share digital learning materials in settings with limited electricity and internet access. Both devices cost $40-$200, are small and portable, and can be powered by USB. They have been deployed in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Liberia to allow individuals to access files through a web browser. The Raspberry Pi offers more customization but materials can be easily updated on the TP-Link via a flash drive. Initial results suggest these may enable increased sharing of educational resources
Crowdsourcing Video Translations for a Global Network for Health EducationKathleen Ludewig Omollo
The University of Michigan launched a campaign in 2013 to translate some of its open educational health videos into multiple languages to make them more accessible globally. Over 50 volunteers translated over 140 caption tracks for 31 videos, covering 12 languages. Crowdsourcing translations from volunteer translators proved to be an effective way to disseminate the materials to a wider audience at a low cost. Proper coordination of volunteers and use of translation software helped streamline the process and produce high-quality translations.

Integrating Public, Dynamic Metrics Into an Open Educational Resources PlatformKathleen Ludewig Omollo
The document presents a framework for integrating public, dynamic metrics into an open educational resources (OER) platform. Interviews with faculty, librarians, and specialists revealed that readily available metrics can strengthen relationships with content authors by demonstrating impact over time. Metrics also provide justification for the effort and costs associated with content development. The framework utilizes APIs from content hosting sites like YouTube and SlideShare to aggregate usage data and integrate metrics into customizable dashboards down to the individual resource level. This allows for detection of patterns and deeper analysis of OER usage over time.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
