Learning Innovation in Public Employment Servicesbarbarak
The EmployID project is a major EU-funded four-year project which aims to support staff in Public Employment Services (PES) to develop appropriate competences that address the need for integration and activation of job seekers in fast changing labour markets. It builds upon career adaptability in practice, including career management skills and quality as well as evidence-based frameworks, for enhanced organisational learning. It also supports the learning process of PES practitioners and managers in their professional identity development by supporting the efficient use of technologies to provide advanced coaching, reflection, networking and learning support services. The project focuses on scalable and cost effective technological developments that empower individuals and organisations to engage in transformative learning practices, assisting their capability to adapt to rapidly changing pressures and demands.
This presentation describes the concept of facilitation in terms of different facilitation support. It also reports from the first insights into contextual exploration and derives important contextual challenges for the implementation of learning innovations in Public Employment Services.

The presentation discusses quality considerations and success factors of MOOCs - a critical review of current discussions and some potentials for Asian-European collaboration
The implementation of the Australian Curriculum has been an opportunity for reform within the educational landscape. One of the areas of reform has been in teacher pedagogy, particularly around being able to cater to each and every student within our learning environments.
This workshop is a hands-on practical workshop that explores with the teachers what are the habits, structures and routines that will creating a learning environment that builds independent learners. We will discuss the factors that hinder, support and boost independence such that students can develop the capacity to be learning partners rather than receivers.

8. Why ?
• One manageable subject – tasters and one
20 M‐credit unit
• Marketing, profile, upskilling, attracting new
kinds of learners, research
• Small, flexible and autonomous – change more
manageable
• Geography and creative ethos make us
progressive
• Commitment to new modes of learning for new
types of students
9. Lessons learned institutionally
• Cultural as much as organisational shift –
knowledge gaps
• Ideal team (Project Manager, IT Partners, The
Enforcer, subject specialists)
• Sustainability
• Site needs to be monitored post‐launch ‐ organic
• We are on our own – no subject precedents – chance
to be pedagogically creative
10.
11.
12. Lessons learned: IPR
• The approach we took: Non‐commercial, Share Alike, No
Derivatives
– Tutors are respected & active practitioners in their fields
– Protecting their intellectual property = protecting their non‐academic
livelihood
– Supports tutors’ ability to negotiate favourable terms for future
contracts
• Was it the right one?
• Will it be right for future project?
• Huge knowledge gap in this area
14. Other lessons learnt
• Content creators – training needed
• Finding the right open source software to deliver what we need, with no
ongoing cost
• Hosting and bandwidth
• Dealing with creative subjects – no straight right and wrong – no
precedents – generally lo tech approach –steep learning curve
• Tight project management – milestones and deadlines
15. Creating a process
• Process of adapting campus‐delivered course units into online formats.
• Identity pre‐existing unit and guidance materials.
• Ask the question “what will encourage active OE learning?”
• Agree OERs’ file formats and train Performance tutors in how to create
them.
• Identify open source and/or free software or browser‐based apps
• Write the lessons, assignments and supporting information (How this unit
works, etc).
• Upload to platform and edit.
• Outline the peer review and quality control processes (alpha & beta testing)
• Evaluation by stakeholders
16. Internal Impact
• New skills and roles for academics
• Expertise developed for one projects is transferable to other disciplines ‐
flexible and scalable digital learning materials: portable products
• Transferring course dynamics into OE format (community and
interactivity)
• Greater understanding of learner – and potential learner – behaviour
• Above leads to understanding of cost effective delivery
• Phase 2 – OER development established as part of core job
• OER materials can become part of core delivery – institutional motivation
for doing more
17. External Impact
• Raised profile of UCF – as innovator/cost effective
• Have a product that is flexible and scalable
• Community learning model ‐ Research potential – do we need tutors for
day to day delivery at all?
• New relationships – Loughborough, JISC, subject centres, leaders in the
field, other OER developers
18. Where Next?
• Hopefully Phase 2
• Adapt to new platforms – mobile app
• Marketing, distribution and dissemination – shout alot
• Develop sustainable IPR policy
• Evaluation and research – users, cost‐benefit of learning approach, new
types of learners, ROI
• Permanent academic‐led, in‐house development team – in tune with
institutional imperatives and strategy
