European Schoolnet is a network of 30 European Ministries of Education dedicated to supporting schools' use of technology in learning. It aims to improve education quality in Europe by promoting the role of digital media and ICT. Its target groups include teachers, students, and school leaders. European Schoolnet activities include peer exchanges, research projects, and cooperation initiatives. The case study describes InGenious, a STEM education coordinating body co-funded by industry and the EC involving multiple stakeholders like teachers, students, and policymakers. It takes a multi-level approach using various engagement strategies like teacher training and competitions. Key success factors include flexibility, community building, and demonstrating impact.
This talk was given at a multiplier event organised by the University of Wolverhampton as part of the MOONLITE project (refugees, languages and moocs). In this presentation I share the experiences and approaches used to design one of the first MOOCs allround, and the first MOOC focused on mobile learning. The presentation looks at pedagogy, technology, community and impact of the course.
Despite requirements for constant innovation in Higher Education, the application of
knowledge management constitutes a recent research field in this sector while a wide range of e-learning
tools - like open source learning management systems (LMS) - constitute a basic part of universities
infrastructures at present. As knowledge derived from direct experiences is one of the most important
sources for innovations, this paper presents two approaches for experiential knowledge production in the
Higher Education teaching-learning processes: (1) the managerial production approach and (2) the open
production approach. In accordance with these approaches, the paper also describes how Moodle and Sakai -
two of the most widely used open source LMS - support experiential knowledge production and concludes
that: (1) these LMS don’t have first class constructs to manage experiential knowledge production related
concepts; (2) experiential knowledge related constructs can be represented through existing artifacts included
in these LMS but this approach presents many limitations to support explicit connections between these
constructs and; (3) LMS can extend current capabilities of tags or similar artifacts to represent high level
meaning structures that link content from different LMS tools.

Presentation of discussion panel during EMOOCs2016 conference on latest survey HOME project compared to other research. Several independent studies have been conducted about why institutions are investing in MOOCs and open education. During this discussion session, the results of some recent studies are presented. The data suggest significant differences between US and Europe and even between European countries. This difference will be discussed and in addition the possible implications for a (collective) European answer.

DESIGN FOR LEARNING: COMMUNITIES AND FLEXIBLE DESIGN PROCESSES
U. Sydney, CoCo Research Seminar
In this seminar, the presenter will deliver a short overview of the learning-technologies research being conducted by the Department of Infomation and Communication Technologies of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. The focus will be the results of the METIS European inservice teacher-training project, which aims at promoting the adoption of design approaches enabling educators to act as (co-)designers of sound (technology-supported) learning activities. The presenter, Associate Professor Davinia Hernández-Leo will, in particular, introduce the Integrated Learning Design Environment (ILDE), a community environment that integrates:
- co-design support for educator communities
- learning design editors following different authoring and pedagogical approaches
- interface for deployment of designs on mainstream virtual-learning environments.
ILDE has been used in a variety of community contexts, each of them applying different design processes supported by combinations of selected integrated tools.

Contextualization of Open Educational Resources in Asia and EuropeJan Pawlowski
The presentation shows current developments of OER in Europe and Asia - starting with barriers and analysis of the current status, we realized three case studies, looking at OER in Finland, Malaysia and Philippines. The results lead to 10 main recommendations to achieve successful, cross-border collaborations for learning and teaching using OER.
