In 2019 ACODE ran a survey to understand where Australasian HE Institutions were up-to in relation to establishing micro-credentials. At that point less than a quarter had even a policy in place. Since then the effort towards micro- credentialing has increased. The 2020 ACODE survey reveals that, if not already well-underway, institutions are developing or seriously considering micro- credentialing strategies. A number of interesting trends emerged that this presentation will explore, such as, several universities are working on ways to
integrate existing short course systems into award course systems. Others are planning to offer micro-credentials to businesses and government in a commercial capacity. It was noted that professional practice degrees are a new space being explored to tap into industry partnerships. There is also consideration of co-delivery with VET providers. In all this, many indicated that they needed to rethink their operating structures to best service micro-credentials in their various permutations.

This document discusses learning analytics and its potential to benefit higher education. It notes that feedback loops between students and instructors are often missing or weak. Learning analytics uses data from learning environments and student information systems to provide insights. Case studies show learning analytics can increase student retention and educational attainment. However, few institutions have fully adopted learning analytics. Challenges include a lack of data-informed decision making culture and ensuring privacy and ethical use of student data. For learning analytics to advance, institutions need multidisciplinary teams, an analytics vision and culture, and to embrace the complexity of educational systems.
The document discusses learning analytics and its potential to improve education. It outlines several priority areas for European education, including open and digital learning, teacher support, and developing lifelong skills. Learning analytics can help achieve these priorities by measuring and analyzing student data to better understand learning and inform improvements. The document proposes a framework for European countries to strategically develop learning analytics through research, infrastructure, skills training, and stakeholder engagement to enhance education policy and practice.
This document discusses strategies for improving student engagement at community colleges. It notes that student engagement is critical for student success, retention and completion. Research shows that colleges that implement high-impact engagement strategies see overall improvements in these areas. The document then outlines various barriers to student engagement like financial stress and lack of interaction. It proposes strategies to minimize these barriers, such as using active learning methods over passive ones. Specific techniques discussed include creating an online learning community, using social media for learning activities, and emphasizing online teamwork and group work. Indicators of engagement include academic challenge, deep learning approaches, and connected learning.
The document discusses the development of a personal learning environment (PLE) and social hub concept. It was developed for 700+ teachers and 40,000 students in the Caribbean Netherlands to support lifelong learning. The PLE is meant to allow learners to direct their own learning across institutions through tools that allow connection with others, management of resources, and integration of formal and informal learning activities. An effective PLE employs the four C's of collect, communicate, create, and collaborate. The social hub concept aims to integrate stakeholders, bridge internal and external communication, support existing communication channels, allow personalized and targeted communication, and facilitate teacher-guided learning with analytics. Demo interfaces of the social hub prototype are presented.
This document discusses online education quality assurance and benchmarking. It provides background on the presenter, Professor Michael Sankey, and the organizations he represents, including Griffith University in Australia and the Australasian Council on Open, Distance and eLearning (ACODE). It outlines different levels of technology-enabled learning and the importance of quality frameworks and standards for online education. It introduces a benchmarking toolkit from the Commonwealth of Learning to help institutions evaluate and improve their technology-enabled learning practices by comparing them to good practices and other institutions. Benchmarking is presented as an important quality assurance method that can identify areas for improvement and facilitate collaboration.
Beyond the blend: practical approaches to designing fully online learningJisc
A presentation from Connect More 2020 by Kate Lindsay, head of digital education, University College of Estate Management.
The University College of Estate Management has been delivering remote teaching and learning for over a century. Their current programme of digital transformation puts their students learning experience at it heart with a focus on flexibility and embedding active online pedagogies. Based on experience and evidence from practice, this presentation will outline the changes and methods we have put in place to design online education, along with a set of resources to share with the sector.
The popular media tells us that we live in an age of disengagement. 21st century professors are told they need to design curriculum to support student success and create an engaging classroom whether it is face-to-face, online, or in a blended learning environment. Creating engaging learning environments with technology will be essential to embrace 21st century learners and their ever evolving learning styles. Information Technology is dedicated to this philosophy and embraces varying technologies and learning concepts with other institutions and with our own faculty to generate innovation with technology and learning engagement in tandem. Information Technology invites the Stevens community to explore how educators can use some of the tools such as apps, clickers, open education resources, mobile learning, collaborative learning platforms from Google Hangouts to Massive Open Online Courses, and embrace the engagement strategies of social media
This document summarizes a graduation project on chemical looping combustion (CLC) carried out by eight students under the supervision of two professors. The project involved building a experimental setup to test CLC using different fuels, diameters of fuel, and insulation methods. Experiments were conducted and results like temperature and exhaust emissions over time were recorded. Metal powder was also later tested as the oxygen carrier to potentially further reduce emissions. The best results were obtained with coal of 5cm diameter, CLC insulation, preheating, and a 1HP blower.
The document summarizes key aspects of Earth's atmosphere in three layers:
1) It describes the five principal layers - troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere - and discusses characteristics of each like temperature and composition.
2) It explains atmospheric phenomena like air masses, fronts, humidity, wind patterns, and how solar radiation and the greenhouse effect impact weather and climate.
3) It introduces common meteorological tools like thermometers, psychrometers, and barometers that are used to measure important variables like temperature, pressure, and humidity.

The document discusses effective practice with e-learning. It describes the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) which supports UK post-16 education through information technology. JISC launched an e-Learning Programme to promote standards for effective e-learning through collaboration. The guide aims to help practitioners understand how to design effective e-learning and build it into their practice by exploring approaches to learning and case studies of e-learning in different contexts.
This document summarizes a guide on effective e-learning practices published by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). It discusses how e-learning can enhance teaching and learning when implemented appropriately. The guide aims to help educators in post-16 education reflect on how e-learning could benefit learners by providing case studies of institutions that have successfully incorporated e-learning. It seeks to establish best practices for embedding e-learning in a pedagogically sound way and link theory to practice across different education sectors.
The document discusses the objectives and activities of the Working Group on Distance Education and Open Learning (WGDEOL). It notes the rapid increase in student enrollment in Africa and the corresponding shortage of teachers. WGDEOL aims to help address this issue through coordinating open and distance learning initiatives across the continent to enhance access, equity and quality of teacher training. It outlines a multi-phase plan to develop open online courses for teacher professional development, train master teachers, and establish an online forum for ongoing collaboration.
Education technology is a systematic process aimed at developing solutions to problems in teaching and learning to help teachers select strategies and media to ensure students achieve learning objectives. It illustrates how teachers can develop more effective curriculums through applied classroom-based research over many years. The essence of education technology is modifying the role of education to benefit students, with technology as an environment where students learn and technology serving to advance education. When content and learning objectives are equivalent, there is no significant difference between traditional and technology-based teaching methods. The core aim of education technology is the cost-effective achievement of measurable learning objectives to help students succeed in a globalized world with limited resources.

1) Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials that are freely available online for anyone to use and adapt. OER can help increase access to education and reduce costs.
2) OER should be openly licensed and in open formats to maximize their reuse and adaptation. Using open source software can also help make OER more openly accessible and editable.
3) OER have the potential to transform education by improving access to learning resources, facilitating collaboration between educators, and bridging formal and informal learning. However, guidance and support are still needed for many learners and educators.

Developing Generic Tools for Use in Flexible Learning: a Preliminary Progress...leungps
This document provides a preliminary progress report on developing generic tools to support flexible learning. It discusses moving from traditional didactic teaching to constructivist and active learning models where teachers facilitate and students take an active role. The project aims to assist university teachers in creating high quality flexible learning experiences for students by providing reusable resources, tools, and templates that leverage information and communication technologies. It will evaluate whether the designs support student learning and experiences at different levels, and encourage lifelong learning skills through a flexible approach that meets diverse student needs.
1. Open Educational Resources (OER) refer to digitized materials that are freely available online for use and reuse for teaching, learning, and research. OER can help make education more accessible and affordable.
2. OER allow educators to reuse, remix, revise, and redistribute educational content. They provide opportunities for collaboration between educators and learners. OER can benefit individuals by providing free learning materials, as well as educators by allowing them to create new materials efficiently.
3. For educational institutions, OER can help widen access to education, lower costs, and facilitate collaboration. They also provide opportunities for governments to showcase their education systems and develop culturally relevant resources. Overall, OER aim to
Educational technology is the study and practice of using technology to improve learning and performance. Assessments of student achievement when using educational technology should be appropriate to the learning outcomes promoted by the specific technologies used. There are seven key factors for successful technology implementation in schools: effective teacher training; aligning technology use to curriculum standards; individualized feedback; incorporating technology into daily lessons; encouraging student collaboration; using project-based and real-world simulations; and support from teachers, administrators, and parents. Research shows that combining technology with traditional instruction can increase student learning compared to traditional instruction alone.
