The document discusses Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine's (LSTM) decision to implement Salesforce for its student information system (SIS). LSTM was founded in 1898 and became an independent higher education institution. It is considering an off-the-shelf SIS like Salesforce to replace its current system and integrate various student and program data into a single source of truth. The implementation would be rolled out over multiple years starting with student applications in 2014 and finishing with PhD students in 2016. Eric Healing, LSTM's IT Director, is presenting on why they are implementing a new SIS.

Adapting to Adapt - Jan Ball, WEA

Learning Pool Ltd

The WEA is the UK's largest voluntary sector provider of adult education, offering 9,700 part-time courses to 70,000 students each year. In response to having a geographically dispersed staff and tutors, the WEA is developing its Adapt training program to provide online and blended learning solutions. Adapt focuses on communication, collaboration, interactivity, digital inclusion, and equal partnerships between tutors and students. Storyboarding templates and pedagogical modules are being created to support tutors in delivering effective online instruction through Adapt, which offers benefits like adapting to different screen sizes and providing a shared development area for collaborative content creation.

An evolution of Vscene in action - John Wilson

Erasmus+ UK National Agency

The Jisc Vscene videoconferencing service will be evolving over the coming year with help from our new strategic partner, Ajenta. With this new partnership, there will be improved focus on enhancing the teaching and learning experience. In this workshop you can discover how, through VScene, students learn through virtual classrooms, e-learning and MOOCS as well as enhanced interoperability with desktop applications and mobile devices. Teaching and learning has been enhanced for a community of 1200 physicists, academics, research staff and postgraduate students, whilst significantly reducing their annual teaching and collaboration overheads. How? By effective use of VScene.

OER and MOOCs in the Netherlands: State of Affairs

This document summarizes the state of open educational resources (OER) and massive open online courses (MOOCs) in the Netherlands. It provides context on the Dutch higher education system and outlines the goals of the Ministry of Education to promote openness by 2025. The document reports results from a 2012 survey and interviews on OER publishing, reuse, and vision/policy among universities and universities of applied sciences. It also compares these results to a later 2015 OER Research Hub study. While finding many open activities, it notes a lack of coherent vision/policy and limitations of the data like small sample sizes and self-reporting bias.

Manchester Metropolitan University at the Digital Apprenticeship Community Event

Manchester Metropolitan University uses various digital tools to deliver its degree apprenticeship programs: 1. It uses a virtual learning environment, ePortfolio, and apprenticeship learner management system to deliver educational content and manage students. 2. It collects data from these systems and others like Moodle and attendance records to create dashboards that provide oversight of key metrics to staff like progression, satisfaction, and attendance. 3. Its Onefile system maps apprenticeship standards and skills assessments and is used to track attendance, off-the-job training, and initial skills scans.

Finding solutions to scaling up online learning: a collaborative approach

Heather Price

The document discusses a project aimed at scaling up online learning. It is focusing on accredited online courses in the UK and working with the academic community. The project is using a co-design approach to identify barriers, gather ideas from experts, and pursue promising solutions.

OERs in the UK: Learning from Digital Futures in Teacher Education project

akgruszczynska

The document summarizes a project called "OERs in the UK: Learning from Digital Futures in Teacher Education" which explored issues around open educational resources (OERs) in higher education in the UK. The project involved teachers, students, and teacher educators sharing practices around digital literacy and developing guidance on OERs. Outputs from the project were shared through an open textbook and website. The core focus was on exploring understandings of digital literacy through reflection, examining its place in the professional development of teachers, and challenging misconceptions around sharing resources and copyright.

Moodleinschools

Pete Potter

Moodle is a free and open-source learning management system that can be used to create online courses and provides pedagogically sound tools. It allows for blended learning by combining traditional classroom methods with computer-based activities. When used for a school, Moodle can facilitate communication with the community, showcase student achievements, and act as a central hub for the school's mobile learning environment. It also provides staff and students collaborative spaces and access to adaptive resources. Schools can choose to host Moodle themselves which requires specialized technical skills and funding, or use a hosted version which handles automatic updates and provides support.

Bdva - iSpaces

This document summarizes a webinar about BDVA i-Spaces, which are data innovation spaces that foster data-driven innovation. The webinar discussed what i-Spaces are, their value in collaborating and connecting to other initiatives, and the process for obtaining an i-Space label. Experiences from several labelled i-Spaces were also shared. The goal of i-Spaces is to establish a network across Europe for testing, piloting and exploiting big data technologies and applications through technical and business support services. Obtaining the i-Space label recognizes quality and impacts spaces that connect existing initiatives and promote data-driven innovation.

BDVA i Spaces - What they are, how to become one, value and collaborations

Big Data Value Association

Data Innovation Spaces are identified by BDVA as a key instrument to foster the Data-Driven Innovation in Europe. They provide innovation and experimentation environments where companies in their respective ecosystems could have their data-driven and AI-related products and solutions piloted, tested, and exploited before going to the market. BDVA launches every year a process to identify and recognize relevant initiatives in Europe that meet specific quality criteria in infrastructures, services, projects, and sectors of application, ecosystem and sustainability (BDVA i-Spaces call for labels). During this session, we will present the concept of BDVA i-Spaces (as it is reflected in the BDVA SRIA), the process and steps of i-Spaces labeling, the value proposition of being an i-Space and activities and examples of collaboration. The session will also include examples of first-hand experience from three recognized i-Spaces: ITAINNOVA (DIH Aragon), UPM, and Demokritos NCSR (aheed DIH).

Willem van Valkenburg

The document discusses the long term impact of MOOCs at Delft University of Technology. In the short term, MOOCs led to increased enrollment in online courses and programs. However, in the long run MOOCs are transforming education by moving from standalone courses to full programs and credits, expanding from national to global learners, transitioning from initial to continuous education, blending online and on-campus learning, and progressing toward more open education. MOOCs are helping to educate learners worldwide and improve the quality of education access and delivery.

Digital Fluency Experiences pcf9 Mallinson

Brenda Mallinson

This document summarizes the evaluation of a Digital Fluency Course implemented at the Open University of Tanzania from 2014 to 2017. The course consisted of 5 modules that covered digital fundamentals, working with open educational resources, learning design and development, academic integrity, and managing digital resources. The evaluation found that the course increased availability of learning materials, reduced costs by removing copyright restrictions, and built capacity through communities of practice. Challenges included low participation rates, requests to keep modules open-ended, and developer challenges around pedagogical approaches and time constraints. Lessons learned included the need for clearer requirements, longer duration, and acknowledging facilitation as an institutional responsibility.
