Higher education and the digital revolutionMarie Tessier
Distance learning–—that is, providing education to students who are separated by distance and in which the pedagogical material is planned and prepared by educational institutions–—is a topic of regular interest in the popular and business press. In particular, MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), which are open-access online courses that allow for unlimited participation, as well as SPOCs (Small Private Online
Courses), are said to have revolutionized universities and the corporate education landscape. In this article we provide a nuanced analysis of the phenomenon of online distance learning. We first provide an overview of its historical evolution, and subsequently define and classify key concepts. We further discuss in detail the optimal target group in terms of participating students and teaching professors and propose corresponding
frameworks for driving intrinsic student motivation and for choosing a successful online teacher. We also outline the benefits that institutions can achieve by offering online distance learning. Finally, we speak about the specific connection between online distance learning and social media by focusing on the difference between MOOCs based on traditional lecture formats (xMOOCs) and connectivist cMOOCs.

The InnoTeach project empowers the innovation mind-set in the European Union by way of establishing learning environments in schools which fertilize the grounds for young people to apply innovation principles in problem solving and at the same time learn about entrepreneurship concepts.
ODS addresses various challenges that face the eLearning environment in the European context. The interface has been designed with students, teachers, parents and policy makers in mind. ODS will fulfill three principal objectives. Firstly, it will empower stakeholders through a single, integrated access point for eLearning resources from dispersed educational repositories. Secondly, it engages stakeholders in the production of meaningful educational activities by using a social-network style multilingual portal, offering eLearning resources as well as services for the production of educational activities. Thirdly, it will assess the impact of the new educational activities, which could serve as a prototype to be adopted by stakeholders in school education.

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.

13. The most practical idea No.1 (one
that could be easily implemented):
I could open the page in Facebook and begin to
invite the representatives of parties for talks. I
could inform all my followers and ask them to
inform all their followers and so on. Almost
everybody belongs, at least, to one of the
parties: teachers, students and their parents,
employers or HR-managers.
I hope, we could initiate discussion of the issues
from different perspectives.
14. My favorite idea No.73 (one idea that I am excited
about for whatever reason... I don’t have to justify
why)
Everyone (both teachers and students) at the school
teach and everyone learns, the older students teach
the younger ones.
Usually, teachers do not want to learn and students
have no possibilities to teach. But I have seen some
examples, when people in the school turned out to
learn together and one example, when older
students successfully taught younger ones.
I am sure that it is possible to implement such a
school in life.
15. The most disruptive idea No. 10 (one that
would make a huge impact, regardless of
how feasible or affordable it is)
If I had lots of money: I would suggest to
reconstruct the whole system of education and
training in the world - it is to be continuous,
without barriers between different stages
(schools, Colleges, Universities, corporate
education) – it will be the Ocean of Education.
17. I have a dream: to remove all barriers between educational
institutions, to get the Ocean of Education.
This Ocean is surrounded by seas and beaches, where any
person can be delivered by the bullet train (300 000 kilometers per
second). On the beach one can enjoy of Edutainment and have
fun of Internet-surfing.
Everyone can go to the ocean on a yacht, alone or with friends,
gathering them into the team. You can go on one of sailers of the
MOOCs.
Having reached the opposite shore, you can see the mountain
chain, of which flow rivers of Sciences: Mathematics, Physics…
To climb on this river, you have all the time to go against the flow,
and when the river will not passable, you have to scramble.
Advancing to the top will be rewarded by the Nobel prize.
