These are my slides from a pre-conference workshop I co-ran with John Sandars from the University of Sheffield at AMEE 2014 in Milan, Italy. The workshop title was 'How to create personalised learning opportunities in the information age: Essential skills for the 21st century teacher'. John gave an overview of personalised learning to kick things off and looked at some relevant learning theories.
I went on to give an overview of how I've used technology to support and personalise my learning. Following some group work I went on to look at some current trends around personalised learning and consider some of the implications.
The key to supporting students to create personalised learning is for both the teacher and the learner to understand how technology can support this and John covered this in the final section of the workshop.

This paper presents how the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland (HES-SO) builds its blended learning strategy. Divided into two phases, the first as top down, from board of education to professors, and the second as a bottom-up approach, from students to board of education, the HES-SO e-learning strategy intends to include digital native students’ expectations, needs and requests to implement tools, instruments and new learning approaches. To illustrate the strategy, this paper presents the result of a survey carried out during May-June 2013 and depicts the new student who enrolls into higher education institutions.

AECT 2012 -- Sampling Trends in Social Presence ResearchPatrick Lowenthal
Research on online learning continues to grow. However, too many studies--including some of our own--focus too much on convenient samples rather than investigating online learning in a variety of contexts. In this presentation, we present the results of our investigation into sampling trends in an effort to illustrate how the sampling decisions made by researchers of online learning can be limiting what we “know” about online learning.

We Can and We Should: libraries' role in open educationSarah Cohen
We can and we should: the libraries' role in open education
Libraries around the country, and the world, are increasingly devoting time and resources to open education. But why? In what way are libraries part of this movement and how does it serve our missions and services? This presentation will describe the value that libraries’ engagement in this space can offer to our institutions, our students, and our profession; and, to outline possible ways forward for libraries that are interested in committing their limited resources to this transformative effort.

Savings are nice, but learning is nicer: Libraries linking open textbooks wi...Sarah Cohen
With Marilyn Billings, UMASS Amherst.
This presentation will make the case for how open textbooks and OER can foster collaboration between instruction librarians, scholarly communication librarians, and faculty in order to advance access to course content, improve student learning, and continue the crusade for saving students money on course content.
The Open Textbook Network: libraries working together to advance open textbooksSarah Cohen
Over the last three years, the Open Textbook Library, now hosting upwards of 175 complete open textbook titles, has built these titles’ credibility and increased faculty exposure to open textbooks by incentivizing textbook reviews by faculty from institutions across the country. Libraries have been at the core of our outreach and are our most integral partners in reaching faculty and building capacity on campuses for open textbooks. At the invitation of our partner libraries, we’ve visited dozens of schools to seed and support their open education programs. As a result, our partner institutions’ data shows that over 40% of their faculty attendees to our workshops adopt an open textbook. This small pilot group of faculty has saved students over $410,000 in textbook costs in less than three years.
This presentation will introduce attendees to the Open Textbook Network - a consortium of institutions working to help faculty overcome barriers to adoption of open textbooks, increase institutional capacity to support faculty adoption and use of open textbooks, and collaboratively develop new understandings and best practices of open textbook adoption and use. Attendees will learn more about what’s to come for the Open Textbook Library, our partners, our data, and why open textbooks are a sustainable avenue towards initiating and sustaining open education programming.
For Presenation at ACRL, Friday, March 13, 2009: The Champlain College Library asked students from our Electronic Game Design Program and the Emergent Media Center to create a game to complement our Information Literacy (IL) program. Little did we know that this collaboration would lead us to question and re-envision what we mean by information literacy. Through the library-student collaboration, it became clear to the Library that words like authority, credibility, reliability, and currency were being used superficially. Clearly, our information literacy efforts needed to focus more on which factors were needed rather than prescribed. In a more abstract environment, like a game, the focus shifts from filling in the right answer to seeking and using the best information in a non-traditional context, as a demonstration of the game will show. Champlain’s IL program now encourages students to recognize and apply information literacy across multiple contexts. By identifying, discussing, and analyzing the information they use every day, students articulate their expectations and goals for the information they use. Those expectations and goals influence their information seeking in all situations, thereby bringing information literacy into students’ lives, not just their assignments. Game Design students’ reactions and understanding of information literacy have shaped the pedagogical approach to information literacy on our campus. Our information literacy program capitalizes and expands on students’ prepossessed knowledge and asks them to be cognizant of these skills in all situations. In doing so, we have an information literacy program that we think will make a difference in students’ lives.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
