Introduction to MOOCs and internationalisation (MID2017)EADTU
The document discusses using MOOCs and open education to internationalize higher education. It outlines the SCORE2020 project which aims to support regional expertise centers for developing and using MOOCs. The project will exchange expertise between partner countries like Norway, France, and the Netherlands to develop a common approach. The document then discusses how MOOCs, open educational resources, and open educational practices can provide innovative formats for degree education, continuous education, and open education on an international scale. Barriers to learning should be removed to provide students opportunities for success through open education.
1. The document discusses learning standards for educational technology application, specifically the ISTE standards released in 1998 and 2007 to provide guidelines for effective technology use in education.
2. It compares the ISTE standards which focus on creativity, communication, research, critical thinking, and digital citizenship to the International Baccalaureate's principles of investigating, creating, communicating, collaborating, organizing, and reflectivity to become responsible world citizens.
3. A table shows shifting trends in delivering educational technology from 1989 to the present, moving from technology as a specialist field taught in computer labs to being embedded across all subjects with ubiquitous access and use of technology.

This document discusses various open policies in higher education and beyond. It outlines open educational resource (OER) policies at the institutional level like the Open University's OpenLearn platform, and at the regional level like 11 US states collaborating to create openly licensed K-12 textbooks. It also discusses open access policies driving the steady growth of open access mandates. Indirect policies around areas like IT, rewards/tenure, and university rankings can also influence open practices. The document argues that open policies have the potential to create sustainable OER, establish critical mass, encourage innovation, and recognize open impacts, but require champions, evidence, funding, and addressing specific problems to be successful.
The document discusses mobile learning trends in the UK and identifies several key points. It explores who the mobile learners are, such as students at various levels, employees, those in healthcare, and those with low literacy skills. It also examines challenges like determining the best devices for learning and attracting new learners. Additionally, it promotes services from Tribal's Digital Learning Studio to help organizations implement mobile learning solutions.

The growing need for an educated workforce, changing student demographics, opportunities presented by new technologies, and increases in the cost of attending post-graduate educational institutions have led many educators, policymakers, and businesspeople to seek more affordable models of educating large numbers of students, such as open textbooks and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). An uncertain job market, expanding opportunities to interact with diverse audiences in online settings, and the potential of online networks to increase citations and impact have also led many academics to engage in open scholarship and make use of such online social networks as Twitter and Academia.edu. Common to both these developments is an increasing advocacy for and engagement with open practices in teaching, learning, and scholarship. In this talk, I will describe a number of emerging online practices and share results from my research into these practices.
1. The document discusses the battle for openness in education, with openness having won in some areas but the future direction still up for grabs.
2. It outlines the history and growth of open access, open educational resources, MOOCs, and open scholarship. While these have seen successes, issues around sustainability, commercialization, and impact remain.
3. The future of openness depends on who controls the narrative. Proponents of openness must beware of those who co-opt open principles for commercial gain or disruption rather than innovation. Ownership over the direction of openness is important for all in higher education.
Effective Strategies for Large Government OER ProjectsUna Daly

Summary:
The unanimous adoption of the 2012 Paris OER Declaration at the UNESCO World Open Educational Resources (OER) Congress heralds a profound change to how publicly funded educational resources may be openly licensed and shared in the coming years.
A small number of large-scale publicly funded OER projects are in process, many more are anticipated worldwide, and effective strategies for managing this policy shift are needed. In this session we will examine two case studies to learn which strategies are currently being used to support publicly funded OER projects, and discuss what support will be needed to ensure the success of future large OER projects as more governments adopt open policies to require publicly funded resources be openly licensed resources.
Case Study 1: The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) created the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant program to encourage community colleges to create open education and vocational programs for unemployed workers. It represents one effort to introduce open policies into publicly funded projects by requiring that all materials created or modified with grant / public funds carry a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license to guarantee the resources can be reused, revised, remixed and redistributed.
Recognizing the need for grantees to fully understand these requirements, a private foundation is providing support for an OPEN Consortium (http://open4us.org) to provide consulting and direct technical assistance on open licensing, leveraging existing OER, universal design, accessibility, meta-data tagging, learning analytics, and developing open courseware. The TAConnecT program is another support mechanism that matches grantees with organizations that have expertise in many areas including faculty development of OER, measuring learning outcomes, developmental adult education, career workforce education, and open eLearning platforms.
Case Study 2: The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) is an intergovernmental organisation created by Commonwealth Heads of Government to encourage the development and sharing of open learning / distance education knowledge, resources and technologies. COL has a decade-long history of helping developing nations improve access to quality education and training and the Open Schooling Initiative in Sub-Saharan Africa represents a multi-country project to use OER and technology to implement universal access to secondary school education.
Using professional development workshops, educators and policymakers have received training on development and operation of open schools. Topics have included OER development, instructional design, radio broadcasting, learner suppor
This document summarizes a presentation on re-conceptualizing measures of success for massive open online courses (MOOCs). It discusses the original vision of MOOCs to provide accessible education for all, as well as traditional and proposed new metrics for measuring MOOC success. These include metrics that capture student demand (e.g. demographics, engagement) and MOOC supply (e.g. number offered, languages, partnerships). It proposes that future research examine the role of engagement and goal setting in MOOC learning. The presentation concludes that intrinsic motivation for knowledge, rather than certificates, is the key driver for MOOCs and their evolution.

"Bridging the gap: OER for increasing access, openness and performance"
Presentation at University of Mumbai on 10th March,2016 during Open Education Week 2016, Organized by Department of Education, Department of Computer Science & Department of Information Technology
Newcastle Libraries have been piloting information literacy sessions for sixth form students using live mobile polling to engage students. Mobile polling allows students to anonymously share their opinions and knowledge using their mobile devices or online. This encourages participation, creativity, and provides instant feedback. The libraries adapted British Library resources and introduced Poll Everywhere, which displays responses in real-time as word clouds, charts or text for discussion. Mobile polling reduces embarrassment and includes students without the latest technology. It also effectively evaluates students' learning from the sessions.

Show & TEL Ethics & Technology-Enhanced Learning Robert Farrow
This presentation reviews the state of the art with respect to the use of artificial intelligence in education, reflecting on the ethical aspects and implications with particular reference to distance education.
This document discusses the author's personal journey through open educational practices (OEP) over the past few decades. It begins by exploring definitions of OEP, from a primary focus on open educational resources to broader conceptualizations inclusive of open content, tools, and learning processes. The author then outlines their experiences with OEP at the Open University, from early open education models to modern developments like MOOCs, open research, open access publishing, and open pedagogy. These experiences are analyzed through frameworks like a continuum of openness and a citation network mapping the areas of OEP. Finally, the author argues that OEP can act as an innovation driver, promote social justice, and provides a flexible toolkit to open education and learning
1. The document discusses openness as an alternative model to disruption in higher education. It argues that open practice is not about disrupting higher education, but providing an alternative cooperative model.
2. It outlines Martin Weller's personal journey with open education, tracing the evolution of open universities, online learning, open educational resources, open educational practices, MOOCs, and more.
3. Open education is presented as a model that emphasizes cooperation, focuses on problems, is learner-centric, supports educators, and promotes social justice - providing a better fit for education than the disruptive narrative.
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and the role of libraries and librarians in promoting OER. It defines OER and outlines their history from early initiatives like MIT OpenCourseware. It describes how OER allow knowledge to be shared and reused freely through open licensing. The document recommends that governments, institutions, teachers support OER through policies, infrastructure, capacity building, and research. It explains how librarians can evaluate, manage, curate, and create OER materials to make them discoverable and help promote their use.
This document discusses the evolution of technology-enabled learning through 5 generations: from correspondence courses to personalized ubiquitous learning. It describes how technology is being implemented in higher education, from substitution to transformation of traditional teaching models. While many trends point to networked lifelong learning, the document notes the challenges faced by higher education institutions in Ethiopia due to its technology-challenged environment and need for improved national and regional connectivity infrastructure.
Yves Punie gave a keynote address at the EADTU 2014 conference about open education trends to 2030. He discussed how open education has evolved from open universities and distance learning to incorporate open educational resources, MOOCs, and new approaches to teaching and learning. Punie summarized research from the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies on drivers of open education, including the rise of online and blended learning. Their foresight work involved developing visions of open education in 2030 around tensions between guided vs self-guided learning. Further research will examine open education from the supply and demand side through surveys, case studies, and analyzing impacts on labor markets and learning outcomes.

MOOCs for Opening Up Education
The role of Quality and Openness
Used at Masterclass MESI - 24 September 2014
Some slides used at ICDE-MESI Conference – panel 27 September 2014
The ECO project aimed to demonstrate the potential of open educational resources and MOOCs to widen access to education through an innovative approach. It involved 22 partners across 6 European countries and created a unified portal and federated platform for 16 MOOC pilots and one MOOC on creating MOOCs. The project emphasized social and connectivist pedagogies, inclusion, accessibility, and continuous improvement over its three years. Evaluation found high overall user satisfaction, that most learners completed over half the courses, and positive feedback on resources, support, and interactions.
Accessibility and MOOCs: an adaptive model for developing services for people...Francisco Iniesto
This document summarizes Francisco Iniesto's doctoral research on developing accessible MOOCs for people with special needs. It discusses the benefits of ICT and eLearning for accessibility, reviews literature on assessing MOOC accessibility and existing frameworks, and presents data on accessibility from various open universities. The document proposes a model for personalized MOOC recommendations based on accessibility analyses and preferences. It also summarizes case studies evaluating the holistic accessibility of past and current MOOCs based on automatic and manual tools.
The ECO project aims to demonstrate the potential of open educational resources and MOOCs through a European partnership. The project will create an open learning platform to provide online courses and resources and help teachers create their own materials. It involves 22 partners across 6 countries and seeks to improve access to education through innovative technologies. The project will design pedagogical models, develop technical platforms, run pilot MOOCs and courses, and evaluate results to continuously improve the learning experience for users.
MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course. It refers to a type of online course that is designed to be accessible to a large number of participants over the internet. MOOCs are typically offered by universities, educational institutions, or online learning platforms. They provide open access to educational resources, such as video lectures, readings, quizzes, and discussion forums, allowing learners from around the world to engage in self-paced or structured learning on a variety of subjects. MOOCs are often free or available at a significantly lower cost compared to traditional classroom-based courses, making education more accessible to a wider audience.
Make the difference - at the UNESCO IITE Conference 2014icdeslides
Education and learning is probably that single phenomenon that has the greatest impact on humans and societies, in particular in a long-term perspective (OECD 2014).
Grand challenge number one is to breach the trend preventing developing countries, in particular South of Sahara, taking part in the global knowledge revolution. Everyone aspiring for higher education should have the right to affordable access. This is grand challenge number two. And it cannot be met without open education and technology enhanced learning.
Three messages:
• Senior management in education needs to innovate from within to open up education.
• Governments must take firm decision on holistic policies for open and distance education.
• Stakeholders should team up meeting the two grand challenges through open education and technology enhanced learning.
Global online learning is steadily increasing worldwide. MOOCs initially took the world by storm but have since opened up opportunities for massive innovation in education. While MOOCs are initially open in terms of free enrollment, most course content is not openly licensed. Governments are implementing strategies to promote digital learning and the application of information technologies. Online and campus-based learning are converging into blended models. Technological advances will continue to remove barriers to access while new understandings of learning and the brain will shape new pedagogical approaches. We are still in the early stages of these developments.
The European experience with MOOCs has been growing while interest in the US has declined slightly. While the US initially led the MOOC movement, Europe has increasingly developed its own MOOC platforms and initiatives through organizations like EADTU and OpenupEd. Surveys of MOOC adoption show increasing involvement by European institutions, in contrast to decreasing adoption rates in some US surveys. However, the surveys have biases depending on the types of institutions sampled. Overall, European institutions see MOOCs as a way to increase visibility and provide flexible learning opportunities, while US institutions focus more on student recruitment. Diversity is seen as a strength of the decentralized European approach to MOOCs.
THE MASSIVE OPEN ONLINE COURSE (MOOC) IS A NEW WAY OF DISTNCE LEARNING AT THE...Dr. Anjaiah Mothukuri
This document provides an overview of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) globally and within India. It discusses the history and development of MOOCs, including early MOOC platforms in the US starting in 2011. It then describes various MOOC providers around the world, such as Coursera, edX, and Udacity. For India specifically, it outlines the national SWAYAM initiative launched in 2016 which hosts MOOCs across various academic levels. SWAYAM aims to provide high-quality online education to learners across India.
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. They provide interactive forums and communities for students, professors, and TAs. MOOCs have developed out of distance education and allow anyone with internet access to take online courses for free. They provide opportunities for learning, teaching creativity, and connecting a global community of scholars. However, MOOCs also present challenges around student interaction, assessment, and accommodating different learning styles.

The European experience with MOOCs has been growing but differs from the US in several ways. While the US initially dominated the MOOC movement in 2011, European universities have increasingly developed their own MOOC initiatives and platforms in recent years. Surveys show that the percentage of European institutions involved with MOOCs has risen from 58% in 2013 to over 70% in 2014. However, biases exist in how surveys define and measure MOOC involvement between institutions and countries.

Open learning in higher education an institutional approachBrian Murphy
The vaue of open learning can be a conflict within higher education instituions. This presentation is the result of an instituional review and research on the open education movement in higher education, given greater impetus by the advent of the MOOC. The journey of exploring MOOCs resulted, ironically, in an enhanced apreciation of OERs and revised strategic thinking of their impact for teaching and research, especially when viewed as a vehicle of co-creation between staff and students. Once value is attached, the principle becimes embedded and accepted rarher than an additional burden of academic endeavour; and the door is opened to the business case for systems, investment and development as well as academic development, support, reward and recognition.
