This document summarizes the findings of a survey evaluating the development and use of virtual learning environments (VLEs) in a sample of educational settings in the UK. The key findings were that VLEs were still at an early stage of development, were most effective where staff used technology to enhance classroom learning, and had the strongest implementation where senior managers provided resources and support. Barriers to greater use included a lack of training for staff, concerns over the time needed to develop online content, and limited remote access to VLEs by students. The report calls for continued development and quality reviews of VLEs, as well as guidance and shared resources to support their implementation.
The document summarizes the process of pilot experiences using learner-generated content (LGC) at a university. It describes gathering data through pilot projects, analyzing the data, and evaluating the results. The results indicate that LGC was a motivating experience for both teachers and students when the focus was on quality of content, format, and process. However, the time commitment must be considered. Overall, LGC shows potential but quality frameworks and guidance for implementation are needed to fully realize its benefits.

AFEL-REC: A Recommender System for Providing Learning Resource Recommendation...Dominik Kowald
In this paper, we present preliminary results of AFEL-REC, a recommender system for social learning environments. AFEL-REC is build upon a scalable software architecture to provide recommendations of learning resources in near real-time. Furthermore, AFEL-REC can cope with any kind of data that is present in social learning environments such as resource metadata, user interactions or social tags. We provide a preliminary evaluation of three recommendation use cases implemented in AFEL-REC and we find that utilizing social data in form of tags is helpful for not only improving recommendation accuracy but also coverage. This paper should be valuable for both researchers and practitioners interested in providing resource recommendations in social learning environments.
The document describes REfine, a gamified platform for participatory requirements engineering. It involves crowdsourcing requirements from stakeholders through gamification elements. A case study tested REfine on a software project, gathering 21 needs, 37 comments, and 130 votes from 19 stakeholders. Results found that gamification improved the user experience and engagement over traditional requirements methods, though it was difficult to attract a large crowd. Future work aims to conduct larger studies and assess the long-term impact of gamification incentives.
Next Steps for Excellence in the Quality of e-LearningJon Rosewell
The development of e-learning has progressed to a stage where it is becoming part of mainstream provision in higher education. Therefore the issue of assessing and sustaining the quality of e-learning must now come to the fore. Quality assessment in higher education is well-established in relation to learning and teaching generally, but what methods can be used to establish quality in the domain of e-learning?
The E-xcellence methodology for assessing quality in e-learning (EADTU 2009) is securing recognition by European and international learning organisations. It was designed to be applied to the design and delivery of e-learning in both distance learning and blended learning contexts. It supports a range of uses, from accreditation by external agencies to process improvement through internal review.
The methodology presents principles of good practice in six domains of e-learning: strategic management; curriculum design; course design; course delivery; student support; and staff support. A total of 33 benchmark statements cover these domains, and are supported by a handbook for practitioners and guidance for assessors. The handbook includes principles for quality e-learning and exemplars of good practice. Amongst the tools is an online ‘QuickScan’ self-evaluation questionnaire based on the E-xcellence benchmarks which is highly valued as a focus for collaborative review of e-learning programmes.
The e-learning landscape has changed since the E-xcellence methodology was first developed. In particular, the use of Open Education Resources (OECD 2007) and the application of social networking tools (Mason & Rennie 2008) were not explicitly considered in the original benchmarks. Accordingly, the E-xcellence NEXT project was instigated to produce and evaluate a revision of the benchmark criteria, associated handbook and exemplars. This paper describes the project process and initial recommendations.
A consultation exercise was carried out among E-xcellence participants. Feedback from this was brought to participatory workshops at a European Seminar on QA in e-learning in June 2011. Following this exercise, the benchmark statements were revised and are now available in beta version.
The project resources (Quickscan and manual) are being used for a series of self-evaluation and assessment seminars held at European higher education institutions. Feedback from these assessment seminars will be used to finalise materials for publication late in 2012. At that point the E-xcellence Next project will offer to the higher education community a set of self-evaluation and quality assessment tools which are fully updated to encompass social networking, Open Educational Resources and other recent developments in e-learning.
Creative Commons Open Business Models, Case Studies, & FindingsPaul_Stacey
Presentation given at Open Education Conference 2015 in Vancouver British Columbia, November 19, 2015.
Description: In March of 2015, with support from the Hewlett Foundation, Creative Commons launched an open business model initiative aimed squarely at showing how Creative Commons licenses can, and are, used by business, nonprofits and governments. This initiative emerged out of a need to show how organizations and creators can produce OER and other Creative Commons licensed works in a way that generates social good in sustainable and financially sound ways.
Creative Commons open business model initiative is being done in an interactive community-based way using an open business model canvas and an online community for sharing and discussion. Creative Commons directly collaborates with organizations using a process that supports both autonomous and collaborative design, development of open business model designs, and ensuing analysis of the results.
In this panel presentation, organizations who worked with Creative Commons to generate an open business model will share their experience. They will describe their motivations, explain how they engaged in the Creative Commons open business model process, outline what they learned, and reveal new opportunities and directions they took as a result.
Creative Commons will describe the tools and processes it used and how those tools and processes evolved and changed through community interaction. Latest versions of tools and process will be compared to starting ones and made available to all participants. Analysis insights from both panel organizations and Creative Commons will be shared.
Creative Commons will outline open business models lessons learned, the types and categories of open business models that emerged, and summarize key findings. Next steps, opportunities for participation and future plans will be described.
Attendees of this session will gain:
- an understanding of the open business model initiative and process
- hands on access to the open business model canvas and other tools they can use to develop their own open business model
- knowledge and insights into how open business models work
- strategies and tactics they can incorporate into their own open business model initiative
- the opportunity to get involved in the initiative in an open and collaborative way
