Flexible Delivery of English & Mathematics with OpenLearn: Impact of Bringing...Robert Farrow
Paper presented at Open Education Global 2019. Until 2012 there was a nascent OER movement developing the UK, supported by government funding and agencies like JISC. This led to a network of OER projects at many higher education providers. With the withdrawal of funding under subsequent governments the OER movement in the UK became restricted to individual efforts alongside hubs of activity (OER World Map, 2019; JISC, 2013). While there is still little governmental support for OER - open access is generally a more consistent focus - there is an increasing interest at policy level in flexible and digital forms of delivery (Orr et al., 2018).
This presentation reports on two projects. Bringing Learning to Life is funded by the UK Department for Education under the Flexible Learning Fund. Flexible Essential Skills is funded by The Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW). Both projects involve making foundational English and Mathematics courses available to a wide range of learners through the OpenLearn repository and LMS (Law & Perryman, 2017). The content is made available as OER for use by a range of learners, including formal students in further education colleges (face-to-face, blended) and non-formal learning scenarios. Both projects are led by The Open University (UK) who provide programme management, content development, platform delivery and evaluation.
Evaluation methodologies are being harmonised in the interests of establishing a basis for comparison between the two datasets. Evaluation results based on original data will be presented. These will include a detailed description of the learners targeted and their needs; perceptions of the key challenges faced; attitudes towards technology and digital skills in adult learners; an exploration of learner motivation, strategy and outcomes; and an examination of the perceptions and views of staff. The impact evaluations combine survey and interview data with OpenLearn analytics and case studies for individual colleges.
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) emerged from the open education movement. The first MOOC in 2011 had over 160,000 students from around the world. Major MOOC platforms like Coursera, edX, and Udacity now offer hundreds of free online courses from top universities. MOOCs allow open registration, publicly shared course materials, and flexible completion, but do not provide individualized instruction or academic credit standardly. They provide both opportunities and challenges for higher education.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

Collaborative learning process is proposed with some peer-to-peer activities and also with reflexions
and exchanges on the forum. Also on the main feature proposed by the ECO project (but only on
OpenMOOC platform) is the social network inside the platform and also the “group” functionality.
57. The main sMOOC ECO Features:
collaboration
Elearning, Communication and Open-data:

All the features have been reinforced by the presence with sMOOC or participants material in social media,
websites and collaborative applications. (Youtube, Google drive, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Scoop It,
Padlet…). Pedagogical team is juggling with all these media in order to stimulate exchanges. These tools
supported the collaboration between participants. They also allowed the expansion of the sMOOC
dissemination.

Activities descriptions and main achievements for each activity :
Continuous improvements of technological design
• All the HUBs report a significant improvement of the technological design and
functionalities that enable them to support better the ECO pedagogical
requirements.
• For second and third iterations, it was noticed that platforms have made a lot
of improvements and enabled the HUBS to propose activities and resources
they wanted to reinforce both learning and participants’ motivation.
• WP4 worked closely with WP3 to ensure the quality of functionalities and the
answering to HUBs request or issues with platforms. Two shared and
collaborative documents for technical issues or improvements have been
created.

Task 4.2: Pilot Service execution from Hub 1 to Hub 10
Continuous improvement of quality control
In order to answer to the EU suggestions on more homogeneous quality across sMOOCs and
HUBs, a working team was established and worked on:
• A peer-to-peer sMOOC assessment was organised. It used the checklist to provide
suggestions between sMOOC teams (not evaluation). Each sMOOC team had to assess two
other sMOOCs and proposed constructive feedback. The follow up was done by WP4 leaders
and everybody reported satisfaction during the Manchester meeting. Evaluators in particular
reported unexpected results in gathering ideas and aggregating new practices.
• A general oversight was supervised in association with WP1. A control table based on the
pedagogical ECO requirements was devised and used by WP1 and WP4 leaders to give
advices to some sMOOCs teams that needed some orientations. This transversal oversight
made it possible to transfer good practices from one sMOOC to another. Very little resistance
was found as most teams welcomed advice.
• The sMOOC “step by step” acted as a regulator of quality because it was designed calling on
all the teams and their best practices. It also augmented interculturality and intercreativity
across HUBs and countries.

Overall conclusions (Y2)
• A valuable inter-cultural experience
• A learning experience about learning for all course contributors
• The co-construction of tasks and the collaboration across sMOOCs teams have been very
beneficial to all HUBs and the iterative process has been validated.
• The coordination between WP4 and all the other WPs has created a truly European spirit in
ECO.
• This positive cohesion and collaboration will be very useful for year 3.
• The different documents and process produced this year will be turned into template and
guidelines that will benefit the participants who will be creating new sMOOCs.
• Dissemination strategies have been improved, helped by WP5, and the participant
universities.
