This presentation is about trends in ODL in an African perspective. Education and learning is probably that single thing that has the greatest impact on humans and societies, in particular in a long term perspective.
Higher education is increasing more rapid than ever, and Africa is a hot spot for future HE. Africa is lagging compared with richer parts of the world, but is catching up faster than many would have believed. However, better integration between education and economic value chains has to be more in focus.
For the post 2015 education agenda Quality Open Education Resources and ODL can make dreams come through. In fact, without OER and ODL, dreams about quality education for all might end up as wishful thinking.
Not all that shines is gold, and the MOOC hype has been replaced by a good portion scepticism in particular regarding target groups, lack of student success and learning outcomes. However, the driving forces for open knowledge are so strong that we again and again will se waves of innovations riding on online learning and mobile broadband, where Africa will through time will catch up and close the digital gap.

Institutional strategies in the digital learning ageicdeslides
What issues and possible pathways for higher education institutions to consider when moving faster into the digital age? Do you want to be a forerunner in opening up education or don´t you care? Increased cooperation or more competition? Can you pay your way to quality education? MOOCing your way or will that lead you to the parking slot? Could you let your faculty lead? To change on the ground is different from changing the slides. 5 executives took their positions at EDUCA 2013.
When discussion technology to reach the unreach, the focus shall be supporting the learners. What happens now, happens in the shift to a new paradigm of Lifelong Learning. While India as a young has great opportunities, one have to think on the changes taking place within the perspective of the huge innovations and technological changes that (will) take place.
The discussion on the trends observed, gives input to the message suggested to be:
Learners first. Learners are the future. They are here. Now. For a quality learning experience. Quality as priority 1.

This presentation was given at the 5th World Forum for Lifelong Learning in Madrid 27 September 2017, in a panel/roundtable on lifelong learning and distance education, chaired by Alejandro Tiana Ferrer, rector for UNED and host for the Forum.
After having listened to my co-presenters and in the plenary before our roundtable plus material from my own presentation, I suggested the following input to the conclusions from the Forum:
1. We, believers in Lifelong Learning should mobilise for inclusive integrated lifelong learning in a digitalised world
2. We should suggest the direction to be, within the framework of Education 2030 SDG 4, inclusion and education as a public good, social justice as a point of departure.
3. Collaboration among all stakeholder, and this is also the lifeblood for having success for Education 2030.

At the 2nd OER World Congress on 19 September, the idea of a network, Global Open Libraries, GOL, was presented, both at a well visited special event and at the plenary session later on the day and even on a satellite event discussing OER in non-English languages..
The presentation in the special session is this one.
You can comment on the report at icde@icde.org at the blog. Your comments can either be added directly to the blog post, or emailed to icde@icde.org by Wednesday 11 October 2017. Then the report will be finalised and the partners will decide if an initiative for GOL will be taken, and if so – the next steps.
The report asks, is this feasible:
“Based on existing quality OER repositories, educational needs, teachers and learners demands, a possible initiative intends to spark the uptake of OER and Open education in Higher Education and Upper Secondary Education, and provide the basis for a future networked global cooperation between quality OER repositories. The main outcome of a possible initiative will be a dynamic global network of OER repositories, well connected to key stakeholders and the user community.”
It is not simple to predict, and in particulate predict the future (and hype is always there). After having outlined state of play in ICT enabled pedagogy, using the US as an example, OER is presented as an opportunity for innovation in education - and a learning process facilitating innovation is presented. What is next? Exiting opportunities are knocking on our door: VR, AR, AI and more to come - take care, the learner is in the core.

A helicopter view on South East Asia when digitalisation is penetrating education. Could ambitious benchmarks comparing with Nordic countries be established for the 11 countries and the cooperation among them?
The era of digitalisation sets a new agenda for learning and teaching. While globalisation, technology and demography are major trends influencing all sectors of society, including higher education – ICDE observes more specific trends setting the agenda:
• Online and open goes mainstream
• OER and MOOCs fuel innovation in education
• Shift to personalised learning and assessment
• Convergence of education, cognitive psychology and neuroscience
• Lack of funding and lack of understanding of the concept of online, open and flexible education – create hurdles
• Skills and lifelong learning a new global trend, with learners in the centre, we enter the new paradigm of lifelong learning.
• Quality first
Without direction digitalisation, education can go good or bad. The message is discussed: Put the learners first, lead digital transformation – and lead transformation of education. Go open, innovative and collaborative for inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all.
Flexible learning: transforming education, labour market and societyicdeslides
International outlook on learning and digitalisationICDE These are the slides from the inspiration seminar ICDE conducted in Oslo, Norway, on April 26, 2017.
This presentation, shows how flexible learning has the capacity to transform education, labour market and society, based on the societal needs and the agreed sustainable development goals. Initiatives and networks facilitated by ICDE create a vital force in the internationalisation of the ICDE member institutions and often in collaboration with important partners as the international ICDE member associations and governmental organisations as UNESCO and Commonwealth of Learning.
More than ever a transparent, accountable and democratic global organisation as ICDE is needed for the case of the learners, the educational institutions and stakeholders working to make online, open and flexible education a part of the solution for future education.
The offerings for networking, events and initiatives for sharing good practice and new knowledge are many, made possible by the members of ICDE, like the conference organised by Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning: “Reaching the Unreached”, the two events in France starting 22 – 23 May in Nancy, hosted by UNIT at the University Lorraine, in partnership with EDEN and EADTU, with the 2017 ICDE Leadership Summit, “Leadership: when transforming education through learning analytics and adaptive learning” and continuing the 24 May in Paris, hosted by UNESCO, “Visionary Leadership for Digital Transformation for the Sustainable World We Want”, in partnership with UNESCO and the project D-Transform, the great 27 ICDE World Conference in Toronto 16-19 October, hosted by Contact North: “Teaching in a Digital Age —Re-thinking Teaching & Learning” and the International Lifelong Learning conference in February 2019, Lillehammer, Norway organised and hosted by Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences - INN University.
The Global Doctoral Consortium has developed very well with 3 times more members than anticipated, now focusing on the first Doctoral Consortium as a track at the ICDE World Conference in Toronto. The GDC also collaborate with the Global OER Graduate Network http://go-gn.net
The Global Quality Network has been established, and is focusing on possible global quality guidelines for online, open and flexible education as the first task.
The new ICDE Chairs in OER , are already very active and visible, with for example the MOOCQ initiative and both presenting at the World Learning Summit in Kristiansand.
The study “Online, Open, Flexible and Technology-Enhanced (OOFAT) Models for Education” is developing very well, led by Dominic Orr, Forschungsinstitut für Bildungs- und Sozialökonomie (FIBS) together with the OpenEducation Research Hub (OER Hub).

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

20. • ”LORD knows there’s a lot of bad news in the world today to
get you down, but there is one big thing happening that
leaves me incredibly hopeful about the future, and that is the
budding revolution in global online higher education. Nothing
has more potential to lift more people out of poverty — by
providing them an affordable education to get a job or
improve in the job they have. Nothing has more potential to
unlock a billion more brains to solve the world’s biggest
problems.”

21. 8 Things You Should Know
About MOOCs
By Jonah Newman and Soo Oh, June 13, 2014 (Harvard and MIT data)
http://chronicle.com/article/8-Things-You-Should-Know-About/146901/
• 1. The overwhelming majority of MOOC students are male
• 2. MOOCs attract students who already have college
degrees
• 3. The median age of MOOC participants is 24
• 4. One-third of MOOC participants are from North America
• 5. Nearly half of registrants never engage with any of the
content
• 6. Europeans view the most course content
• 7. Students with a doctorate viewed more course material
• 8. Serial students are the most engaged

Mind to MOOCs
Overview, reflections and brainstorming in whitening water
To be reported to the ICDE Standing Conference of Presidents meeting and
Policy Forum
23. Excerpts from ICDE Mind to MOOCs report
A few of the issues and recommendations
Equity.
• Consider this initiative as an opportunity to rethink our role as universities and take
up MOOCs. .
• Integrate open MOOCs in our respective institutions
• National, regional and transnational cooperation is a great opportunity in developing
MOOC and MOOC-alike concepts.
Diversity.
• Undertake contextualized strategies when implementing MOOCs
• Be aware of cultural and language aspects → anglo-centric core, colonialism
• OER and OCW as the basis for MOOC will ease contextual, cultural and language
adaptation
Innovation and Quality.
• Improve and innovate on pedagogical aspects: methodologies, content formats,
assessment.
• Provide learning analytics as a tool for improving the courses. Connect the learning
process and research for new knowledge and improvements.
• Promote research about MOOCs.
• Keep moving towards quality. Beyond quantity of MOOCs and users, the focus on
quality is essential for sustainability.

28. From Elite to Universal
Participation
Elite
0-15%
Mass
16-50%
Universal
Over 50%
Functions of higher
education
Shaping mind and character of
ruling class; preparation for
elite roles
Transmission of skills;
preparation for broader
range of technical elite roles
Adaptation of "whole
population" to rapid social
and technological change
Curriculum and
forms of
instruction
Highly structured in terms of
academic conceptions of
knowledge
Modular, flexible and semi-structured
sequence of
courses
Boundaries and sequences
break down; distinctions
between learning and life
break down
Institutional
characteristics
Homogeneous with high and
common standards; small
residential communities; clear
and impermeable boundaries
Comprehensive with more
diverse standards; "cities of
intellect" – mixed residential
& commuting; boundaries
fuzzy and permeable.
Great diversity with no
common model; aggregates
of people enrolled
but...many rarely on campus;
boundaries weak or non-existent.
Research and
knowledge transfer
Pursuit of understanding of
fundamental principles
focused on "pure disciplines"
and arising from curiosity,
with no (direct or immediate)
commercial benefits.
Pursuit of understanding of
principles in order to solve
practical problems of the
modern world, rather than
to acquire knowledge for
knowledge’s sake.
Research is democratised,
co-produced with and
responsive to wider society,
with an emphasis on impact
and benefit.

30. The BIG picture
• Three streams work in parallel:
– Online becomes mature – and Internet/mobile:
freedom from distance, mobile broadband:
freedom from location
– New methodologies, content and pedagogy – new
opportunities for student supportive teaching
– New knowledge about the brain and learning, new
knowledge in neurosciences

43. THE STATE OF HIGHER EDUCATION:
Selected key findings and rec.
• Findings
• The public and individuals benefit
from higher education, HE, in
financial and non financial ways.
– HE generates positive returns to the
public in general, as well as to the
people who obtain degrees.
• HE without a degree does not boost
earnings.
– Although there are some benefits to
HEparticipation, even if no degree is
earned, drop-outs do not usually enjoy
the same financial returns that degree
holders can expect.

60. MOOC in an international perspective:
New global agenda for innovation
in higher education
• 1) Governments contribute to a comprehensive framework that promotes open
online education in line with UNESCO 's values and helps to establish incentives
for education in dialogue with key stakeholders in the field, primarily higher
education institutions, where the specific goals must be set. A clear policy for
OER based on the UNESCO declaration must be part of this framework.
• 2) Leadership in transition to more open and distance higher education must be
supported, facilitated and expertise built.
• 3) Incentives and support for teachers retraining, upskilling and improvement
of working conditions for more open and online education.
• 4) Framework and methodologies to put the learner in the centre.
• 5) Cooperation across institutional boundaries and possibly borders, on content
and platforms for more open and distance education, including MOOC.
• 6) Interoperability between different solutions.
• 7) Common global outlook, statistics and understanding of fundamental
concepts.
• 8) Specific goals and plans for research and innovation firmly rooted in the
stakeholder institutions and communities.
