This document provides an overview of a presentation on foresight and choices for 21st century learning. It discusses four parts: context and principles, design for student engagement and participation, learning and teaching in an open world, and conclusions and future challenges. The presentation aims to inspire attendees to try one new thing and further inspire their learners and colleagues. It promotes principles of low cost and sustainability in design. Examples of challenges addressed include how to get started with online teaching and exploring different learning technologies. The document also discusses the Carpe Diem approach to course design and redesign in 2 days through storyboarding and prototyping.

Presentation on e-teaching given at Blackboard World 2014 conference July 2014. Based on doctoral research investigating the influences on attitudes and behaviours of staff who teach and support learning towards virtual learning environments, it offers seven top tips for managing online learning based on the Teaching and Learning in a Digital Age (TELEDA) short postgraduate courses at the University of Lincoln.
One of the hottest topics in education is blended learning – a disruptive innovation that is changing both teaching and learning. Don’t miss one of its foremost experts, Michael Horn, Executive Director of Education at the Innosight Institute, for a conversation about the present and future of blended learning.
Attend this web seminar to learn the benefits of the blended learning disruptive model, get up-to-date on current trends in blended learning technologies, and learn the key elements to consider when evaluating blended learning models, technology and solutions.
Sponsored by SJSU's ECampus, Katherine D. Harris (Professor, English) presents a workshop for all faculty to dive into or upgrade their use of digital methods, skills, and tools in their courses. For definitions within this slide deck, please cite:

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

participation (Carpe Diem)
• Part 3: Learning and teaching in an open world
• Part 4: Conclusions and future challenges
4. One learning outcome

By the end of the session, you will be…
…inspired to try out one new thing, and
perhaps further inspire your learners and your
colleagues.
5. Principles

• Low cost, high value
• Sustainable: design once, deliver many
times
• Forward-looking: alignment, assessment
for learning, rapid feedback

8. Sample problems…
8
• I want to teach online but don’t know
where to start
• Everyone uses NILE so I want to explore it
• My limited skills (pedagogical, technical)
+ little time = poor learner experience
• I want a safe repository for my course
content
• We need a safe environment to host our
discussions
• My course is not interactive enough
9. UK context
Technology needs to enhance student choice and
meet or exceed learners’ expectations
Institutions need to take a strategic approach to
realign structures and processes in order to embed
online learning
Investment is needed for the development and
exploitation of open educational resources to
enhance efficiency and quality

10. US context
31% of all HE students take at least one online
course
67% of academic leaders rate LOs in online
education as the same or superior to those in f2f
education
Online learning is a critical part of the long-term
strategies of 65% of HEIs

11. At Northampton
A strategic commitment to scaling up:
• Online and blended provision
• CPD and accreditation: formal staff development
opportunities for all
• Openness (Open Northampton)

12. The L&T Plan
• Intellectual capital
• Student experience
• Enhancement and innovation in L&T

14. Needs
How can I develop a course that meets students’ needs?
I want to be a better teacher
I need to develop my skills for online and distance learning – Help!
I need to improve student retention. How can I help my students?
Why waste time on writing feedback? Students don’t read it!
My teaching is in a rut – What new ideas could make it more exciting?
I need to get professional recognition as a HE Teacher – what do I do?
I would like to gain academic credit for this training – is this possible?

A five-minute task!
With a neighbour, think of a course or instance within a course
(as a participant or tutor), where online learning…
a. really worked
b. was a disaster
Think of the reasons in each case.

21. To be clear…
21
• The resource is not the course.
• PDFs and PPTs won’t teach themselves.
27. Effective course design…
• Is team-based
• Focuses on the different types of interaction
• Is not obsessed with content
• Offers low cost but high value
• Requires digital literacy skills
• Is innovative, participative and fun

31. Storyboard
Create a scaffold
Generate a blueprint
Select and adapt OERs

32. Carpe Diem addresses…
• ‘My use of e-learning is bad.’
• ‘Help me redesign this.’
• ‘The discussion forums are never used.’
• ‘What is a wiki?’
• ‘Can I run synchronous sessions? How?’
• ‘What is Web 2.0 and how can my learners benefit
from it?’
• ‘Existing resources? What resources? Are they
readily available? For free? Really?’
Focus: designing for flexible,
student-centred learning
33. Carpe Diem deliverables
• Blueprint for the course
• Storyboard
• Running e-tivities (peer-reviewed and reality-
checked)
• Model for further development
• Action plan

the course. It is the course.

58. From the VLE and OERs to MOOCs
58
• Massive Open Online Courses
and free
67. Implications for the future of HE
• Less physical space
+ global competition for diverse and
demanding students
+ innovation
= critical need to change the way we go about
our business
68. Shift to…
• Appropriate ‘blends’
• Openness
• Flexibility
• Mobility
Knowledge and learning as open, mobile,
connected and scalable
68
69. Your VLE (Moodle, Blackboard, etc)…
69
• An enabler, not a barrier
• Should meet your needs and those of
your course, your learners, your team
• Not a content dump
• Not an add-on to your course: it is your
course
70. OERs…
70
• Content is not king
• We can’t afford to ignore OERs:
o As users - OERs to enhance your courses
o As contributors: don’t agonise over the
family silver
71. MOOCs…
71
• Register on one
• Consider contributing to one
• Put yourself and your university on the
global MOOC map
