OERs and MOOCs – the Romanian experience paper, authors Radu Vasiu, Diana Andone, presented at International Conference on Web & Open Access to Learning, 24-27 November 2014, Dubai, UEA.
Using Open Educational Resources (OER) provides opportunities for collaboration both in the classroom and beyond. Started in 2008 and gathering momentum over the past two years, now an online phenomenon, MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) reunite different perspectives over a globalized online learning. The paper analyses the use of OER and MOOCs in different study cases in Romanian universities. Several OER initiatives resulted from the over 1000 academia involved in the DidaTec lifelong learning and training for higher education teachers in the technical sciences and engineering field as a training course for university professors in 12 universities, within the aim of improving the use of ICT in higher education. Four universities from Romania started a Romanian MOOC environment, the UniCampus, which provides free access to valuable education in Romanian language, presented by well-known professors. The evaluation and quality assurance challenges of the Unicampus are mainly due to the restrictive educational setting in Romania. Two study cases on blending MOOCs in traditional higher education courses at undergraduate and Master level are also analysed from the impact on students’ motivation. Integrating MOOCs in blended learning empower students with new abilities and requires a new and open teacher model.

Building up a Digital Education Eco-system teh Politehnica University Experience
by Dr. Andrei Ternauciuc, Dr. Diana Andone
Distance education and online learning history at the Politehnica University of Timisoara was initiated more than two decades ago, with a vision on opening up traditional Romanian higher education. And more than half of this time was invested in Moodle's challenging orbit and its development. Launching the Virtual Campus for Digital Students - ViCaDiS platform in 2007, as a result of our research, continuing with the highly successful Virtual Campus of the Politehnica University of Timisoara (CVUPT) platform, and getting to our latest Moodle-based endeavour - the Open Virtual Mobility Learning Hub, we grew alongside Moodle's ever-helpful community. Thanks to its open status, we were able to mould the world's leading learning environment into the tool most of our students know and (mostly) love. The road has not always been easy, but thanks to the well-meaning people behind the plugins and the forum posts, we were able to accomplish our learning process goals of honing a complex and complete instrument for online learning. We also learned to fend for ourselves by adapting or even designing from the ground up the functionalities we greatly required, always for the benefit of our students. Our actions have always been towards introducing, supporting and advocating the open education principles in our work, research and development. In the last months, due to the pandemic time and the complete move to online education, we performed a major scalability of our learning environments into what it is now the Politehnica University of Timisoara Digital Eco-system. This scalability and increase will be presented at the Global MoodleMoot 2020. https://moodle.com/events/global-online/

Integrating MOOCs in Traditional Higher Education, by Dr. Diana Andone
Dr. Andrei Ternauciuc, Vlad Mihaescu, Prof.dr. Radu Vasiu
Politehnica University of Timisoara, Romania
This paper presents concepts and experiences on integrating MOOCS into traditional higher education in Romania. Three study cases on integrating MOOCs in courses at undergraduate and Master level present and discuss the opportunities in different pedagogical concepts as flipped classroom. These activities require the acquisition of new skills by students and teachers. Advantages and limitations on using this educational model from concepts to management and technology indicate the challenges that lay ahead of educators who are willing to include MOOCs in their everyday teaching activities.
Open Education Models for Digital Skills in Higher EducationDiana Andone

In order to better integrate OERs and MOOCs in traditional higher education on a large scale and maybe to use MOOCs as a method to offer new training opportunities to the business world, universities need to adopt clear policies on the accreditation of MOOCs and OERs. The three models proposed for the integration of MOOCs and OERs need to be included in university policies. The lessons learned until now show that a strategic approach, involving policies and quality validation are important but that clear guidelines and support also need to be given to professors and students, for universities to be more influential in the digital world.
Today's students will learn independently and digitally throughout their lives. They will therefore need to develop a robust set of Open Life Long Learning Student skills. When they graduate, they will need to be ready to identify, access, learn, analyse, apply and practice new knowledge using different media, information channels, and communication tools to enhance their skills and develop their careers. But does traditional higher education prepare them for this? Do we use models, methods and tools for learning and knowledge acquisition that will develop their skills as creative, independent, confident learners? Are they equipped for learning in a classroom-less society throughout their lives?

DisCo 2013: Danyliuk and Paschenko - Virtual Mobility of University Teaching...8th DisCo conference 2013
Globalization through the mediation of information and communication technologies influences greatly higher education (appearing transnational education, great amount of alternative providers of higher education and runaway staff mobility in virtual space). Virtual mobility attracts attention of politicians and experts in the field of education (“The Bologna Process and the European Higher Education Area” – Salamanca Convention, 2001, includes an idea of joint European approach to virtual mobility and transnational education; “Mobility for Better Learning” – Mobility strategy 2020 for the European Higher Education Area, 2011) and scientists (National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine project “International Education on the Basis of Flexible Centers of Distance Technologies and Computer-Tele-Communicational Networks”). Problem of mobility is one of the most disputable among higher education researchers in Europe. Development of virtual academic mobility transforms modern education into a social institution which could provide different educational services to humans for their lifelong learning. Modern situation demands attention to distance education development through creation of specialized informationaleducational courses and areas of e-learning, development of e-libraries and databases, support of “network lecturers” and e-courses developers. It should stimulate university staff media-educational training they could project educational environment using modern information technologies. Our task was to investigate Ukrainian academicians’ experience and e-competences necessary for participation in virtual mobility processes (sample – 710). The instruments of measurement and diagnostics were a specially constructed questionnaire and a method of self-evaluation of ecompetences necessary for effective participation in virtual academic mobility.

De la educația în campus la cea online, webinar #impreunaonlineDiana Andone
Situația actuală de criză a accelerat trecerea la utilizarea integrată a uneltelor online în educație, la tranziția de la educația tradițională la cea online.
Având în vedere această schimbare bruscă, facultățile, profesorii, studenții trebuie să adopte tehnologii și tehnici noi. Adaptarea la munca și predarea online, în special pentru cei care au predat întotdeauna într-o clasă tradițională a însemnat o regrupare rapidă și pregătirea pentru o perioadă mai lungă de „distanțare socială” educațională.
De unde începem? Cum gestionăm procesul? Ce putem să învățăm din experiențele noastre?
Sunt întrebări la care acest webinar își propune să vă ajute să găsiți răspunsuri, sub sloganul #impreunaonline.

Creating Virtual Reality in a Business and Technology Educational Context, presentation by Diana Andone and Mark Frydenberg, at The 4th International AR and VR Conference, 21 - 22 June 2018, Manchester, UK.
Virtual reality applications have enabled students to experience the world through visually immersive experiences in business and educational contexts. This paper shares the results of a collaborative project (TalkTech) in which students from universities in the United States and Romania work together to study uses for virtual reality in a business context, and then create their own VR scenes for a selected business or industry. In doing so, students follow a learning scenario in which they explore the capabilities of virtual reality in both business and technology educational contexts.

Ehnacing Creativity and Opeining Up Learning Through Virtual MobilitiesDiana Andone
Paper presented at EDEN 2015 International Conference in Budapest 14-17 June 2016
The concept of virtual mobility can be defined as a set of ICT supported activities that realise or facilitate international, collaborative experiences in a context of teaching and/or learning it. Since 2008, the authors have offered TalkTech, an online collaboration enabling students from their universities to research technology trends, share their experiences, and create multimedia objects to present their findings (Frydenberg & Andone, 2010). As members of international teams, they must produce a viable digital media product created working with international partners located on another continent. Throughout the six-week project they must select appropriate digital tools to support with their communication and collaboration efforts, manage time zones and technologies, and track their progress. The purpose of this collaborative project is to create a controlled work environment which models the global enterprise, where the use of web-based collaboration and communication tools are commonplace. The analysis in this paper will show how this project supports Wheeler's characteristics of digital literacy (Wheeler, 2012).

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
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.
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”.

„We
are
taking
what
we
are
learning
and
the
technologies
we
are
developing
in
the
large
and
applying
them
in
the
small
to
create
a
blended
model
of
educaEon
to
really
reinvent
and
reimagine
what
we
do
in
the
classroom.”
„.
We
really
have
to
completely
reimagine
educaEon,
micromanaging
it.
Even
the
infrastructure
has
to
change.
Everything
has
to
change.
We
need
to
go
from
lectures
on
the
blackboard
to
online
exercises,
online
videos.
We
have
to
go
to
interac<ve
virtual
laboratories
and

We
have
to
go
to
completely

and

Everything

has
