Jisc’s research into students’ experiences and expectations of technology began in 2006 with the Learners’ Experiences of e-Learning programme. This became a reference study for the sector and helped change the way institutions understand students’ experiences with technology. Studies in partnership with the British Library, and work carried out by Jisc’s recent ‘Developing Digital Literacies' programme, have furthered our understanding of students' digital practices and needs. Now, through Jisc’s Co-Design programme, the Digital Student project has brought us up to date with how students' expectations are changing and what institutions are doing to keep up with them.
This workshop will offer delegates an opportunity to engage with the findings and recommendations from the Digital Student study and to consider what impact these could have in their own institutional context. A large part of the session will be taken up with a scenario planning activity in which delegates explore different outcomes depending on whether or not institutions rise to the digital challenge. There will be an opportunity to share effective approaches and to inform the next phase of activities being planned by Jisc to support the Digital Student Experience into the future.

Bruggen, geen barrières: flexibel onderwijs ondersteunen met open badges - Ri...SURF Events
Soms creëren we onbedoeld barrières voor potentiële studenten door de manier waarop we het onderwijs organiseren. Met opkomende technologieën hebben we echter de mogelijkheid om in plaats daarvan bruggen te slaan naar nieuwe leermogelijkheden. Open microcredentials, of open badges, zijn een potentiële kans om zulke nieuwe bruggen voor het leren te creëren. Rick West, associate professor aan de Brigham Young University in Utah (VS), werkt sinds 2012 aan het concept van educatieve badges. In deze presentatie laat hij je zien hoe open badges voor studenten meer flexibiliteit mogelijk maken in hoe, wanneer, wat en waarom ze leren. Daarvan zal hij een aantal goede voorbeelden laten zien. Tijdens zijn sabbatical begin 2019 was hij in Nederland en bezocht hij de pilotprojecten van het SURF edubadges-project. In deze sessie deelt hij ook de inzichten die hij hier heeft opgedaan en geeft aanbevelingen mee aan de Nederlandse instellingen.

Developing sustainable staff development for online teachers: What works and ...RichardM_Walker
The Covid-19 pandemic has underlined the importance of online teaching within higher education and provided further encouragement to institutions to develop their fully online course provision - a trend which has been gathering pace over recent years. It has challenged universities and colleges to think about how they support their faculty in developing the competencies and strategies to teach effectively online.
Looking to the future, how do we support the continuous professional learning and development (CPLD) of online instructors, addressing the needs of both new and more experienced online practitioners, with equal attention to their pedagogical knowledge and technical skills development? What works and why within an online teaching context? In this presentation we will present a CPLD model that provides an overview of the different sources of learning development that are available to online instructors - both within and outside the teaching institution – and how they are interrelated and interconnected as part of a wider ecology of CPLD support to staff. We explain how these different sources of support may be combined to support personalised learning development pathways in online teaching practice, drawing on illustrations of evidence-based CPLD practices from staff developers and academics from across the world (Forbes & Walker, 2022).

Foundations for sustaining learning-centered practicesStephen C. Ehrmann
Learning-centered practices such as learning communities, capstone courses, studio courses, ePortfolio initiatives and service learning have remained at the margins, sparkling and fading over the years. In addition to developing such practices directly, institutions of higher education need also to promote conditions that will allow learning-centered education to flourish and become the new normal. This presentation at the 2015 Lilly Conference in Bethesda MD outlined seven such foundations, ranging from specific kinds of leadership to specific kinds of support services. The session, lasting 75 minutes, was highly interactive and the slides include some notes taken during the session, in blue.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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”.

Rationale for the study
› Fourth study in the Digital Student program
› Following on studies into HE, FE and Skills
› Builds on Scaling Up Online Learning
› Many providers are moving into this area:
–in HE especially CPD/postgrad courses
–in FE especially as an online element of
all taught courses (FELTAG)
–specialist professional and work-based
learning
3. 09/07/15 Building digital capability
Defining online learners
› For the purposes of this study, online learners are
defined as all of:
–learners enrolled in fully or mainly online courses of
study, located away from a physical campus (e.g.
home, work)
–learners undertaking independent online study within
courses that are mainly delivered traditionally (on
campus, face-to-face)
–learners accessing online learning materials or
learning opportunities who are not enrolled in a
formal course of study
5. 09/07/15 Building digital capability
What are the consequences of using
such a broad definition?
› ‘Most learners in post-compulsory settings will experience some
online component to their learning, formal or informal, and as
they move into lifelong learning/professional development this
component will form a larger proportion of their study time.’
› ‘Online learners are not, then,
a distinct group of learners:
they are post-compulsory
learners in particular
settings, and with
particular preferences,
challenges and needs.’
6. 09/07/15 Building digital capability
Methods
› Expert advisory group
› Literature review and analysis
› Consultation with online learners and staff who work
with them #OLsuccess
› Synthesis of findings:reporting and recommendations
› i.e. similar approach to earlier #digitalstudent studies
with aim to repurpose some of the same outcomes e.g.
benchmarking tool, Tracker, SUOL toolkit
7. 09/07/15 Building digital capability
Literature review: 245 references
› Search terms:
› online_learning, online_learners, MOOC, open_learning, virtual_learning,
networked_learning
› (plus) learner: experience, engagement, satisfaction, motivation, identity/
identities, progression, development, perception, voice
› (focused searches for terms recommended by working group): disability,
access, accessibility, inclusion, induction, preparation, self-efficacy, self-
regulation, readiness, disadvantage, socio-economic, international
› Criteria for selection:
› Recency (post 2012 unless particularly relevant or frequently cited)
› Involvement of learners, especially via large-scale surveys and/or detailed
qualitative work
› Focus on the learning experience, rather than teaching, course design, or
organisational issues
8. 09/07/15 Building digital capability
Overview of the literature
› Factor analysis: factors influencing the outcomes of online learning
– learner-related factors (dispositions, experiences, capabilities)
– environmental factors (digital environment, spaces and places of
learning)
– factors in course design and delivery (induction, content and media,
activities, assessments, teacher ‘presence’, role of tutor/peers etc)
› Comparative: contrasting online and offline learning activities or courses
› Case studies: usually course-centred
› Qualitative and mixed-method
– including participative and learner-centred studies
– including attitudinal and affective issues
› Learner surveys:
– including development of assessment instruments
› Synthesis studies and literature reviews
9. 09/07/15 Building digital capability
Overview of the literature
› Dominant themes:
– self-regulated learning, self-efficacy, readiness to learn online
– affective issues especially social presence/distance, collaboration
› Dominant approaches:
– large-scale questionnaires
– (coming in) use of analytics and system data
– rich, detailed, often longitudinal studies of small nos of learners
› Lack of consensus on key issues
– e.g. collaboration; intrinsic dispositions vs. educational ‘capital’;
retention; role of induction; open vs structured environments
– hard to reconcile or assign relative value to the difft approaches
› ‘Online learners are different’ may be key message
– even if v large data sets show ‘significant’ findings in one
direction
10. 09/07/15 Building digital capability
Overview of the literature
We have to be very cautious in making any general
statements about online learners and online learning:
› Extensive, varied and contradictory literatures
› Providers taking different approaches, devising their own
scales, protective of their own research
› Research tribes focusing on different issues, speaking
different languages
› Differences among learners may be more significant than
similarities of ‘online’ setting
› So what can we say (what would be useful to say?)
11. 09/07/15 Building digital capability

› What makes for success in learning online?
1.What are successful online learners like?
2.What do successful online learners do?
3.How do successful online learners feel?
4.What differences among online learners make a
difference to their success?
5.How can providers help online learners to succeed?
12. 09/07/15 Building digital capability

Headline findings
5. How can providers support online learners’
success?
› Teach responsively, confidently, with consideration to learners’
different: motivations, interests, learning histories and resources
› Prepare online learners to study online - norms, practices,
expectations, good study habits, functional access
› Enable learners to use their own devices, services and skills
› Support access to rich and diverse learning content
› Provide a digital environment that is accessible, social and
personalisable: open (for some learners); secure (for others)
› Address the barriers to success we have identified for specific
groups of learners
