This document summarizes Dr. Ebba Ossiannilsson's presentation on quality considerations for the digitalization of education. The presentation discusses challenges like the need for social, emotional, collaborative and empathic skills in the 4th industrial revolution. It also covers trends like personalized just-in-time learning, collaborative learning, evolving models of quality, and recommendations to focus on learner experiences and outcomes over time. The presentation argues that quality assurance must consider access, flexibility and lifelong learning on a macro, meso and micro level to truly transform education.

8. Personal learning is like shopping at a grocery
store. You need to assemble the ingredients
yourself and create your own meals. It’s harder,
but it’s a lot cheaper, and you can have an
endless variety of meals. Sure, you might not
get the best meals possible, but you control the
experience, and you control the outcome.
Personalized learning is like being served at a
restaurant. Someone else selects the food and
prepares it. There is some customization – you
can tell the waiter how you want your meat
cooked – but essentially everyone at the
restaurant gets the same experience.

Impact of learning over time – on careers, on habits of lifelong learning, on
community involvement and benefits.
Engagement as one of the key drivers for quality.
Innovative, flexible, effectively using technology for learning, teaching, analytics and
assessment or engaging students with practical applications of the content.
In re-thinking the approach to quality, we should ask ourselves
The How? How do the students experience their learning
The How? How do faculty experience their teaching?
The What? Focus on outcomes in more depth.
The So What?
The Then What?
… need to move to a much more experiential and outcome-based view of quality if
it is to be the engine of transformation.
