Research through the Generations: Reflecting on the Past, Present and FutureGrainne Conole
The paper provides a reflection on the past and present of research on the use of digital technologies for learning, teaching and research, along with an extrapolation of the future of the field. It considers which technologies have been transformative in the last thirty years or so along with the nature of the transformation and the challenges. Research in the field is grouped into three types: pedagogical, technical and organizational. The emergence and nature of digital learning as a field is considered. Six facets of digital learning, and in particular digital technologies, as a research field are described: the good and the bad of digital technologies, the speed of change, the new forms of discourse and collaboration, the importance of understanding users, the new practices that have emerged, and finally a reflection on the wider impact.
Open learning in higher education an institutional approachBrian Murphy
The vaue of open learning can be a conflict within higher education instituions. This presentation is the result of an instituional review and research on the open education movement in higher education, given greater impetus by the advent of the MOOC. The journey of exploring MOOCs resulted, ironically, in an enhanced apreciation of OERs and revised strategic thinking of their impact for teaching and research, especially when viewed as a vehicle of co-creation between staff and students. Once value is attached, the principle becimes embedded and accepted rarher than an additional burden of academic endeavour; and the door is opened to the business case for systems, investment and development as well as academic development, support, reward and recognition.

Held on 11 March 2015 during Masterclass "Towards open educational processes and practices"
http://portal.ou.nl/en/web/masterclass-ow-050216/introduction/-/wiki/Main/Programme
This presentation is intended for UPCEA members who are involved in helping their institutions determine whether to offer or continue to offer MOOCs. It draws on the experience of UC Irvine, an early member of Coursera, which has over ten years of experience in OpenCourseWare (OCW) and Open Educational Resources (OER). To begin, the presentation establishes the context for a full understanding of MOOCS, why they developed, what impact they have had so far, and what their effect might be on higher education and the world, but absent the hype and hyperbole that characterizes current discussions around MOOCS. The advantages and disadvantages of being involved with MOOCs and some strategic reasons to engage in MOOCs will be presented, using illustrations from the UCI experience.
Darco Jansen gave a presentation on 20 May 2016 about HE institutions strategies on Open Eduaction at International Conference on Smart Learning Ecosystems and Regional Development. Based on several surveys he demonstrated that Europe is strongly involved in MOOCs and Open education compared to the US. Darco elaborated on the role of regional support centers for Open education in stimulating smart learning ecosystems and smart cities. The development of these support center is presently stimulated by the SCORE2020 project.

This presentation is an update to last year's one.
It emphasizes that Moocs are increasingly debated as a potentially non efficient way to educate.
It also raises the point of the evolution of business and management schools business models, especially as these institutions face new entrants (start-ups) that try and get each a part of the business that was traditionnally devoted to business and management schools. This trend goes beyond countries, as it can be identified in different European Countries or in the US.

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.

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.

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.

28. 2. Mixing Groups?
Be aware that inviting the world
means to bring in the worlds
opinion (existing groups might be
disturbed)
Mixing campus and MOOC
Students might be challenging:
drive in/by learners vs. highly
motivated learners who want a
masters degree.
http://www.teleskop-service.de/Veranstaltungen/ITT2007/Blick_in_die_Berge.jpg 28
29. 3. Learning Across Contexts
Be aware that the quality paradigm “fitness for
purpose” is not working for MOOCs because
MOOCs mean learning across contexts and
purposes.
Quality measures become individualised, quality
methods like self- & peer-assessment and –
reflection are suitable.
http://www.teleskop-service.de/Veranstaltungen/ITT2007/Blick_in_die_Berge.jpg 29
30. 4. Support Self-Organization
Be open about your requirements of self-
organisation, provide scaffolding for those who
lack that self-organisation.

32. 6. Peer-to-Peer Pedagogy
Use peer-to-peer pedagogy: peer-learning, peer-
review, peer-assessment, collaborative learning,
multiple learning pathways and exploratory
learning
Understand that teaching is not a prerequsite of
learning.

33. 7. MOOCs Support Choice Based
Learning
Move away from the notion that „ending a MOOC
early“ means dropping out ; looking at MOOCs
like (structured, paced, timebound) courses
Be aware that MOOC learning is an opt-in/out
learning model - MOOCs follow voluntary
sequencing and are based on choices. The
choices they offer make their attractiveness.
