"Contributions from Open and Distance Education to Higher Education Quality: present and future"
"Contribuições da Educação Aberta e à Distância para uma Educação Superior de Qualidade: presente e futuro"
In this presentation I will suggest using a quality framework to help you think about and improve quality of e-learning. I start with some general observations about quality and the need for quality frameworks. I then discuss two specific frameworks: the well-established E-xcellence benchmarks for e-learning, and the OpenupEd framework which as been specifically aligned at MOOCs. Finally I return to some more practical advise, particularly about thinking about the learning design of a course at an early stage.

Governmental and Institutional strategies to support new ways of teaching and...EADTU
The presentation includes strategies at governmental and institutional level for the uptake of new modes of teaching and learning. It includes recommendations by the EU published Changing Pedagogical Landscape study and the EMPOWER programme by EADTU.
Based on contributions by Jeff Haywood (University of Edinburg, George Ubachs(EADTU) and Piet Henderikx (EADTU).
The general aim of this work has been to define some guidelines and recommendations for implementation of OCW by institution in a context of student mobility. The approach taken is to determine a set of controls as part of a quality model for the implementation of OCW in virtual mobility. Therefore, this quality model would take into account some acknowledged quality aspects in eLearning, production and reuse of OERs, and at the end, the implementation of mobility programs.
The present work is an output of the project ´´Open Course Ware in the European HE context´ European project founded by the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union. The focus of the project is the creation of preconditions for a strong European OCW framework and as consequence a decline of obstacles to collaboration between European institutes, and therefore an increase in real student mobility.

This presentation was given at the 5th World Forum for Lifelong Learning in Madrid 27 September 2017, in a panel/roundtable on lifelong learning and distance education, chaired by Alejandro Tiana Ferrer, rector for UNED and host for the Forum.
After having listened to my co-presenters and in the plenary before our roundtable plus material from my own presentation, I suggested the following input to the conclusions from the Forum:
1. We, believers in Lifelong Learning should mobilise for inclusive integrated lifelong learning in a digitalised world
2. We should suggest the direction to be, within the framework of Education 2030 SDG 4, inclusion and education as a public good, social justice as a point of departure.
3. Collaboration among all stakeholder, and this is also the lifeblood for having success for Education 2030.

At the 2nd OER World Congress on 19 September, the idea of a network, Global Open Libraries, GOL, was presented, both at a well visited special event and at the plenary session later on the day and even on a satellite event discussing OER in non-English languages..
The presentation in the special session is this one.
You can comment on the report at icde@icde.org at the blog. Your comments can either be added directly to the blog post, or emailed to icde@icde.org by Wednesday 11 October 2017. Then the report will be finalised and the partners will decide if an initiative for GOL will be taken, and if so – the next steps.
The report asks, is this feasible:
“Based on existing quality OER repositories, educational needs, teachers and learners demands, a possible initiative intends to spark the uptake of OER and Open education in Higher Education and Upper Secondary Education, and provide the basis for a future networked global cooperation between quality OER repositories. The main outcome of a possible initiative will be a dynamic global network of OER repositories, well connected to key stakeholders and the user community.”
It is not simple to predict, and in particulate predict the future (and hype is always there). After having outlined state of play in ICT enabled pedagogy, using the US as an example, OER is presented as an opportunity for innovation in education - and a learning process facilitating innovation is presented. What is next? Exiting opportunities are knocking on our door: VR, AR, AI and more to come - take care, the learner is in the core.

Open Education and Digitalized Society - Digital Learning in a Borderless World. Or:
A helicopter view on South East Asia when digitalisation is penetrating education. Could ambitious benchmarks comparing with Nordic countries be established for the 11 countries and the cooperation among them?
The era of digitalisation sets a new agenda for learning and teaching. While globalisation, technology and demography are major trends influencing all sectors of society, including higher education – ICDE observes more specific trends setting the agenda:
• Online and open goes mainstream
• OER and MOOCs fuel innovation in education
• Shift to personalised learning and assessment
• Convergence of education, cognitive psychology and neuroscience
• Lack of funding and lack of understanding of the concept of online, open and flexible education – create hurdles
• Skills and lifelong learning a new global trend, with learners in the centre, we enter the new paradigm of lifelong learning.
• Quality first
Without direction digitalisation, education can go good or bad. The message is discussed: Put the learners first, lead digital transformation – and lead transformation of education. Go open, innovative and collaborative for inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all.
Flexible learning: transforming education, labour market and societyicdeslides
International outlook on learning and digitalisationICDE These are the slides from the inspiration seminar ICDE conducted in Oslo, Norway, on April 26, 2017.
This presentation, shows how flexible learning has the capacity to transform education, labour market and society, based on the societal needs and the agreed sustainable development goals. Initiatives and networks facilitated by ICDE create a vital force in the internationalisation of the ICDE member institutions and often in collaboration with important partners as the international ICDE member associations and governmental organisations as UNESCO and Commonwealth of Learning.
More than ever a transparent, accountable and democratic global organisation as ICDE is needed for the case of the learners, the educational institutions and stakeholders working to make online, open and flexible education a part of the solution for future education.
The offerings for networking, events and initiatives for sharing good practice and new knowledge are many, made possible by the members of ICDE, like the conference organised by Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning: “Reaching the Unreached”, the two events in France starting 22 – 23 May in Nancy, hosted by UNIT at the University Lorraine, in partnership with EDEN and EADTU, with the 2017 ICDE Leadership Summit, “Leadership: when transforming education through learning analytics and adaptive learning” and continuing the 24 May in Paris, hosted by UNESCO, “Visionary Leadership for Digital Transformation for the Sustainable World We Want”, in partnership with UNESCO and the project D-Transform, the great 27 ICDE World Conference in Toronto 16-19 October, hosted by Contact North: “Teaching in a Digital Age —Re-thinking Teaching & Learning” and the International Lifelong Learning conference in February 2019, Lillehammer, Norway organised and hosted by Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences - INN University.
The Global Doctoral Consortium has developed very well with 3 times more members than anticipated, now focusing on the first Doctoral Consortium as a track at the ICDE World Conference in Toronto. The GDC also collaborate with the Global OER Graduate Network http://go-gn.net
The Global Quality Network has been established, and is focusing on possible global quality guidelines for online, open and flexible education as the first task.
The new ICDE Chairs in OER , are already very active and visible, with for example the MOOCQ initiative and both presenting at the World Learning Summit in Kristiansand.
The study “Online, Open, Flexible and Technology-Enhanced (OOFAT) Models for Education” is developing very well, led by Dominic Orr, Forschungsinstitut für Bildungs- und Sozialökonomie (FIBS) together with the OpenEducation Research Hub (OER Hub).

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.

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.

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.

2000 2015 2030
412 mill
Only possible facilitated by online, open and flexible learning
5. Target 3, point 43.:
A well-established, properly-
regulated tertiary education system
supported by technology, Open
Educational Resources (OERs) and
distance education modalities can
increase access, equity, quality and
relevance, and narrow the gap
between what is taught at tertiary
education institutions and what
economies and societies demand.
The provision of tertiary education
should be progressively free, in line
with existing international
agreements.

2019 – International UNESCO Conference on Quality Assurance in Higher Education
UNESCO Headquarters, Paris (date tbc). Scope: How QA can contribute to achieving the SDGs and
Education 2030?
The UNESCO Agenda for for Higher Education and Quality (1):
7. The UNESCO Global Convention on the Recognition of Higher Education
Qualifications.
• It aims to: “facilitate academic mobility, improve quality and enhance international
cooperation in higher education”.
• Build international consistency in recognition processes
• An enabler for quality enhancement of higher education
• Online, open and flexible education is included as “non-traditional learning modes”
• To be adopted by the United Nations’ member states in 2019
The UNESCO Agenda for for Higher Education and Quality (2):
8. The UNESCO 3rd World Conference on Higher Education 2020
• Focus: “Universities as communities for lifelong learning”
• New types of learning both on campus and online through technology enhanced and blended
study provisions to be included
• Digital Higher Education is seen by UNESCO as a key opportunity to improve quality and
inclusion
The UNESCO Agenda for for Higher Education and Quality (3):
9. Agreed policy between ICDE and UNESCO
Paris Message, 2015)
• Recognise the important contribution from online, open and flexible
education to meet the challenge of scale and quality
• Create effective policies and enable regulations for online, open and
flexible systems at all levels based on equity principles
• Recognise that funding is critical, and needs to include investment in
high-capacity network infrastructure, faculty development and
equitable and affordable access to quality education
10. The ICDE Quality Agenda
• Quality is our Strategic Objective number 1: “To promote quality digital open and
flexible education”
• The establishment of the ICDE Quality Network
• The global study of delivery models for online, open, flexible and
technology enhanced higher education – “OOFAT”
• Our open scholarly journal Open Praxis
• The ICDE Global Doctoral Consortium
• The ICDE Quality Review Service
• ICDE COIL and Internationalization Services
13. Quality in online education:
the holistic perspective
• Quality in online, open and flexible education should not be regarded
as separated from quality assurance of all other educational provision
• Quality standards, guidelines, recommendations and recognition
should be developed through an integrated perspective
• The understanding and measures for quality needs to be developed
through a culture of quality enhancement that must be integrated
into the HE system
• Requires a strong and committed leadership from institutional,
national and global educational leaders
14. Important quality factors in
(online, open and flexible) education
• Quality enhancement rather than assurance – since educational
environments are developing fast and have become “moving targets”
• Open Educational Resources (OER) have the potential to increase quality
and access to education, and should be subject to the same quality
requirements as other educational resources
• Student engagement and satisfaction
• Faculty engagement and satisfaction
• Learning Analytics for personalized and adaptive learning
• Competency based education recognized by employers
• Assessment of learning outcomes
• Alternative assessment and credentials
15. Input from the ICDE Quality Network
= a global perspective on QA of online, open and flexible education
17. Some quality challenges for
online education across the globe
• QA systems do not fit distance and online education
• Perception of online education as inferior to conventional learning
• Lack of strategic and national norms
• Lack of institutional commitment to quality enhancement
• Lack of staff competencies in blended and online learning
• Faculty resistance to transparency and quality development
• Lack of integrated perspective on quality across modalities
• Poor infrastructure – unstable internet connectivity and power supply
constraints

24. Significant changes through increased
digital learning and Learning Analytics
• Learning happens more and more online, also in traditional F2F
learning environments
• Virtual learning produces data that can feed learning analysis =
increased transparency
• Students expect more personalized learning and feedback
• Teachers can monitor students more closely and adapt their teaching
• Institutions, Accreditation Bodies and QA agencies need to monitor
and report statistics of success rates, retention etc.

• What before was in the margins, open and distance learning, is now going mainstream in large parts of the world, materialised as online, blended, open, flexible, technology enhanced and e-Learning. Convergence is here, followed by increasing competition (and collaboration) and diversity in higher education. While this is the main trend, the situation in some regions will provide a different picture, e.g. in parts of the south.
