A Global Network for Deep Learning: the Case of Uruguay@cristobalcobo
The aim of this paper is to describe an innovative large-scale action research in the field of education. This paper illustrates a unique sample of a global network of schools working together as a "living lab" to test, implement and improve innovative pedagogical practices in seven different countries (clusters). This experience can be regarded as a disruptive experiment from the methodological (i.e. network of schools), pedagogical (i.e. learning by creating) and accountability perspective (i.e. novel ways of assessing learning outcomes). This global network allocates special relevance to the cultural and contextual specificities of each member. This paper focuses on the Uruguayan case, the only non-developed partner country, which is working in incorporating up to 2,800 schools in this global network by the end of 2019. After providing a background and key figures of the current education system in Uruguay, the authors describe the outcomes of this experience so far (2013- 2016) and highlight some of the expected achievements and instruments to assess the second phase of this experience (2016-2019), with special emphasis in the design of new metrics and the adoption of new assessment tools. After stating the conclusions, the paper points out the limitations and further questions to be explored along the implementation of this global experiment in education.

Educational Technology Research Trends: Examining Six SSCI-indexed Refereed ...Yu-Chang Hsu
This study applied text mining methods to examine the abstracts of 2,997 international research articles published between 2000 and 2010 by six journals included in the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) in the field of Educational Technology (EDTECH). A total of 19 clusters of research areas were identified, and these clusters were further analyzed in terms of productivity by country and by journal. The analysis revealed research areas with rising trends, stable status, and low attention. This study also identified areas of research emphasis by journal and research strength by country. A discussion of results through the lens of Critical Theory of Technology is also included. The authors hope to inform the EDTECH community about the trends of EDTECH research on topics and regions of research contributions. The authors also believe that such examination of trends can help facilitate fruitful discussions of directions for future research, and possible international collaboration across various geographical regions.
Getting Mobile: a critical challenge for the higher education classroomLuis Borges Gouveia
Current settings for the higher education classroom have at the most, just as a side actor, the use of mobile devices.
This presentation defends the need to reconsider the use of mobile devices, like laptops but mostly smart phones as an active element in the teaching and learning process.
This move will follow the trends that millennials and other young generation has already adopted to use and explore smart phone in their daily life.
As so, tradicional settings are not getting update and the higher education, in many situations, have not take into consideration that change.
We believe that is critical and the time to adopt and integrate use and exploration of mobile devices is now.
What role do “power learners” play in online learning communities?@cristobalcobo
This study focusses on the role of highly active participants in online learning communities on Facebook. These people, often known as “power users” in the literature on social computing, are a common feature of a wide range of online learning groups, and are responsible not only for creating most of the content but also for getting discussion going and providing a basis for other’s participation. We test whether similar dynamics hold true in the context of online learning.
Based on a transactional dataset of almost 10,000 interactions with an online community of 32 postgraduate students who were following the same online course, we find evidence that power users also exist in the context of online learning. However, whilst they do create a lot of content, we find that they are not fundamental to keeping the group together, and in fact are less adept at creating content which generates responses than other “normal” users. This suggests that online learning communities may have different dynamics to other types of electronic community: it also suggests that design efforts should not be focused solely on attracting a small core of “power learners”. Rather, diverse types of users are needed for online learning communities to survive and prosper.

Since for many people, life in the 21st Century has become international, multicultural and inter-connected, new skills are needed to succeed in education. In this talk, different understandings of so-called 21st Century skills are explored. This session discusses some of the key conditions needed to develop skills for innovation and analyses relevant trends that stimulate the development of these skills within and outside formal educational settings. Key elements include: the mismatch between formal education and the challenges of an innovative society; the shift from-what-we-learn to how-we-learn; the fluctuating relationship between digital technologies and contents; the changing conceptions of space-time and the emphasis on lifelong learning; and the development of soft skills. Finally, this talk will emphasise that the augmented learning and the development of skills for innovation are critical aspects for the future of education.
Openess: Rethinking the Role of the University in the Internet Era@cristobalcobo

According to Wikipedia: Open science is the umbrella term of the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or professional. It encompasses practices such as publishing open research, campaigning for open access, encouraging scientists to practice open notebook science, and generally making it easier to publish and communicate scientific knowledge.
Here (in this remixed on purpose) we will explore some of the key dimensions and opportunities behind the open science and its opportunities for digital scholars.

From the time he was in his teens, Rob had heard about the lucky few who traveled to Germany to pick up their brand new Porsche automobiles at the factory and take them for an extended drive on the autobahn at great speeds. On the journey, they enjoyed beautiful scenery and Euro-luxury before having their cars shipped to the states for a much more prosaic driving experience. This year, he finally decided to check it out for himself. Maybe someday you will, too. Maybe you won’t. But either way, in terms of UX, this might be is as serious as it gets for fully experiencing a brand at its core.

Blended teaching: Remote English instruction in Uruguay@cristobalcobo
Seminar: "From Good Intentions to Real Outcomes: Equity by Design in Learning Technologies". Presented at the Data & Society a research institute focused on the social and cultural issues arising from data-centric technological development (https://datasociety.net) Friday, February 10, 2017
Plot: The project implemented by Plan Ceibal in Uruguay allows primary school children between fourth and sixth grades to have three 45 minute slots per week of English: one taught by a remote teacher, model of language and in charge of introducing and explaining the linguistic content corresponding to each week through his remote presence via videoconference equipment; and two forty-five-minute slots with the classroom teacher, who following the lesson plans sent to her every week, may review, accompany and guide her students in the learning of English. Coherence between remote lessons and face to face lessons is ensured by a half hour virtual coordination between the two teachers involved in the learning process, in which concerns, learning and teaching styles are discussed (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceibal_project#English_project )

Methodological innovation for mathematics education researchChristian Bokhove
In this talk I will highlight how innovative research methods can help us in answering research questions for mathematics education. Some examples will be:
The use of social network analysis for communication networks of trainee mathematics teachers, as well as interactions in the mathematics classroom.
The use of sequence analysis for analysing data from an online mathematics tool.
The usefulness of open approaches to improve research transparency.
I will draw these projects together to sketch some interesting directions for mathematics education research.
Schooling Redesigned - Towards Innovative Learning SystemsEduSkills OECD
What does redesigning schools and schooling through innovation mean in practice? How might it be brought about? These questions have inspired an influential international reflection on “Innovative Learning Environments” (ILE) led by the OECD. This reflection has already resulted in publications on core design principles and frameworks and on learning leadership. Now the focus extends from exceptional examples towards wider initiatives and system transformation. The report draws as core material on analyses of initiatives specially submitted by some 25 countries, regions and networks. It describes common strengths around a series of Cs: Culture change, Clarifying focus, Capacity creation, Collaboration & Co-operation, Communication technologies & platforms, and Change agents. It suggests that growing innovative learning at scale needs approaches rooted in the complexity of 21st century society and “learning eco-systems”. It argues that a flourishing middle level of change around networks and learning communities provides the platform on which broader transformation can be built.
This report is not a compendium of “best practices” but a succinct analysis presenting original concepts and approaches, illustrated by concrete cases from around the world. It will be especially useful for those designing, researching or engaging in educational change, whether in schools, policy, communities or wider networks.
Innovation and the future: Y3 ssp 12 13 l15Miles Berry
The technologies whose study properly forms a part of ICT education develop at an exponential rate, with Moore’s law promising a doubling of computing capacity every couple of years, and global industries and innovative individuals continually finding new applications to use such capacity. The extent to which your school makes use of such innovation is, to some degree, in your hands.
After hearing your presentations, we’ll look at some of the issues raised by the rapid pace of technological change and explore some ways in which schools can best make discerning use of new technology. I also explore some current trends and we look at some technologies that may well find a place in the classroom of the not too distant future, or whatever may replace it.
We conclude with a review of the assessment requirements and an opportunity to reflect on the module.

This is the JRC-IPTS invited presentation on policy recommendations for mainstreaming ICT-enabled learning innovations at VISIR International Seminar (25-26 March, Committee of Regions, Brussels). Short description: Technologies for learning are considered as key enablers of educational innovation. However, their full potential is not being realised in formal education settings and major questions are being asked about the sustainability, systemic impact and mainstreaming of ICT-enabled learning innovations (ICT-ELI) in Europe. This presentations focuses on recommendations for immediate strategies and actions to be undertaken by policy-makers at local, regional, national, and EU level to further develop and mainstream ICT-ELI with systemic impact, contributing to the modernisation of Education and Training systems in Europe. The recommendations were developed in the context of the 'Up scaling Creative Classrooms in Europe (SCALE CCR) project, carried out by JRC-IPTS on behalf of the European Commission, DG Education and Culture, based on desk research; case reports from Europe and Asia; continuous stakeholders consultations; and in-depth expert interviews. The final set of recommendations was further validated and prioritised through an online consultation with 149 educational stakeholders. The recommendations were clustered into seven areas presenting a holistic agenda to guide the further development and mainstreaming of ICT-ELI: Content and Curricula; Assessment; School Staff Professional Development; Research; Organisation and Leadership; Connectedness; and Infrastructure. The number and variety of the recommendations provided depict the complexity of ICT-ELI and the systemic approach needed for their mainstreaming across Education and Training systems in Europe.

How smart are smart classrooms? Evaluating International Evidence@cristobalcobo
There has been a considerable progress in integrating technological innovations to facilitate the learning process. This has a potentially important implications on student’s learning process as well as the role of teachers. SMART Classroom is a machine-assisted educational platform developed in Korea that allows learners to study at their own pace while teachers play a role as advisers, coaches and facilitators. Artificial intelligence allows for identification of optimal lessons based on learning algorithms and patterns of individual learning. The session will showcase an example of a framework of Korean education policies and an initiative of smart classroom, and how it has contributed to improving the learning quality and reducing the education gap in Korea.

This presentation summarizes some of the key trends in the changing ecosystem of higher education. Rather than a particular adoption of certain technology, a novel certificate or a new business model, what we explore is how the disintermediation of education is changing the boundaries, strategies and infrastructure of universities. The complex phenomena of 'uberization' of education offer new opportunities as well a number of deep redefinitions. What is clear is learners are in charge and education institutions are invited to re-think some of their traditional strategies.

April 20 – 21, 2017 @ Massachusetts Institute of Technology
organized with the Association for Computing Machinery (www.acm.org).
In 2007, Plan Ceibal became the first nationwide ubiquitous educational computer program in the world based on the 1:1 model. It is one of the most important programs implemented by Uruguay’s Government to minimize digital divide and is based upon three pillars: equity, learning and technology. As of 2007, Plan Ceibal has covered public schools, providing every student and teacher in kindergarten, primary and middle school with a laptop or tablet and internet access in the school, as well as a comprehensive set of educational software platforms.
Plan Ceibal reached 85% of the students in Uruguay (100% of public education 1 to 9 grades students) reducing significantly the digital divide between the “have” and the “have-nots”.
After the massive deployment of devices, platforms and connectivity, as well as educational resources, now the focus is particularly on teachers training, development of new pedagogies as well as a new culture for understanding teaching and learning (i.e. new pedagogies for deep learning). This presentation summarize the "computational thinking" and the "maker culture" promoted by this public policy in Uruguay.

El Plan Ceibal se ha convertido en una poderosa plataforma para extender y ampliar las oportunidades de enseñanza y aprendizaje de los estudiantes de educación pública en Uruguay. El uso tanto de los dispositivos (tablets y laptops) como de la infraestructura (red y softwares) registra volúmenes de demanda sin precedentes. Por otra parte, los datos que Plan Ceibal administra integran fuentes de información relacionadas con la gestión escolar, la administración de las plataformas tecnológicas así como la utilización de numerosas herramientas y aplicaciones educativas. Este tsunami de datos es una cantera de valiosísima información para apoyar la educación.
Pensando en el grado de uso de las plataformas educativas que ofrece Plan Ceibal, es posible crear un indicador de “participación en línea” (engagement) como resultado del nivel de actividad e interacción de los propios estudiantes en dos plataformas: PAM (plataforma adaptativa de matemáticas) y CREA2 (learning management system). ¿Cuáles son los perfiles de “participación” de los sujetos? ¿Estos perfiles responden algún patrón de clasificación socio-económica o geográfica? ¿Cuál es el perfil de participación de los docentes en cada una de estas plataformas? ¿Se identifica consistencia en el tipo de uso de estas plataformas? ¿En qué medida es posible encontrar correlaciones entre el grado de “participación en línea” de los estudiantes y su participación (asistencia) en clases presenciales? Estas y otras interrogantes serán analizadas durante la presentación.

What aspects of appropriation and use of ICT can be measured with analytics that cannot be measured with existing indicators? With an analytics software on the computer, what do we want to know about how students use technology?

Aprendizaje y Contenidos Digitales :: Cristóbal Cobo :: El Instituto Internac...@cristobalcobo
El Instituto Internacional de Planeamiento de la Educación de la UNESCO Sede Regional Buenos Aires inicia en 2015 una nueva propuesta de formación en línea.
El ciclo de cursos cortos virtuales (CCV) sobre Política TIC en Educación incluye tres líneas temáticas:
1. Cultura digital y educación.
2. Aprendizaje y contenidos digitales.
3. Las TIC y la formación docente.
La expansión de los modelos 1 a 1 en la región más el incremento del consumo de otros dispositivos móviles como tabletas y celulares configuran una nueva forma de presencialidad en la vida cotidiana que desafía las categorías modernas de tiempo y espacio. Esta realidad supone un desafío para repensar nociones como “conocimiento” y “aprendizaje” y, en consecuencia, los formatos institucionales y las nuevas formas de producción y circulación de los contenidos educativos.
Algunos interrogantes para pensar la temática: ¿Hasta qué punto los nuevos recursos y sus dispositivos configuran nuevas formas de diseñar procesos pedagógicos? ¿Cómo se definen los procesos m-learning y cuáles son los aportes a los procesos formativos? ¿Existe una nueva ecología de las instituciones? ¿qué aportan las licencias de libre circulación a las instituciones educativas? ¿Cómo lograr la construcción de una red sustentable de colaboración entre todos los actores para favorecer el uso de las herramientas tecnológicas y la durabilidad necesaria?

Incluye las peores prácticas sobre TIC en la educación:
1. Lanza hardware con la esperanza que suceda magia suceda.
2. Implementa en cualquier contexto las recomendaciones de la OCDE, WB, UNESCO.
3. Piensa en contenidos educativos sólo después de lanzar hardware.
4. Supón que sólo debes importar contenidos de otro sitio.
5. Haz una apuesta por tecnologías no probada (especialmente estándares cerrados/privativos) o con un único proveedor.
6. No consideres (ni reconozcas) el costo total de la inversión (licencias, soporte, capacitación, actualización).
7. Piensa que son suficientes para resolver problemas de desigualdad (inequidad).
8. No formes a los profesores (ni directores). Worst practice in ICT use in education

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

27. Challenges
• Resistance: Change teacher’s mind set (capacity building).
Transit from a technology-centre approach into alternative ways
of understanding teaching practice.
• More personalized learning experiences:
Integrate different learning environments (Formal/informal).
Embrace more flexible ways of integrating disciplines (PBL). Build
new assessments (holistic indicators).
there´s no one single accountability but a combination of outcomes
Editor's Notes
This is not a laptop program (is much more ambitious than that). Laptop is a device that by itself won’t make any difference.
First stage: Acces. Deployment of Network and provision of computers for every child. Free wifi network. Computer, school connectivity, public place connectivity. (Urban and rural areas)
Second: Adding support. Training of teachers (F2F and virtal)> laptop>softwares>skills; Educational contents; video conference in English. Kahn Academy contents (1,500 videos translated). Online assessment. English teaching. Dissemination of innovative practices. LabTed (robotic, coding).
Third: Quality implementation. Focus on math and literacy (English and math). Increase the number of student’s graduation rates.
Primaria – their training is not payid.
Secondary they work in several places at the same time.
Expanded presence
Implementation of education platforms (adaptive in Mathematics) where students can transit from less to more complex approaches.

Adding a layer of tools on top of traditional curriculum does nothing to address the learning we need.
The computers were provided and then they got the training.
The use of computer is not mandatory
New technologies will bring new digital gaps
There not coclusive results regarding changes in students performances
