A look at responding to equity challenges in higher education, targeted especially at institutions working with e- and distance learning.
The presentation frames the equity challenge as an innovation challenge, and asks universities how they can use technology to improve the situation.
The presentation considers challenges facing Higher Education today, and presents some of the technology-linked innovations which are moving the field forward for a new generation. A special emphasis on the phenomenon of unbundled education is included.
Presented at AQUATNET Annual Conference in Istanbul, March 2013
The presentation considers how open education innovations can contribute to solving the equity/equality gap in Europe, as described by the aims of the Bologna Process.
Presentation from Online Educa Berlin 2012. It gives a brief introduction to the VISIR (www.visir-network.eu) project, and uses the concept of micro-innovations to look at open educational practices.
The presentation created as part of open education week 2012, gives a focus on the results of two European projects which have been used for mainstreaming open educational practices, namely:
- recommendations to policy makers on Mainstreaming OEP, as a result of the OPAL (www.oer-quality.net) project
- a discussion on recognition and certification of learning done through OER (www.oer-europe.net)

Quality Assurance Digital Education: Lessons from the Maltese ExperienceAnthony Fisher Camilleri
As in other sectors, digital education is rapidly deconstructing concepts which lie at the core of established educational systems and which form the bedrock of our quality assurance systems. In a digital world, how do we define a Higher Education Institution, how do we define a credential or even, how do we define a course? How do concepts such as formal and non-formal learning stand up to scrutiny? How do we establish jurisdiction for purposes of accreditation? Assuming we can define these concepts adequately, are current system of quality assurance fit for purpose? Is quality assurance merely a protective tool, or can it be used to stimulate and mainstream digital education?
The presentation will address all these questions from the perspective of a small EU member state and member of the EHEA, using the under-development Maltese digital accreditation system as a case study.

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

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.

1. Responding to Equity
Challenges in Higher
Education
Some innovations in a lifelong learning perspective
EDEN Annual Conference 2012

2. Our aspiration
„We share the societal aspiration that the
student body entering, participating in and
completing higher education at all levels
should reflect the diversity of our
populations―
London Ministerial Communique
www.efquel.org
5. The facts
The EQUNET 2011 report found that access
across the EHEA is inequitable.
Countries so wide divergences on: Lower socioeconomic backgrounds
- gender balance are:
- net entry rates - less likely to attend Higher
- entry via alternative routes Education
- participation based on occupational - likely to choose different courses of
/ educational background study
- income gap of students - more likely to work during studies
- Ratios of foreign students - far less likely to have a mobility
experience
www.efquel.org
6. How realistic?
„we commit to securing the highest possible.
level of public funding for higher education „
Bucharest Ministerial Declaration
Do you think ‚equity‘ funding
is crisis proof?
www.efquel.org
7. Solutions on Offer by Ministries
• Provide adequate support to
underrepresented groups
• Promote flexible learning pathways / RPL
• Involve students as active participants in
their own learning
• Higher Education should be an open
process
