We say "mooin": MOOC Making Stories from LuebeckAnja Lorenz
Webinar at eduhub.ch at May 26, 2016 https://www.eduhub.ch/events/webinars/mooin/
In March 2015, the Luebeck University of Applied Sciences started its own MOOC platform "mooin" (https://mooin.oncampus.de/). In 160 days of development, we made Moodle look sexy and thus suitable for MOOCs. One year and eight MOOCs later, we learned a lot on MOOC making from technical, pedagogical and organizational perspectives. And we decided to make MOOCs not only on academic topics that should replace in-class lectures. We mainly experimented with topics out of the academic focus: We made MOOCs on the Hanseatic League, video making, social web, enterprise learning, 25 years on German reunion or German pronunciation. And there is much more on our roadmap.
In the webinar, we will give you a short introduction to MOOCs and their special characteristics, show you how we support those in mooin, and give you some insights in our courses and work.

Replay from today's webinar in the SoLAR online open course Strategy & Policy for Systemic Learning Analytics. Thanks to the Australian Office for Learning and Technology for sponsoring this, and to George Siemens for convening (replay):
Abstract: The OU has been analysing student data and feeding this back to faculties since its doors opened 40 years ago. However, the emergence of learning analytics technologies open new possibilities for engaging in more effective sensemaking of richer learner data, and more timely interventions. We will introduce the framework we are developing to orchestrate the rollout of a systemic organisational analytics infrastructure (both human and technical), and discuss some of the issues that arise. We will also describe how strategic research efforts will key into this design, should they prove effective.
This book is written for educators who want to leverage on the open online courses to better themselves. This book serves as a guide for beginners who wish to explore the various platforms of MOOCs, namely Coursera, iversity, edX, ALISON, Canvas Network, Open Learning, Academic Earth, Future Learn, Peer to Peer University, Saylor.Org, and Udemy. There are two chapters that first introduce to the readers what MOOC is and how MOOC can serve as a medium of learning. Each chapter then starts by simply introducing the name of the MOOC platforms that follows with descriptions of the respective MOOC platforms. Readers will appreciate the inclusion of screenshots to ease their navigation in making the most out of the online resources. It is hoped that this book will provide a resource to advocate for the best possible ways to learn from the open world.
I did this presentation for faculties of Teaching and Learning Resource Center at Feng Chia University. All participants have basic understanding about open course.

NOVAMOOC – Development and innovative implementation of MOOCs in Higher Education
In this keynote presentation I explore the value of WIL in providing key skills for future workforce needs. Against a backdrop of significant changes in the workplace and challenges to resources and recognition within institutions, I ask whether institutions can make WIL experiences accessible, meaningful and of high quality for all our students. Newcastle University's Career-ready Placements project will provide a critical case study to better understand and address key challenges in this area.
An assessment workshop on the six critical areas that need to be addressed in developing online assessment at scale. Led by the Centre for Online and Distance Education with a delegation of VCs and senior leaders from Nigerian Universities, and senior representatives from the National Universities Commission of Nigeria. Held on 24th March 2023.
ASCILITE 2022 presentation on Hybrid Learning Space design outlining an approach based on a '5-piece' model that incorporates:
1. clear pedagogy;
2. design patterns;
3. tools to think with;
4. exploratory design method/approach;
5. agile team configuration.
Background/context. While the COVID-19 pandemic has caused numerous economic, health and wellbeing issues, it has also caused significant disruption across the education sector. Universities were prompted, or forced, to transition from face-to-face teaching to fully online teaching practices in a short period of time; with many being unprepared to do so (Jung et al., 2021; Metcalfe, 2021). This presentation explores the experience of the University of New England (UNE) in transitioning its learning, teaching and assessment to fully online. In contrast to other institutions either having to shut down their learning and teaching activities or resorting to restricted forms of operations (Naidu, 2021), the experience of educators at UNE wasn’t all bad. Against this backdrop, the presentation reflects how learning, teaching and assessment practices at UNE were modified in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Adopting an optimistic stance, the presentation describes the challenges, opportunities, and the positive lessons learned, celebrating multiple successes.
The initiative/practice. From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, UNE has continued its learning, teaching and assessment practices, although numerous adjustments have been necessary. Courses that were previously offered via mixed modes (online and on-campus) were transitioned to being fully online. On-campus activities such as practicals, laboratory demonstrations, and intensive schools were revised and re-imagined for fully online delivery.
Methods of evaluative data collection and analysis. Semi-structured, conversational-style interviews were conducted with 18 academic staff at UNE about their experiences of transitioning to fully online delivery. These interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded and subjected to thematic analysis to capture key ideas and emergent themes.
Evidence of outcomes and effectiveness. Thematic analysis of interview data identified that despite the challenges, a range of positive experiences, practices and attitudes emerged from the transition to fully online delivery.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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
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.

6. From Design Narratives...
I convinced my university that we need to experience with MOOCs.
And I succeeded! From January to April we built the “cope14” MOOC:
competences for global collaboration, which is running from 22.04 -
02.06. (so it is active, today starts week 6). I love cMOOCs but in the
project team we opted for a mixture of c and x. I’m glad that “cope14”
is open, we use a wordpress blog. There are questions and links and
assignments and videos of course. And - we have two moderators who
are monitoring the learning processes and try to support the learners a
little bit.
