Studying Learning Expeditions in Crossactionspaces with Digital Didactical De...Isa Jahnke
As web-enabled mobile technologies become increasingly integrated into formal learning environments, they are merging to create a new kind of classroom: CrossActionSpaces (informal-in-formal spaces) in which communicative learning takes place across traditional boundaries. The term offers a view from social sciences, emphasizes a change of human action: from pure inter-action into cross-action. Under these new conditions the question are: how to conceptualize and design for learning, how can teaching helps learning? In this keynote, Isa Jahnke presents the framework of Digital Didactical Designs (DDD) which can be used to study and to reflect on educational practices toward deeper learning expeditions.

El tejido empresarial español está formado en un 99,88% por pequeñas y medianas empresas. La coyuntura actual hace más necesario que nunca la constante adaptación a la evolución de la tecnología y a la que ésta tiene en los hábitos sociales. Por ello las soluciones y herramientas digitales son clave para las PYMES. Sin embargo este tipo de compañías dispone de un presupuesto que nada tiene que ver con el de las grandes empresas. ¿Existen soluciones digitales para las PYMES efectivas y a precios competitivos?
Catastro de Centrales y Proyectos energeticosElec Book
Chile enfrenta actualmente un escenario eléctrico complejo, especialmente en los sectores de generación y transmisión de energía eléctrica. La condición exportadora del país hace que el costo de la energía sea uno de los puntos determinantes en la competitividad de sus productos frente a otros mercados. Junto a ello, en 2013 se evidenció con mayor fuerza la estrechez de suficiencia en el suministro, las restricciones de transmisión en la zona central frente a un escenario hidrológico adverso (registrándose la generación hidroeléctrica más baja de los últimos 10 años) y la necesidad de reducir las emisiones de gases invernadero, las cuales podrían afectar las exportaciones nacionales en el mediano plazo.

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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

or
• Accredited (at different levels) autonomous

Are Digital Technologies an enabler for Large
Scale School Education Reforms?
• Large Scale investments in digital technologies
infrastructure purchasing and installing technologies in
schools.
• Sporadic and isolated efforts from individual teachers to
innovate through reflective practice
• Yet, only opportunistic educational added-value and
transformative impact at school education …
WHY ?

Schools are social Complex Adaptive Systems
• Schools are social Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS):
Comprise a wide range of agents (e.g., students, teachers,
administrators, leaders, parents, policies, infrastructure, etc)
which co-exist, interplay and constantly evolve at different
layers of the “System”, influenced by the actions of other
agents
• As such, schools as organizational entities require an holistic
re-conceptualization from their stereotypical monolithic
consideration: “every-school-is-(should-be)-the-same”

• Two core school organizational layers:
o Micro Layer: teaching, learning and assessment practices occurring either
within the physical educational organization premises or beyond them
o Meso Layer: organizational development processes of the educational
organization
• Operating within an overarching “macro” level (policies, legislation,
etc)
Macro Layer
Meso Layer
Micro Layer
• Policy Makers/Society
• Legislations/Accountability
• School Leaders
• “Educational“ Intelligence Processes
• School Teachers, Students
• Teaching, Learning & Assessment
Processes

• School system agents operating in the two identified layers
(micro, meso) constantly produce educational data that
repeatedly generate feedback loops to these agents and to
the “System” as a whole
• These feedback loops and the collective behaviors of the
agents result in the formulation of the “System” status in a
process known as emergence
• The status of the School System at any point is not just a
linear sum of its constituent parts but isforged in a complex
manner by the characteristics and interactions of its agents.

School Complexity Leadership (SCL)
• In this context, School Complexity Leadership (SCL) posits
that credible and efficient strategic planning and outcomes
can not be devised by a single agent (e.g. the headmaster),
but are mainly the result of the actions and interactions of
all key “System” agents (e.g., teachers, parents, etc)
• Thus, school leaders and school teachers can benefit from
holistic and smart data-driven decision support
mechanisms which are based on the collection, analysis,
and interpretation of institution-wide educational data,
otherwise hidden within “black boxes”.

Why Smart Data-driven Education Decision Support Systems
for School Complexity Leadership ?
• Effective school complexity leadership decisions need to be driven by evidence and
rich educational data generated at both layers (micro, meso), that monitor the
System’s emergence state and generate meaningful feedback loops towards
achieving improvements.
• Thus, a wide range of educational data need to be collected from an institution-
wide perspective. These educational data:
• are continuously generated so they need to be collected in a timely manner in order to
be meaningful for supporting leadership decisions
• need to be intelligently processed and visualized to monitor current emergence state
and then, identify and recommend meaningful feedback loops
• Performing these tasks manually and, at the same time, transparently and
collectively by the school leaders is beyond any realistic expectation.

Current School Leadership Decision Support Systems
• Ideally: aim to harvest, analyze and/or visualize diverse educational data
in a timely manner towards generating actionable insights for school
leadership
• We have reviewed 70 existing School Leadership Decision Support Systems:
o The majority of current DSS focus on assisting school leaders monitor school
elements related to externally mandated accountability requirements (e.g.,
students' summative assessment score data and/or retention rates)
o "Business" managerial tasks (e.g., management and strategic orchestration of the
schools' finances and infrastructure) are captured in isolation to other educational
leadership tasks
o Very limited focus is given to micro level educational data for driving internal school
improvement (e.g. a detailed formative and reflective evaluation of the teaching
practices employed by the teachers).

Limitations of Current School Leadership Decision
Support Systems
• Do not adequately accommodate the full spectrum of the core
school complexity leadership tasks
• Do not explicitly consider the interrelations between the collected
educational data from the two organizational layers (micro/meso)
and the manner in which these affect the overall school
performance
• Do not exploit current trends in teaching and learning analytics.
Mainly Management rather than Leadership “tools”

Existing Analytics frameworks and systems for supporting
Educational Decision Support
• Two core Analytics strands have been put forward for supporting
Educational Decision Support:
o Academic Analytics: addressed at Higher Education Institutions for
supporting mainly meso layer leadership processes (e.g., management of
infrastructure, finances, faculty data, etc)
o Learning Analytics: addressed at all types of Education Institutions for
supporting mainly micro layer leadership processes (e.g., profiling
students, provision of feedback to teachers and students, etc)

Limitations of Existing Analytics frameworks and systems
• Academic Analytics: Limited level of exploitation of the meso
layer educational data in combination towards capturing their
inter-relations and how this affects overall system performance
• Learning Analytics: Limited level of accommodation for
capturing educational data related to micro layer system agents
beyond the students (e.g., profiling and activity logging for the
teacher, teaching practices utilized, physical context affordances
etc.)
• Both: exploit available educational data from the different
layers in isolation

Education Decision Support Systems for School Complexity
Leadership based on School Analytics
• School Analytics can provide a backbone framework for designing school leadership
analytics systems to:
o Collect, analyze and process granulated educational data from all organizational
layers (e.g., open-up classroom “black box”) [define “emergence status”]
o identify causal links between school organizational inputs and outputs (e.g., correlate
student outcomes to specific teaching practices employed within specific learning
contexts)
o generate evidence-based recommendations for strategic holistic school improvement
based on the inter-relations of the collected educational data (e.g., targeted teacher
professional development based on processing combined data from the teaching
practice and student performance) [recommend “feedback loops”]
