Open Learning, Social Learning - exploring the collective use of OEROEPScotland
The document discusses a partnership between the Opening Educational Practices in Scotland (OEPS) project and Scottish Union Learning (SUL) to develop the use of open educational resources (OERs) in unionized workplaces. Through workshops and pilots, OEPS and SUL have worked to help union learning representatives (ULRs) become "Open Learning Champions" and facilitate collective, workplace-based learning using OERs. Their work has identified barriers like a lack of ULR confidence and a perception that OERs are too individualized, as well as practices that support social learning like grouping learners and providing curation assistance. OEPS is developing an online community hub to help ULRs overcome challenges and share effective models
This presentation was delivered by UK National Agency impact assessor, Steven Murray, during the measuring impact workshop of the December 2015 Learning Networks event held in Cardiff.
The document discusses the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning with Technology (SoTLT) program at the University of Wisconsin - Extension.

This document discusses Cardiff Metropolitan University's involvement in the Erasmus Mundus program. It has received around €27 million in funding for 18 EU-funded international projects, including 6 projects where it is the coordinator and 12 where it is a partner. These projects provide scholarships for student and staff exchanges between European and non-EU countries. The benefits of these exchanges include internationalizing education and increasing the university's global reputation, while challenges include ensuring compatibility between education systems and obtaining visas. Plaid Cymru MEP Jill Evans praised the university's success in gaining EU support through Erasmus Mundus and promoting international cooperation.
iTunes U is a platform within iTunes for universities to share educational content. It allows universities to structure content on their own "sites" and share public or private content. Some Australian universities' approaches to iTunes U include highlighting top downloads, featured content, links to university pages, and sample lectures. For UTS's approach, potential content sources include existing UTSpeaks events, campus life videos, and podcasts, as well as generating new content by enhancing audio/video facilities, training staff, and engaging students.
Erasmus+ provides opportunities for schools through three key actions: mobility projects for learners and staff under Key Action 1; strategic partnerships to share best practices under Key Action 2; and youth participation projects under Key Action 3. Schools can apply individually for staff training and exchanges or as part of a consortium. Projects last 1-2 years and support activities like language courses, observation visits, and joint teaching assignments abroad. Strategic partnerships involve international collaboration on issues like early school leaving and last 2-3 years.
The document summarizes key information about universities in South West England. It notes that there are 13 universities in the region employing over 22,000 staff and teaching over 165,000 students.

This presentation describes the approach taken by an externally-funded series of analytic projects in OER, first POERUP and then the successor studies on SharedOER and Adult Education & OER, to “solve” the requirement, first posed by UNESCO in 2012 (D’Antoni, 2013), but later taken up by the Hewlett Foundation (2013), of geographic mapping of OER initiatives, policies and other related entities. There are of course several such “solutions”, all with their strengths and weaknesses, but the POERUP database is larger than most so far, more multi-sector (HE,VET and K-12) and more global in coverage – in part because it could leverage on a series of well-funded EU projects over several years, each unusually (for EU projects) taking a global viewpoint.
The presentation will consider the decisions taken by POERUP and its successor studies on technology, databases, mapping and user interface, looking both at the distribution and the collection aspects.
This document summarizes a presentation given at the 21st meeting of the Implementation Network of Ireland and Northern Ireland on April 14, 2021. The presentation focused on lessons learned from implementing Scotland's Early Intervention Framework for children and young people's mental health. Key points included:
- Developing the framework took longer than anticipated due to the need to establish scope/focus and develop consensus among stakeholders.
- The framework includes a searchable database of evidence-based mental health interventions for children and youth, with information on implementation factors.
- A self-assessment tool allows users to evaluate local implementation contexts and compare interventions.
- Considering local context, needs, and resources is important for aligning investments and maximizing impact

Key challenges identified include lack of funding, limited connections between education and careers, and engaging new professionals internationally.
The document describes a project called Creanova that took place from 2008-2011 with funding from the European Commission. The project involved partnerships between organizations in several European countries and had the goals of researching factors that promote creative and innovative learning, influencing educational policy, and establishing an international association to continue the work. It outlines the project's process which included defining a theoretical framework, designing experiments and surveys, conducting research in four countries, analyzing results, and establishing an international network called the Creanova Association.
Museum Training & Professional Development in AustraliaLynda Kelly
The document discusses professional development and training for museum workers in Australia. It notes there are over 1300 museums across Australia, ranging from large national institutions to small regional museums. About half have no paid employees and rely on over 9000 volunteers. The document outlines challenges facing museums, such as funding, collection maintenance, changing roles due to new technologies, and attracting younger employees. It discusses approaches to museum professional development, including on-the-job training, short courses, conferences, and formal university programs. Looking ahead, it suggests museums will need workers with skills in areas like collaboration, communication, and facilitating knowledge sharing as the roles of museums and what visitors expect continue to evolve.
The document discusses how the EDEN network can support PhD students and research. It addresses this question by considering:
1) The needs and aspirations of PhD students, such as gaining confidence, refining methodology, and maintaining motivation.
2) How to help students achieve their goals through workshops, supervision support, and defining expectations.
3) Empowering students in their research process by providing discussions with experts, collaboration opportunities, and training in open science methods.
4) Offering a platform for students to share ideas and research findings through the EDEN network's communities, events, and publications.
5) Benefiting the network from student work by identifying research trends, supporting events, and collaborating on communities
Open Dialogue: Towards Organizing Study Abroad Europe-WideCIEE
Many European countries are creating study abroad associations that represent and support their members, serve as a platform for shared information and staff training, and support those who impact the study abroad experience. Today, several of these country-specific organizations are working together to organize study abroad across the region. During this session, we’ll explore the benefits of a comprehensive organization of national associations, including how it can assist with promoting, facilitating, and reinventing study abroad in Europe.
