Applying heutagogy in online education: Designing for self-determined learning
Heutagogy, or the study of self-determined learning, has been gaining interest within the field of education as a learner-centered theory that can help nurture lifelong learning skills and develop learners who are able to quickly adapt to rapidly changing and complex workplace environments. Built on foundational educational theories such as humanism, constructivism, reflective practice, double-loop learning, transformative learning, capability, and self-efficacy, heutagogy can be viewed as an extension of andragogy as part of a pedagogy-andragogy-heutagogy (PAH) continuum. The theory’s key principles include human agency (learner-centeredness), capability, self-reflection and metacognition (double-loop learning or learning to learn), and nonlinear teaching and learning, and when combined with today’s technology, heutagogy offers a holistic framework for teaching and learning that supports development of self-determined, autonomous learners and provides a basis for creating comprehensive, learner-centered education environments. The theory of heutagogy also aligns closely with the goals of online education due to its promotion of learner agency and autonomy, openness, social justice, and democratization of education. This presentation will introduce conference delegates to the theory of heutagogy, its key principles, elements, and theoretical basis, as well as provide examples of how heutagogy can be applied in online education environments to support the development of students’ self-determined and lifelong learning skills. The session will also provide guidance for instructors who want to design for heutagogy in the classroom and offer examples for integrating technological tools and social media such as Twitter, blogs, LinkedIn groups, and Google Docs, that can be used to support self-determined and lifelong learning skills.

The role of educational developers in supporting open educational practices
Note: We are offering this workshop first at the OE Global Conference in South Africa in March and will revise and enhance for ETUG. While open educational resources (OER) increase in availability, sophistication, quality and adoption around the world there remains a gap in the utilization and contribution to open educational practices, amongst faculty. While an official definition for open educational practices is still emerging, we align ourselves with the following articulation which suggests nascent practices enabled by the affordances of OER and open technology infrastructure allowing for the transformation of learning (Camilleri & Ehlers, 2011) which invites students contribution, engagement, and ownership of knowledge resources thereby flattening the balance of power in student/teacher relationships (McGill, Falconer, Dempster, Littlejohn, & Beetham, 2013). Arguments have been made at various levels to engage and support faculty in using open educational practices – at the institutional level to support strategic advantage through lower cost access to OER textbooks and educational materials (Mulder, 2011; Carey, Davis, Ferreras, & Porter, 2015); through incentives which support faculty engagement with instructional designers in the co-creation of reusable high-impact courseware (Conole & Weller, 2008; DeVries & Harrison, 2016); through the experimentation and adoption of the practice of teaching-in-the-open (Veletsianos, 2013); and in the forming of learning communities across institutions (Petrides, Jimes, Middleton‐Detzner, Walling, & Weiss, 2011). This session will focus on the stakeholder role of the educational developer, often situated within teaching and learning centres, whose responsibility may include support of more open practices in higher education, to meet various institutional goals and objectives.
Importance of technology in Education
The document discusses the importance of technology in education. It outlines several benefits: 1) Teachers can collaborate online to share resources and ideas, enhancing teaching practices. 2) Students can develop valuable research skills at a young age through immediate access to information online, leading to faster learning. 3) Both teachers and students have access to a wide range of credible online resources from websites and without limitations of a single perspective.
MM8 ossiannilsson personal
The document discusses the differences between personal and personalized learning. Personalized learning involves tailoring education for individual learners, but the learner has little control over their path. Personal learning empowers the learner to control what, how, and where they learn based on their own needs and interests. It argues that for learners to become truly effective, they must be able to learn independently by finding their own resources and curriculum outside of formal education systems. Teachers have an important role in cultivating curious, independent learners through feedback loops and guidance.
Ecel2015
This document discusses the potential benefits of active learning spaces (ALS) and flipped classroom models as alternatives to traditional lectures. It summarizes a study that examined the perspectives of students, academics, and higher education institutions on drivers, barriers and the future of ALS. The study found that while students and academics see potential benefits, current spaces often do not adequately support new pedagogies. Institutions face challenges regarding space and costs but many plan to create more ALS in the next five years as they recognize benefits like improved attendance and retention.

VIU’s take on open pedagogy centres around the making of learning visible through community engagement and the design of authentic and lived learning experiences, including non-disposable assignments. This isn’t about using open textbooks or open educational resources (however it may be a side effect) but rather about making the entire learning experience live, unedited and unfolding in the moment following many of the attributes of Hegarty’s (2015) model for open pedagogy (learner generated, peer review, participatory technology, innovation and creativity, sharing, reflection, trust and a connected community). We have a number of faculty applying open pedagogy components in their classes and we’ll share some examples. We also are building a course redesign institute around this impactful learning practice. This session will explore the evolving components of open pedagogy and how it might manifest for optimal student learning. Participants will engage in a mini-version of our course redesign model and uncover the key attributes of open pedagogy. Come explore visible learning with us!
Online Learning in K-12 Schools- APP4ChungH
This document discusses online learning in K-12 schools. It defines online learning as instruction delivered via the internet, with teachers and students separated in time or space. Online learning can expand access to education and provide course options for students. It benefits those who need supplemental courses or can't attend physical classrooms. Course management systems help organize online instruction and learning. They provide tools for lessons, assignments, assessments and communication. Online learning allows for flexible, self-paced learning and collaboration with other students. However, teachers need training and resources to design effective online courses. Both teachers and students must also have technology skills and access to fully participate in online learning.
A Brief Introduction to Educational Technology - Part 2
The document provides an overview of educational technology and how it has changed modern classrooms. It discusses how technologies from 1904 to 1994 remained similar but how entertainment technologies evolved over that same time period. Modern classrooms from 2004 onward began incorporating new technologies but retained the same pedagogical approaches. More recent classrooms from 2016 have seen new technologies combined with new pedagogical methods informed by insights from various fields related to learning science. The document outlines some of these new technologies, pedagogies, and insights that are transforming education.
Rethinking how schools work
The document discusses several critical shifts happening in education driven by technology:
1) Teachers are increasingly expected to integrate technology into their teaching and professional development.
2) Open educational resources are growing and being adopted more in classrooms and schools.
3) Hybrid learning models that blend online and in-person learning are being used more to engage students in a variety of ways.
4) There is a push to change traditional classroom experiences and rearrange school schedules to support more flexible, student-centered, project-based learning approaches.
Engaging Learning Experiences in Open-Ended Learning Environments
This document summarizes a keynote presentation by Dr. George Veletsianos on designing engaging learning experiences in open-ended learning environments. It discusses moving beyond simply delivering course content online and instead focusing on designing experiences that promote interaction, collaboration, participation in communities, and engagement with authentic problems. It provides examples of three projects - an ELGG experiment, River Place Summer Camp, and YoTeach.us - that incorporate these elements. The presentation argues for moving beyond dominant narratives about online education and delivery to create learning experiences that are fulfilling, meaningful, and inspiring for students.
The Future of Learning and Teaching
This document summarizes a workshop on the future of learning and teaching in higher education. It discusses developments like learning analytics, digital literacy, flipped classrooms, and game-enhanced learning. Faculty members were asked to consider innovations in learning and teaching at their institution and discuss what types of approaches are most likely to become widely embedded in the future. References are provided on topics like audience response systems, employability skills, and inverted or flipped classrooms.
Empowering Rural Schools for Tomorrow
The document describes how O'Neill Public School in Nebraska implemented a 1:1 device program and 24/7 digital learning opportunities to empower students, break down barriers, and cultivate a culture of pride. The school provided students with choice in devices and learning, challenged them with real-world problems through challenge-based learning, and leveraged various technologies to publish student work and connect their learning community.

Collaboration_Vuopala_ 260913
Collaborative learning refers to studying in a group where members construct a joint understanding through social interaction. It draws from theories that knowledge is built socially and learning occurs through participation in communities. Collaborative learning is effective because it can activate important learning mechanisms like explaining, arguing, giving feedback, and sharing knowledge. While technology like computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) can support collaboration, the quality of interaction and learner involvement are more important than the technology itself for achieving deep learning.
Conole keynote eden
This document summarizes Gráinne Conole's presentation on teaching as a design science. It discusses how teaching can benefit from an evidence-based and creative design approach using learning design methodology. Conole outlines technological trends in education and challenges in teacher practice. She presents learning design as a way to promote reflection and encourage the sharing of teaching designs and resources. The presentation argues that disaggregation of education through open educational resources allows for more flexible learning pathways.
Higher Education for Sustainability 17 Dec 2015
Transformation of higher education is a vital part of the efforts to envision and enact a more sustainable future. Not only are higher education institutions large and complex organizations that can themselves become more sustainable, they are also the place where future leaders have the learning experiences that will shape their professional lives. Universities, polytechnics and colleges around the world are responding to the challenges of sustainable development through innovations in facilities and operations, formal curricula, and student life activities. This talk will highlight examples of how higher education institutions are promoting education for sustainability, with an emphasis on institutions in Southeast Asia. It will also discuss where the greatest challenges and opportunities for improvement remain to provide higher education for sustainability.

Innovation playbook
This document provides an overview of innovation in K-12 education. It discusses the need for innovation to prepare students for an uncertain future. Key challenges schools face include equipping students with 21st century skills and providing equity and access. Factors that can promote innovation include autonomy, collaboration, and a culture open to mistakes. The document also outlines examples of current innovative practices in schools, such as personalized learning, project-based learning and global partnerships. Finally, it proposes that an "Innovation Playbook" could provide a framework to guide schools in developing innovative teaching and learning through approaches like connecting students in global communities and using technologies creatively. The overall purpose of innovation in education is to develop students who are knowledgeable, networked, digital
The flipped classroom_the_full_picture
The document describes the flipped classroom model and addresses some criticisms of it. It proposes an experiential learning model for the flipped classroom that addresses these criticisms. The model incorporates video lectures and online content within a larger framework of learning activities based on experiential learning theories. It involves four phases: 1) an experiential activity to engage students, 2) students learning concepts through videos and online resources, 3) students reflecting on their understanding, and 4) applying their knowledge through real-world projects or problems. The goal is for content to support rather than drive learning by giving students control over content while using class time for hands-on activities.

Online teaching: overcoming the challenges, 20 October 2020
There is no one right way to use technology to underpin the curriculum. The range of possibilities can make it difficult for practitioners to know where to start, but as universities and colleges adapt to the new normal of teaching in hybrid environments support is needed to ‘get it right.’
There will be challenges, but you can overcome these if time and resources are directed at the right things. There are lots of misunderstandings about what it means to use technology to support teaching, learning and assessment. Academic staff need to approach the challenge with an awareness of those misconceptions as well as with a critical and creative mindset.
This webinar will showcase examples of how universities and colleges are currently adapting to provide flexible approaches to learning using digital. The focus will be on what lessons we have learned over the last six months and how we can make online learning a transformative experience for learners, rather than a deficit model.
Shifting the ownership of learning.pdf
The document discusses shifting the ownership of learning to students to develop learner agency. It identifies ten conditions for learner agency, including having learners at the center of their learning, building relationships and partnerships, developing cultural responsiveness, empowering leadership, viewing teaching as inquiry, ensuring curriculum and pedagogy support agency, using assessment for and of learning, integrating technology, and creating innovative learning environments. The document encourages reflecting on which conditions to act on and provides resources to develop strategies that give students more control and ownership over their learning.

CDE Conference 09/02/2009. D Olcott An Emerging Agenda: Global Research in Cr...Centre for Distance Education
This document summarizes research on distance learning from 1988 to 2008 and proposes priorities for future research. It notes that early research focused on describing distance learning activities and comparing it to traditional education. More recent qualitative research examines teaching strategies and student outcomes. The globalization of education introduces issues of access, equity, language and culture that need further study. Going forward, research should improve teaching and learning, be faculty-driven, address social and cultural barriers to online education, and evaluate new technologies and learning styles.Challenges of Virtual Learning A Insight on Management Education
Education is the method of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge and development of the abilities of the mind. Education implies to discipline and development by means of study and learning. One of the foremost crucial benefits of education is that it improves personal lives and helps the society to run smoothly. Covid pandemic has created a great challenge on this educational sector and there was a sudden shock to both the teachers and the students not knowing what to do and this challenge paved way to virtual learning or online classes which was both challenging to students and their facilitators.With the advent in technology and with the perpetual increase in the strength of the students and the number of departments in the educational institutions, it is laborious to exchange the study materials between the students and the faculties. The main objective of the E Learning is to help the students get over the traditional methods of learning and make them accustomed to the internet .But the question remains how far the students and the faculties were able to adopt them self to the sudden shift and cope up with the changes .This paper tries to provide an insight on the challenges faced by the students what was their expectation and perception. This research paper helps both the students and the teachers to know the challenges covid laid on Teaching learning process and the quality of facility learning for growth to survival.

Heutagogy[1]
1) Heutagogy is a self-determined approach to learning where students take responsibility for determining what and how they learn. It emphasizes flexibility, empowering students, and developing lifelong learning skills.
2) The online classroom is well-suited for heutagogy through its flexibility, 24/7 access, and emphasis on collaboration. However, it also requires strong time management and independence from students.
3) While heutagogy may not be right for all students, it is becoming a preferred approach for adult learners and prepares students for 21st century skills of knowing how to learn.
Project based learning increases student engagement and achievement
Project-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy where students work collaboratively to find solutions to real-world problems. In PBL classrooms, students engage in hands-on learning by answering driving questions or solving complex problems. Teachers facilitate the inquiry process and help students develop skills and content knowledge to solve authentic problems. Students develop higher-order thinking skills like problem-solving and critical thinking through this innovative process. Implementation of PBL in schools has been shown to increase student engagement, motivation, and academic achievement.

Edutopia: A Paradigm Shift in Education
Edutopia: A Paradigm Shift in Education
Education is an ever-evolving field, with new approaches and methodologies constantly emerging. One such pioneering initiative that has been making waves in the educational landscape is Edutopia. In this article, we will delve into the world of Edutopia, exploring its vision, approach, and impact on modern education.
Exploring the World of Edutopia
Edutopia, founded by the George Lucas Educational Foundation, is an online resource hub dedicated to transforming the way we educate our youth. Its name is a portmanteau of "education" and "utopia," signifying its mission to create a perfect world of education. Edutopia's significance lies in its relentless pursuit of innovative and effective educational practices.
The Vision Behind Edutopia
At the heart of Edutopia lies a vision to revolutionize education. It is committed to providing teachers and students with the tools they need to learn and teach effectively. The platform seeks to nurture young minds, emphasizing creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
The Edutopia Approach

Pedagogy and innovative approaches in Teaching and learning.pptx
All children are born and raised in different situations. The schools in need to implement a curriculum which not only promotes development in cognition, language, literacy, numeracy and the arts but also addresses wellbeing and happiness of the students. so, Pedagogy must be ideal to the needs of the learners. hence different approaches must be adopted to train the different faculties of children.
Open Educational Resources - positives and negatives
Open educational resources (OER) have several potential benefits but also face barriers to widespread adoption. Some key positives of OER include lowering costs for students, producing comparable academic outcomes to traditional materials, and minimal reproduction expenses for universities. However, barriers exist as well, such as the difficulty finding precisely the right materials, questions around the sustainability of free models, and lack of instructor incentives and support for using new OER. Overall, while OER show promise for expanding access to education, challenges must still be addressed before they can realize their full potential.

Doctoral Use of Social Networks
This document summarizes research into doctoral candidates' use of online social networks for thesis work. A survey of 38 doctoral students found that while they were interested in participating in a social network, there was a gap between interest and actual usage. Implementing required activities and supporting discussions helped increase engagement over time. The research concluded that social networks can create new feedback loops for students and make online mentoring more engaging and time efficient for both students and professors, but require encouragement and skills training for students to fully utilize.
