The overall message is that e-learning is transforming higher education and that universities need strategic approaches to embrace online learning opportunities while ensuring quality.
Presentation about the Open Scotland initiative, presented at "What I Know Is" Symposium on Online Collaborative Knowledge Building at the University of Stirling, March 2014.
The presentation focuses on the opportunities to provide online education that combines individual freedom with meaningful cooperation. Online students often seek individual flexibility and freedom. At the same time, many need or prefer cooperation and social unity . These aims are difficult to combine, so the presentation discusses online education tools and services that support both individual freedom and cooperation. The presentation also elucidates the opportunities and challenges with transparency in online learning environments and provides examples and experiences from Universidade Aberta in Portugal and NKI Nettstudier in Norway.
This presentation discusses the Opening Educational Practices in Scotland (OEPS) project, which aims to increase access to education through open educational resources and practices. It notes that while open education promises to widen participation, there is little evidence it has transformed education or increased lifelong learning in reality due to barriers like digital literacy. However, OEPS is developing open online courses and a community hub to support collaborative learning and scaffold support. By taking a social practice approach and engaging stakeholders, OEPS hopes to demonstrate how open education can be leveraged to fulfill its promise of increasing access to education.

This document provides information about an open online course called "Language and Society" offered at Vytautas Magnus University. The course is designed for self-learning with some optional synchronous online meetings. It aims to equip students with basic linguistics knowledge and an understanding of the links between language and society. Over four weeks, students will complete individual learning activities and assignments, participate in online discussions, and take quizzes. Assessment will include practical assignments, self-assessments tests, and a final project. Topics will cover the nature of language, discourse analysis, language and culture, and language policy.
The document discusses European policy around recognizing non-formal open learning in formal education curricula. Key points of European policy include recognizing prior learning since 1997, and encouraging open recognition of learning achievements from formal, non-formal and informal settings. For non-formal open learning to be recognized, learning outcomes must be documented transparently using standards and quality assurance. Benefits include allowing access to higher education programs and exemptions from parts of study programs. However, barriers include regulations around assessment and recognition, and tensions between accessibility and cost-effectiveness. The document presents a traffic light model to help evaluate open learning offers for their recognizability.

Author - Giedrė Tumosienė,Supervisor in Education Development Centre.Trying to investigate if and when self-assessment can become an efficient tool for development of teacher’s digital competence, we are basing our presentation on preliminary results of field trials and surveys in MENTEP project (developing and testing online self-assessment tool for technology-enhanced teaching competence).
The document discusses how technology is changing the role of teachers and the nature of learning. It addresses how linear models of learning are being replaced by more adaptive, flexible models due to globalization and workforce changes. The role of teachers is shifting from instructors to motivators. Universal design principles are presented as a way to create inclusive learning spaces that accommodate diverse learners through flexibility, perceptible information, and intuitive design. Technology can both contradict expectations of participatory learning but also enable new forms of shared knowledge and engagement when equitably accessed. Education is at a crossroads and requires innovative and inclusive design as well as clear leadership and vision to plan for a globalized world.
This document discusses recognition of open and non-formal learning from an organizational perspective. It addresses how open education practices like MOOCs, OERs, and virtual exchange can provide flexible learning opportunities. However, integrating openness into education organizations presents challenges regarding leadership, transparency, collaboration, and balancing traditional and digital values. The document proposes developing open online programs through universities to recognize prior open learning. This could help engage more diverse learners but requires support and training teachers to create open content and collaborate online. Overall, the document examines how education providers can recognize and validate open and non-formal learning through new online and partnership models.
Author - Vaino Brazdeikis, Centre of Information Technology for Education (CITE), Director.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
