Making the Shift to a Hybrid Working Model: Are You Ready?Daggerwing Group
The votes are in and inevitably a majority of organizations will be shifting to some version of a hybrid working model in the latter part of 2021 / early 2022. In the rush to dust off office desks and prepare for a more collaborative, yet safe, working space, many leaders might be overlooking some of the crucial factors to make the transition smooth, and provide a productive and inclusive working environment for all employees once you get there. Additionally, leaders will need to think about how to encourage the optimal culture to drive productivity, managers will need to adopt different techniques to manage a distributed workforce, and employees will need to reassess how capable they are in thriving in this new world.
A pitch deck is a brief presentation providing your audience a quick overview of your business. With regards to startups, founders are pitching for funding from angel investors and VCs. This can occur at various stages, but typically happens when cash becomes a constraint to your growth. The deck is a vehicle to either get to the first meeting or a follow-up to an interested investor. These slides are my advice on what early stage startups should consider to include when pitching to investors.

Emerging models of connected professional development with chrissi nerantziSue Beckingham
Learning happens everywhere and all the time. It always did. It was and still is free-range and open. It is owned by the individual. Is education, particularly higher education, now moving into this direction too?
Spotting and seizing opportunities around us to learn, feeds our curiosity and gives our minds wings to explore, engage and experiment, create and grow. Today 'around us' has perhaps a different meaning for those who have access to the Internet and the distributed digital technologies. The affordances of digital tools and social media, transform us into connected active participants and imaginative creators. 'Around us' has gained a pan-geographical dimension and stretches across the globe, across societies and communities, across cultures. This new state of distributed togetherness creates new, exciting and often transformative learning and development opportunities we never had before.

Making it rich and personal: meeting institutional challenges from next gener...Su White
The understanding that personal learning environments provide a more realistic and workable perspective of learners’ interactions with and use of technology has gained widespread acceptance across many of the communities interested in learning and teaching technologies within higher education.
However in universities the service which normally purchases and deploys technology infrastructure is typically, and understandable, risk-averse, the more so, because the consequences of expensive decisions about infrastructure will stay with the organisations for many years. Furthermore across the broader academic community the awareness of and familiarity with technologies in support of learning may be varied. In this context work to innovate the learning environment will require considerable team effort and collective commitment.
This paper presents a case study account of institutional processes harnessed to establish a universal personal learning environment fit for the 21st century. The challenges encountered were consequential of our working definition of a learning environment which went beyond simple implementation – in our experience the requirements became summarised as ‘its more than a system, it’s a mindset’. As well as deploying technology ‘fit for purpose’ we were seeking to create an environment which could play an integral and catalytic part in the university’s role of enabling transformative education.
Our ambitions and aspirations derive from evidence in the literature, for example, van Harmelen on personal learning environments (2006), Downes on e-learning 2.0 (2005) and the recent report by Bradwell for Demos on the Edgeless University (2009).
We have also drawn on evidence of our recent and current performance; gauged by institutional benchmarking and an extensive student survey. The paper will present and analyse this qualitative and quantitative data. We will provide an account and analysis of our progress to achieve change, the methods we used, problems encountered and the decisions we made on the way.

Mentoring for Today’s Generation(s) at Scale: Virtual and Face-to-FaceEDUCAUSE
Mentoring relationships come in many forms--online, in-person, short- and long-term, peer- to-peer, and situational. We'll review mentoring in a multi-generational workforce and explore two mentoring models that can be adapted to fit your organization and serve professionals at various career stages. Model 1 is an international virtual mentoring program that uses data analytics to match participants and digital badging to recognize mentor/mentee achievements. Model 2 uses a just-in-time, conference-centered approach to connecting professionals across career stages. For each model, we'll discuss benefits and barriers and action steps for launching mentoring initiatives that support diverse learners.
Join us if you're attending the annual meeting for the first time, want an inside look at the meeting program, or want to provide input into ELI’s future programmatic directions. We’ll discuss how to find sessions that fit your interests, explore innovations and new ideas in the 2018 experience, and review activities you won’t want to miss. You’ll also learn about the ways to become engaged with ELI's community, publications, and events, as well as provide input about how we can better support you and your work.
This presentation addresses student technology ownership patterns and preferences, hybrid learning models, as well as innovations/developments in microlearning, collaborative learning, and microcredentialing.
Higher education institutions across the country are implementing digital badges and credentials to guide, motivate, document, and validate formal and informal student learning. Today’s credentials include digital badges and micro-credentials that open new doors for adult learners toward quick wins for career development and add value with visual recognition for accomplishments. Digital badging provides a digital transcript that highlights a learning narrative that makes competencies, accomplishments, and connections more visible. During this session, you’ll learn how digital badging supports learning and motivates students to progress through their courses, programs, and new educational models. We’ll also discuss the types of data that are available to determine the success of your badging initiative.

3 Emerging Strategies to Advance Professional Learning in Digital EnvironmentsEDUCAUSE
Professional learning is changing rapidly as digital environments further expand knowledge exchange across time, distance, and devices. In this session we’ll explore microlearning, microcredentialing, and new digital learning designs and how advancements in these areas support professional growth, network development, and social learning. 2016 research in each of these areas will be shared that participants can use to benchmark and further evolve their organization’s digital professional learning plans.
Emerging Strategies to Leverage Disruptive Education TechnologiesEDUCAUSE
The world of education is changing rapidly as the new emerging power of the ‘sharing economy’ is about open knowledge exchange across time and distance, particularly through mobile devices. Technology continues to alter how we engage with what we are learning, how we collaborate and interact, and how we manage the overwhelming amount of information available to us. Our postmodern learning tools are being fashioned to work the same way that social networks are evolving. This decentralization of the knowledge base, emergence of new and disruptive technologies, and expectations of a personalized user experience puts pressure on the association community if they are not preparing for the future.
Toward Student Engagement and Recognition: Developing a Digital Badge Roadmap EDUCAUSE
Higher education institutions are experimenting with the use of digital badges to guide, motivate, document, and validate formal and informal student learning. Digital badging, accompanied with interactive learning designs, provides a digital transcript that highlights a learning narrative that makes competencies, accomplishments, and connections more visible. In this presentation, you’ll learn how digital badging supports learning and motivates students to progress through their courses and programs. The presentation reviews all the components of a badging initiative, but will have participants identify badge components, sketch out their badge constellation, and develop an assessment strategy within the context of a course.
Mobile Teaching And Learning: Engaging Students And Measuring ImpactEDUCAUSE
The ELI’s research on mobile learning brings together a collection of best practices, case studies, and research on mobile technologies’ potential to engage students and enhance learning. Using your own local mobile learning initiatives or pilots, we’ll review and apply strategies and methodologies to help measure the impact of mobile tools on teaching and learning. As we review these approaches and measurement frameworks, participants will consider their challenges/opportunities in these areas and what research might be useful to advance their mobility work. This talk is part of the BNN Future of the Academy Speaker Series co-sponsored by NERCOMP, the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE), and the Boston Library Consortium (BLC).
Working Successfully with Emerging Technologies and InnovationsEDUCAUSE
Continuously innovating and transforming our current practices is critical to keep pace with teaching and learning as it evolves. While there is no shortage of candidate innovations, the process by which to discover them, to select them for pilots, and to consider full-scale implementation, can be challenging. How should incubator models be structured? What should be the goals of innovation within our technology portfolios? How should we select technologies to pilot? What processes or rubrics are effective in pilots? Resources: http://tinyurl.com/goodpilot
The MOOC in Review: Contributions to Teaching and LearningEDUCAUSE
Over the past year, the massive open online course (MOOC) has emerged as a significantly different course model. So, what we have learned about the MOOC and its potential to support learning? In this session I’ll review examples of how the MOOC is being utilized along with several related issues: implementation and deployment approaches; student success data; MOOC innovations; financial models; connections to traditional programs; and future developments.
