Recognition of non-formal open learning in formal curriculum
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.
"Post-Finch: Universities UK's role" (Chris Hale, Universities UK)
This document discusses the role of Universities UK (UUK) in supporting open access following the Finch Report recommendations. It outlines several challenges, including monitoring costs, international developments, and ensuring value and competition in publishing. UUK will coordinate stakeholders to gather evidence, avoid duplication, and address issues. Its open access group will focus on developing the evidence base, coordinating research, commissioning new research, advising on policy and infrastructure. The group includes representatives from UUK, publishers, funders, libraries, and learned societies.

Whilst the social dimension has been a main focus for the Bologna Process, at least since it was expressly defined as objective for the European Higher Education Area in 2007, it has been difficult to translate it into a manageable policy agenda. As recently stated in an analysis of this policy: “the social dimension is a policy item that found a way into the Bologna Process agenda, but could not grow into an implementable policy” (Yagci, 2014). Using findings from surveys of students from the EUROSTUDENT project and the analyses of policy interventions within higher education systems carried out as part of the project Peer Learning for the Social Dimension (PL4SD), the authors of this contribution have tried to seek solutions to this quandary of inaction by taking a different approach.
EUA Open Access survey results 2015-16
This document summarizes the results of a 2015-2016 survey of 169 universities in 33 European countries on their open access policies for research publications and data. The key findings were:
- 55.6% of institutions reported having an open access policy in place, while 23.7% were in the process of developing one.
- Common elements of open access policies included encouraging self-archiving in repositories and providing financial support for open access publishing.
- 76.9% of institutions reported having an institutional repository, while barriers to open access included uncertainty around publishers' policies and copyright issues.
- Respondents agreed there was a need for additional incentives for open access publishing and guidelines around legal issues of sharing open access

Standards are important in Dutch education to create compatibility, transparency, and prevent vendor lock-in. The goal is to create an open infrastructure using standards in three areas: education, business, and scientific research. Standards facilitate the content supply chain by allowing schools to select materials, suppliers to provide them, and for materials to be mixed and used. Specific standards help with findability (metadata standards), accessibility (distribution and access standards), and usefulness (exchange of results and concepts standards). Standards go through a process of research, development, testing, evaluation and modification before being registered and adopted through a public-private partnership governance model.
International Students in the UK: Figures and Statistics
According to statistics by the Migration Advisory Committee, there are over 750,000 international students who are studying in the UK each year. As well as bachelor degrees, a number come to study English language courses and others for PhDs in various fields of research. The UK has a relative advantage in offering education to international students because of the importance of English in the global economy and the quality of the courses offered in the universities.

Validation of prior learning(vpl)
The document summarizes key findings from a 2018 Danish government report on validation of prior learning (VPL). The report found strong support for VPL but lack of public knowledge about it. It noted VPL was being used more widely, such as for certificates of partial or full programs, personal education plans, and shortening programs. However, the quality of VPL varied greatly between institutions and there were fewer training courses for VPL staff in 2018 compared to 2010. Barriers to wider VPL use in Nordic countries included lack of public awareness, difficulty communicating VPL to applicants, insufficient funding and legislation not ensuring standardization.
Research Excellence Framework 2014 and Open Access
The document discusses the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 in the UK, which will assess the quality of research in higher education institutions. A key change is that the REF will assess the impact of research for 20% of the overall assessment. Institutions will submit information about staff, research outputs, impact case studies, and research environment to be evaluated under the new framework.

This document summarizes a research project exploring factors that influence adoption and use of open educational resources (OER) in Mongolia's higher education sector. The research will survey and interview stakeholders from key universities to understand cultural and historical influences on OER using an activity theory framework. The goal is to identify conditions that would support OER adoption, adaptation, development and sharing in Mongolian higher education institutions. Key areas of focus include academic culture, quality assurance processes, institutional contexts and policies, infrastructure, and instructor training and support. The research aims to provide recommendations around incentives for OER creation and use, open textbooks, addressing language barriers, and developing OER policies and capacity building initiatives.Brexit - brief presentation to ESC
This document summarizes a report from the Higher Education Authority on the implications of Brexit for Irish higher education. It notes that there are currently 12,000 Irish students in the UK and 2,339 UK students in Ireland. The main challenges identified are student mobility and residency rules, international education programs, academic recruitment and mobility, and research collaboration and funding. The report recommends that Ireland adopt a supportive stance for UK higher education in Europe, make higher education a key part of Ireland's Brexit strategy, and position Ireland as an international hub for higher education and research by boosting investment, developing new partnerships, and attracting students and academics. It also notes uncertainties around a "hard Brexit" and potential positive adjustments.

Steve Phillips: Internationalisation. Home. Overseas. Both
This document discusses internationalization in education, specifically internationalization abroad through transnational education (TNE) and internationalization at home.
It provides an overview of TNE, noting that four out of five UK higher education institutions plan to increase their TNE programs, subjects, countries, and student numbers. The top five countries for UK TNE are Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and Oman. While TNE has grown significantly, international student mobility growth has slowed in recent years for most countries except Ireland, New Zealand, Canada, and the USA.
The document also examines internationalizing education at home, noting rebounds in the UK English language teaching industry in 2017 with increases in student numbers and weeks.

This document discusses challenges and solutions in higher education in Australia. It outlines three critical issues: 1) insufficient funding has led to increased competition, poor decision making, and declining standards; 2) meeting labor market demands by increasing attainment rates, though only 29% of Australians aged 25-34 have a bachelor's degree; and 3) high attrition rates average 17% across major universities. Recommendations include significant funding increases, expanding access through online programs and underrepresented groups, developing university retention plans, and pairing institutions to develop best practices. The keys to success are greater government funding commitment, attracting more full-fee and international students, improving recruitment and access, and enhancing retention.

This document discusses challenges and opportunities for recognizing prior learning (RPL) in open and distance learning, based on lessons learned from the Open University UK. It defines RPL and explores how RPL can widen access to higher education. While RPL provides benefits to learners, institutions, and employers, challenges include ensuring quality assurance and recognition when working across borders in open and distance learning contexts. The Open University UK has demonstrated leadership in credit transfer through its RPL policies and practices.

Is Transnational Education the Future of Internationalisation for Higher Educ...
Is Transnational Education the Future of Internationalisation for Higher Educ...University of Limerick
The UK has been the main exporting country for transnational education (TNE) – that is, for providing higher education to foreign students who study wholly in their own country. In the latest data (2020/21), UK universities reported 488,095 TNE enrolments, up 13% on 2019/20. This compares with 605,130 for international students studying in the UK.
Post-Covid, there is growing interest in New Zealand entering the global TNE market. There are several reasons for this interest:
- Covid-19 and growing geo-political tensions have blunted the appetite for conventional export education (studying overseas) in key source markets, notably China
- While global enrolments in higher education have soared to reach 235.3m by 2020, only 6.1m (2.4%) are internationally mobile, a percentage which has not changed since 1980
- Export education is increasingly seen as exploitative and environmentally unsustainable. TNE, in contrast, reduces the carbon footprint of international education and typically involves building deep partnerships between exporting HEIs and the host countries.
This presentation considers what New Zealand universities can learn from past and present global TNE development, and reflects on where Aotearoa’s approach may differ from the UK’s. It examines the need for stringent Quality Assurance processes to ensure students entering TNE pathways are set up for success.JF Prof CV Feb 2015 Final

This session will demystify (generative) AI by exploring its workings as an advanced statistical modelling tool (suitable for any level of technical knowledge). Not only will this session explain the technological underpinnings of AI, it will also address concerns and (long-term) requirements around ethical and practical usage of AI. This includes data preparation and cleaning, data ownership, and the value of data-generated - but not owned - by libraries. It will also discuss the potentials for (hypothetical) use cases of AI in collections environments and making collections data AI-ready; providing examples of AI capabilities and applications beyond chatbots.UKSG 2024 Plenary Session 3 - There is No List: (How) Can We Combat “Predator...

Although scholarly communications has become more open, problems with predatory and problematic publishers remain. There are commercial providers of lists, start-up/renegade Internet lists of good/bad and the researchers, publishers and assessors that try to understand and process what being on/off a list means to themselves, their careers and their institutions. Still, these problems persist and leaves many asking: where is the list?UKSG 2024 From algorithms to empowerment by Christina Dinh Nguyen.pdf

In the world of digital literacies, liaison and instructional librarians are increasingly coming to terms with a new term: algorithmic literacy. No matter the liaison or instruction subjects – computer science, sociology, language and literature, chemistry, physics, economics, or other – students are grappling with assignments that demand a critical understanding, or even use, of algorithms. Over the course of this session, we’ll discuss the term ‘algorithmic literacies,’ explore how it fits into other digital literacies, and see why it as a curriculum might belong at your library. We’ll also look at some examples of practical pedagogical methods you can implement right away, depending on what types of AL lessons you want to teach, and who your patrons are. Lastly, we’ll discuss how librarians should view themselves as co-learners when working with AL skills. This session seeks to bring together participants from across the different libraries, with diverse missions/vision/mandates, to explore ways we can all benefit from teaching AL. If time permits, we may discuss how text and data librarians (functional specialists) can support the development of this curriculum.UKSG 2024 Plenary 4 - Combining Open Access research and large language model...

In this paper, we present CORE-GPT, a novel question- answering platform that combines GPT-based language models and more than 32 million full-text open access scientific articles from CORE. We first demonstrate that GPT3.5 and GPT4 cannot be relied upon to provide references or citations for generated text. We then introduce CORE-GPT which delivers evidence-based answers to questions, along with citations and links to the cited papers, greatly increasing the trustworthiness of the answers and reducing the risk of hallucinations.UKSG 2024 Plenary 3 - There is No List: (How) Can We Combat “Predatory” Publi...

eth Montague-Hellen, Francis Crick Institute, Katie Fraser, University of Nottingham
Open Access is a foundational topic in Scholarly Communications. However, when information professionals and publishers talk about its future, it is nearly always Gold open access we discuss. Green was seen as the big solution for providing access to those who couldn’t afford it. However, publishers have protested that Green destroys their business models. How true is this, and are we even all talking the same language when we talk about Green?

Chris Banks, Imperial College London, Caren Milloy, Jisc,
Transitional agreements were developed in response to funder policy and institutional demand to constrain costs and facilitate funder compliance. They have since become the dominant model by which UK research outputs are made open access. In January 2023, Jisc instigated a critical review of TAs and the OA landscape to provide an evidence base to inform a conversation on the desired future state of research dissemination. This session will discuss the key findings of the review and its impact on a sector-wide consultation and concrete actions in the UK and beyond.

As transformative agreements emerge as a new standard, it is critical for libraries, consortia, publishers, and vendors to have consistent and comprehensive data – yet data around publication profiles, authorship, and readership has been shown to be highly variable in availability and accuracy. Building on prior research around frameworks for assessing the combined value of open publishing and comprehensive read access that these deals provide, we will address multi-dimensional perspectives to the challenges that the industry faces with the dissemination, collection, and analysis of data about authorship, readership, and value.UKSG 2024 Lightning 2 - How GetFTR Supports Discovery and Access of OA Content

Researchers face more pressure to share their research data than ever before. Owing to a rise in funder policies and momentum towards more openness across the research landscape. Although policies for data sharing are in place, engagement work is undertaken by librarians in order to ensure repository uptake and compliance.
We will discuss a particular strategy implemented at Loughborough University that involved the application of conceptual messaging frameworks to engagement activities in order to promote and encourage use of our Figshare-powered repository. We will showcase the rationale behind the adoption of messaging frameworks for library outreach and some practical examples.UKSG 2024 Lightning 2 - All Watched Over By Machines That Love Open Research

Academic researchers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to make data and software FAIR in order to support the sharing and reuse of non-publication outputs. Currently there is still a lack of concise and practical guidance on how to achieve this in the context of specific data types and disciplines.
This presentation details recent and ongoing work at the University of Sheffield to bridge this gap. It will explore the development of a FAIR resource with specialist guidance for a range of data types and will examine the planned development of this project during the period 2023-25UKSG 2024 - Open infrastructure and standards: small bodies, big impact

Community-led organizations like DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals), COUNTER (the standard for usage metrics) and OA Switchboard (information exchange for OA publications) are committed to providing reliable, not-for-profit services and standards essential for a well-functioning global research ecosystem. These organizations operate behind the scenes, with low budgets and limited staffing – no salespeople, marketing teams, travel budgets, or in-house technology support. They collaborate with one another and with bigger infrastructure bodies like Crossref and ORCID, creating the foundations on which much scholarly infrastructure relies.
These organizations deliver value through open infrastructure, data and standards, and naturally services and tools have been built by commercial and not-for-profit groups that capitalize on their open, interoperable data and services – many of which you are likely to recognize and may use on a regular basis.
Hear from the Directors of COUNTER, DOAJ and OA Switchboard, as well as a library leader, on the role of these organizations, the challenges they face and why support from the community is essential to their sustainability.UKSG 2024 - Reckoning or Retreat?

Octopus.ac is a UKRI funded research publishing model, designed to promote best practice. Intended to sit alongside journals, Octopus provides a space for researcher collaboration, recording work in detail, and receiving feedback from others, allowing journals to focus on narrative.
The platform removes existing barriers to publishing. It’s an entirely free, open space for researchers, without editorial and pre-publication peer review processes. The only requirement for authors is a valid ORCiD ID. Without barriers, Octopus must provide feedback mechanisms to ensure the community can self-moderate. During this session, we’ll explore Octopus’ aims to foster a collaborative environment and incentivise quality.UKSG 2024 - Author Identity Metadata: Why a Small Publisher Can Address a Maj...

Library patrons want to search for and locate authors by particular identity markers, such as gender identification, country of origin, sexual orientation, nature of disability, and the many intersectional points that allow an author to express a point-of-view. Artificial Intelligence, skilled web researchers, and data scientists in general struggle to achieve accuracy on single identity markers, such as gender. And what right does anybody have to affix identity metadata to an author other than the author theirselves? And what of the risks in disseminating author identity metadata in electronic distribution platforms and in library catalog systems? Can a "fully informed" author even imagine all the possible misuses of their identity metadata?
