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.
Abstract: The European Megatrends project has analysed 26 major e-learning successes and ten conspicuous e-learning initiatives which did not reach targeted goals. There is much to learn from the many successful European e-learning initiatives, but this article focuses on what we can learn from the ten discontinued initiatives that spent about €150M before they were closed down after an average of four years in operation. The article presents the ten discontinued initiatives comprising four consortia, two institutional initiatives and four governmental and political initiatives. It includes a discussion on why they failed and concludes with seven recommendations that are drawn from the analyses of the ten initiatives.
The presentation reflects on systematic and continuous quality schemes in large-scale, online learning environments.
It also focus on the experiences with quality barometers and other quality enhancement tools and services at NKI Nettstudier –Scandinavia’s largest online education provider.
The main objective of the study was to investigate how schools in Sao Caetano do Sul (Brazil) and in Finland are using Facebook to communicate with their community.
Beyond the virtual campus: Technologies for virtual learning communitiesSu White
Abstract:
Information and communication technologies have been used formally for many years to build the infrastructure of the virtual campus. However, rich student experiences are a product of both educational and social learning - whether they aske place in the real world or virtually. Like the real world, online communities can flourish and evolve dynamically creating opportunities for social learning which will sustain the learner long after their formal programme of students has officially ended. This presentation will examine the range of different social learning opportunities available and compare the contributions of formal and informal social learning to the growth and sustainability of virtual learning communities
The presentation focuses on the opportunities and challenges Campus NooA (www.nooa.no) has experienced by using Moodle to develop a Nordic open online Academy based on the theory of cooperative freedom and transparency in online education.
The paper describes the vocational teacher training programme designed by utilizing design science approach in years 2007-2016.

The journey to success begins with the question “What do you want to do?”
Except you no one else can define success for you. For Donald Trump, success meant making lots of money. For Ted Turner, it meant building a media empire that could challenge the major networks. For Albert Einstein it meant unraveling the secrets of the universe. For mother Theresa it meant ministering to the needs of the destitute in India.
You won’t really succeed unless the things you accomplish bring you pleasure and satisfaction.

Digital campfires: Innovations in helping faculty explore the online learning...Patrick Lowenthal
Institutions of Higher Education find themselves in difficult times where budgets are being cut while the demand for online learning increases year-to-year. While budgets are cut, the cost to design and to develop courses online is increasing. Given this, colleges and universities need to find creative yet effective ways to develop more online courses. The staff at CU Online have found one method to accomplish this – web camp. The following article outlines how one university uses Web Camps throughout the year to not only meet the growing demand for online learning but also improve the quality

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

26. Translated by Google from www.nki.no/pp/ViviHurtley I was accepted as a psychology student at the university, but had no interpreter, so I chose to study online to combine family life and education. I need a sign language interpreter to follow traditional lectures, since I am deaf. So it is ideal with NKI, since I do not need an interpreter.
