How are MOOCs Disrupting the Educational Landscape? Hugh Davis
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are the latest disruption to traditional educational patterns. Instead of asking students to pay for the courses Universities are giving them away free. This implies that Universities are changing business models and some critics suggest that these new business models will be the death of traditional Universities. Furthermore, educational experts are criticising MOOCs for limited pedagogy and enormous drop-out rates. Many commentators suggest that MOOCs are now passing the peak of inflated expectations on the new technologies hype cycle, and will soon be history. This talk takes a more optimistic middle path, suggesting that Universities that are agile can go with the flow of the disruption (or avalanche?) to the educational benefit of their students, both on campus and at distance. MOOCs are encouraging teachers to take a fresh look at the benefits of blended learning activities, social learning and peer support. At the same time University administrations are revising their financial models for supporting learning and curriculum development. This talk will look at some of the latest trends in the way MOOCs are starting to change educational practice. The educational landscape is being disrupted, but maybe for the better.
Designing strategically aligned credentialing systems with open badges to eng...Jisc
Open badges are digital credentials that earners can display anywhere on the web. They are underpinned by an open accreditation infrastructure developed by Mozilla, which enables the issuing of open badges to recognise granular achievements gained through formal and informal learning opportunities and to capture attributes not picked up in formal qualifications, such as the individual qualities that could help a student stand out in the job market. This workshop will focus on effective open badge system development, introducing Mozilla and Jisc toolkits to support badge system design and a strategic approach to implementing open badges in a formal education context. The session will be led by Mozilla and Jisc, and will include tips, case studies and guidance on best practice in badge system design. Participants will gain hands-on experience with tools they can use for developing open badge systems for motivating learning, supporting engagement and progression and enhancing employability.

Enhancing computing student employability skills through partnership working ...Scott Turner
Scott Turner
Associate Professor,
Department of Computing and Immersive Technologies, University of Northampton, UK
Abstract.
Student volunteering is growing in the UK and elsewhere, and there is an on-going debate about whether it is really “self-evidently a ‘good thing’” with there is a greater need for reflection of whether this is true [2]. This paper presents a personal reflection of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) volunteering as a potential route to increasing Computing student’s employability.
This paper looks at an approach at the University of Northampton that in-volves (i)Linking but not combining a local STEM volunteering scheme to the National STEM Volunteers [5] (ii) Creation of a STEM Steering Group that has representation across all parts of the university.
Three brief case studies of computing student volunteers at different stages will be presented and end with a personal reflection based on observations over a ten year period.

The Evolution of Kanazawa Technical CollegeRobert Songer
In April of 2018, Kanazawa Technical College (KTC) will open the new school year as International College of Technology Kanazawa (ICT). The educational program planned for this transformation is radically different from anything a Japanese 5-year College of Technology (or Kosen) has tried before. It combines an intensive education on a boarding-style campus with compulsory overseas study and collaborative projects from local communities and industries in a primarily English curriculum. How does a school originally founded to produce factory workers in the Kosen system evolve into an internationally-minded, interdisciplinary engineering school with a focus on authentic design projects? This talk will illustrate the social, organizational, and human factors that have driven KTC to become international in a comparison of the historical context of the Kosen system to modern drivers for change.
This presentation focuses on 6 trends in Australia:
- The rise of the skills economy
- The real possibilities of Microcredentials
- The challenge of AI – Learning tools, Analytics & Cheating
- The true hybridization of learning opportunities
- Getting real about First Nations Knowledges and diversity
- The work readiness of our graduates
Providing examples and considerations.

1. Young Engineers
What we are working towards
and why we need your support
www.youngeng.org.uk
April 2016
2. Introduction to Young Engineers
• Our charity’s purpose:
“to inspire young people to develop an interest in engineering, and
recognise the potential, importance and excitement of a career in
engineering”
• We do this by providing a pyramid of offerings to
enable students to develop their engineering interests.
At its base we enable large numbers to experience
engineering challenges in real-world contexts and at its
top we celebrate and mentor young people embarking
on their Engineering career
• Each year over 20,000 students benefit directly from
Young Engineers activities in 600 schools and youth
organisations around the UK
Quick Charity Fact File:
- We are a not-for-profit company and
educational charity, which can trace its roots
back to 1984
- HRH The Duke of York is our Patron
- We receive no direct Government funding
- We have a strong collaboration ethos to avoid
replication and strengthen our impact
3. Background
The problem*
• There is a shortage of engineers both globally and in the UK.
• 1.86 million job openings will need engineering skills from 2010-2020.
• The UK's ability to compete is in jeopardy with contracts going to foreign
companies.
• A vast array of industries are affected including medicine, green technology,
sports as well as construction, electronics, automotive etc.
• Global stability and national security will rely more on engineers as they will
be needed to develop new technologies to address looming global energy,
food and water shortages.
Some Progress*
• 19% of 12-16 year olds now know what engineers do (up from 11% in 2012).
• 38% of 12-16 year olds see a career in engineering as desirable (up 9%).
Action Needed*
• We need to double the number of entrants to engineering across all levels
of qualification.
• We need to encourage students to take triple science GCSE and improve
uptake of physics A level to keep engineering career choices open.
Our role
• Our activities give school students the opportunity to try out being an
engineer and discover the fun and creativity involved.
• Our Membership system retains students and provides them with a range of
activities to progress through, allowing them to develop relevant skills.
*Facts taken from Engineering UK’s State of Engineering Report 2015
4. Our current portfolio

7. Recent Testimonials
Huge thanks for last week, as previously I received numerous compliments about you and the
activities from Staff and students.
Alex Beech, Midhurst Rother College
Thank you for delivering the Rescue Robots challenge yesterday. The students really enjoyed it
and I've already had 3 students asking if they can take part in other STEM events and want to
start a YE club next year!
Wendy Lockhart, St Margaret Ward Catholic Academy
Thank you very much for visiting Gloucester Academy. Judging from the feedback slips it was
clear they had a challenging but enjoyable experience. Every pupil I spoke to changed their
preconceived ideas of engineering and now see it in a more positive light. I believe they now
understand the importance of teamwork in solving engineering problems. All looking forward
to the next activity
Clayton Gardner, Gloucester Academy
We as teachers loved the project as did our students and it is something which will use again.
Many thanks for the opportunity in being involved in this project
Ann–Marie Bentley, All Saints Catholic College
The competitions at the Big Bang Fair are a major motivating factor for students, there is
considerable internal competition between the students to get involved, and the standard of
project work is higher as a result. I believe this is having a significant effect on the recruitment
of students onto my Systems and Technology A-level course, which this year has recruited 8
students when usually the numbers have been 3 to 4.
Paul Gray, Head of Design & Technology, Nottingham High School
Children who attend the Young Engineers Club are more motivated in class, are more likely to
choose triple science when they leave us to go to upper school, and have a greater
understanding of the direction in which they wish to proceed.
The opportunities to showcase work at the Young Engineers Final, offers pupils life skills that
they will never learn in a classroom and these experiences are invaluable.
Our four students (aged 13/ 14) spoke eloquently to the judges for over 40 minutes explaining
their projects. They had no adult support and managed superbly well.
Jo Cox Head of Science, Redmoor Academy, Hinckley
8. We want all UK students to experience a quality engineering role play activity.
Not all will go on to become engineers, but our population will be better
educated about the key role engineers play in society – a core requirement
identified to help address future engineering shortages.
An increase in our annual funding would allow us to:
1. Scale up our operation and reach more students
• We currently reach 20,000 students at 600 schools annually
• Our long-term goal is to reach every school aged student in the UK
• Just two full time and four part time staff manage, develop and support a
nation-wide army of volunteers who deliver our extensive activity
portfolio
• The result is a cost per student intervention of below £20:
best-in-class
• Our services are oversubscribed; additional admin support and an
associate delivery partner scheme would immediately enable an increase
in our output
2. Develop new activities and challenges which will further broaden our
portfolio and appeal to new groups and improve accessibility
• We can further widen our portfolio and broaden our appeal
• We have identified new projects which await new funding for
development. For example:
– An engineering challenge with a drama/theatre setting to show students that
creativity is key to engineering and to encourage them to view STEM subjects
more positively
– A geocache based engineering treasure hunt to pique interest
– Expansion of our Essential Skills video series to enable greater online support
3. Campaign more effectively to gain more support from local companies and
other institutions to provide role models for our members
4. Mount PR and marketing campaigns to raise our profile
Future aspirations
