SUMMARY:2020 Athens
DESCRIPTION:“Open and Distance Education: New challenges and Perspectives”\, co-organised by the Ellininogermaniki Agogi and European Distance and E-Learning Network – EDEN will take on 6-7 November 2020. Taking into account the special conditions under Covid19 the conference will be available through virtual facilities (e.g. zoom and youtube) while participants will be additionally able to join at the virtual conference hall of Ellinogermaniki Agogi in Second Life. The Open Classroom strand within EDEN was launched in 1995\, with the focus on distance education and new technologies in school level education and training\, mapping and exchange of information about initiatives\, and the transfer of ideas from the more traditional areas of ODL to the school sector. The success of the first conference\, entitled “The Open Classroom”\, and the continuing interest of the international ODL professional community was the catalyst to develop this movement further within EDEN.The Athens Open Classroom Conference this September aims at exploring the idea of “Open School” as an engaging environment that effectively introduces novel methodologies\, tools and content by re-designing learning to accommodate and include difference and by bringing together families\, community groups\, local businesses\, experts\, universities\, into an innovation ecosystem. The event is the latest of a series of Open Classroom Conferences co-organised by Ellininogermaniki Agogi and EDEN in the last years (2019: Creating Conditions for Deeper Learning in Science; 2017: Open Schools for Open Societies; 2015: Open Discovery Space: Transforming schools into innovative learning organisations; 2011: Never Waste a Crisis! Inclusive Excellence\, Innovative Technologies and Transformed Schools as Autonomous Learning Organisations.)\nTaking into account the special conditions under Covid19 the facilities can safely host 100 participants.

SUMMARY:2019 Athens
DESCRIPTION:Invitation to jointly organise the conference Creating Conditions for Deeper Learning in Science was received from Ellinogermaniki Agogi as an event of the Open Classroom Conference (OCC) series. In the field of learning innovation our Greek partners\, especially our long term friend Ellinogermaniki Agogi\, always played a pioneering role by organising the Open Classroom Conference Series. EDEN was aiming at giving support to this highly valuable initiative.\nThe conference brought together researchers\, practitioners and decision-makers from all around the world to investigate the concepts of Deeper Learning\, the conditions under which it could lead students to develop mastery in scientific subjects and the methods how these achievements can be assessed. \nContributions centred around Deeper Learning defined as a set of competencies or educational objectives and to characterize a way of learning (or a process) that promotes these competencies (mastering core academic content\, thinking critically and solving complex problems\, working collaboratively\, communicating effectively\, learning how to learn\, developing academic mindset). The focus was widened considering that training in science using arts has been shown to improve creativity and innovation as well as students’ Deeper Learning. \nThe programme of the conference contained 6 keynote speeches\, 5 workshops\, 1 symposium\, 1 round table discussion and 22 papers. EA organised a presentation of the results of the Stories of Tomorrow project Mars colonies – Lego-robots\, e-book demonstration and a theatre play involving the concerned K-12 students and their teachers\, besides the iMuSiCA VR demonstrations. \nEDEN supported communication and organisational issues. The Network was represented by Ferenc Tatrai\, Senior Advisor as a speaker addressing the conference in the name of Sandra Kucina Softic\, EDEN President. Ferenc also held a presentation entitled “Learning Innovation & Professional Communities” highlighting EDEN’s contribution to the educational innovation processes of the European Union. One-quarter of the around 100 participants were EDEN members. Besides the most populated Greek delegation\, the number of German\, Swiss and US participants was remarkable. 34 Tweets were posted about the 2-day event at EDEN Twitter account. \n\nThe conference also served as the final conference of the STORIES OF TOMORROW project. The conference was further supported by the projects iMuSciCA\, eCraft2Learn and weDRAW. The aforementioned projects have received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. EDEN is supported by the ERASMUS+ Programme of the European Union. \nYou can browse photos and tweets from the conference. \nYou can download the Proceedings of the Deeper Learning EDEN Open Classroom Conference 2019: Creating Conditions for Deeper Learning in Science\, using the following link. \nFor more information visit the Conference website.

SUMMARY:2015 Athens
DESCRIPTION:Dates: 18-21 September 2015 \n\nVenue: Ellinogermaniki Agogi\, Athens\, Greece\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe EDEN Open Classroom 2015 Athens is the initiative of EDEN supported by the ERASMUS+ Programme of the European Union.

The Conference incorporates the final event of the Digiskills project\, a European project demonstrating ways to involve school communities in innovative teaching and learning practices\, and empower teachers and trainers to use\, share and exploit unique resource. The timing also made several of the conference activities the first steps in the sustainability of the Open Discovery Space project\, one of the ever-largest EU co-funded educational networking initiative. \nThe hosting projects utilised their teacher communities and resources in the interest of a professional event\, offering free training opportunities and promoting their best teaching practices. The trainings provided were acknowledged by certifications. Based on its continuing success\, the EDEN “Synergy” strand was weaved into the programme in Athens as well\, adding a “project magnet” effect to the conference and enabling new partnerships to be created and old ones to be strengthened and expanded\, thanks to the active participation of a diverse audience. \nThe language of the conference was English\, where necessary\, translation was provided. \nInvitation\nEDEN has been organising the Open Classroom Conferences since 1997 with the support of the OCLR Working Group. The 2015 Athens Conference addressed the needs and necessities in search for Innovation in School Education. \nDevelopments in learning innovation and the impact of ICT on school education have presently been realised through many policy actions\, programme initiatives and projects. At the same time\, socio-economic challenges and the recent\, often critical scenarios ? social mobility\, migration\, globalisation\, multi-culture structures ? change the mandate of what we call Open School Education. \nThe search for new\, more effective school structures\, and the overcoming of broader challenges that societies are facing in their way towards the Knowledge Economy\, is uninterrupted. The demand is increasing for upgrade of quality\, in order to meet the needs for new competences and skills. It is proven that learning personalisation helps foster motivation and engagement\, so learning is becoming more and more individualised and self-managed even in institutional settings. \nThe EU has adopted policy initiatives like the Opening Up Education and formulated ambitious goals in the EU2020 programme\, for the school education sector as well. Still\, most Member States are striving to introduce innovation through resisting structures and hindering factors. \nTransforming systems to open environments will necessitate significant amendments to the existing teacher profiles in order to run a school system successfully. Through its range of presentations and activities the conference aims to contribute to the social\, political and research dialogue\, addressing the new complexities\, contexts and resources. The exploration of what makes school education innovative will be enhanced by practical activities demonstrating and demystifying those 21st century teacher skills and competences that are so often regarded as essential but intimidating. \nTo serve this double purpose the conference showcased and celebrated the excellence of teachers as “change agents” from all over Europe who ? having been involved with EU projects like ODS and DigiSkills ? developed (often from scratch) and/or improved their digital skills and competences by participating in online trainings and face to face summer schools\, workshops and competitions. All teachers yet novice to these innovative projects learned from these inspirational best practices and exploit the active community members’ experiences and achievements. \nDuring the 3 days participants benefitted from professional development opportunities by participating in a selection of the projects’ most popular trainings and webinars in a face to face setting\, while the Scholarly Contributions Day of the programme offered strands of paper presentations and Synergy sessions showcasing research and validated practices. \nThemes\n\nICT and digital media use in primary and secondary education\nDeveloping and improving learning to learn competences\nLearner support in ICT enhanced learning\nOpen Educational Resources and their use in education\nTeacher training\nLearners’ motivation\, needs and perceptions\nLearning psychology\, Learning software ergonomics\nLearning experience and collaborative-collective learning patterns\nThe power and pleasure of sharing\, fun of communicating in learning\nLearning as self-expression and the development of personality\nICTs as resources for innovations to improve learning experience\nVirtual reality\, Games for learning\, simulations\, media rich solutions\nQuality of learning and human resource management\, staff development\, teacher training\nMeasurement of learning effectiveness\nLearning quality and the quality management in education\nLearning quality and experience for disadvantaged student groups\n\nKeynotes and Programme\nThe conference approach and themes imply openness in choosing the topics and applying interactive session formats. Keynote sessions were live-streamed on Youtube. Recordings will be available soon.  \nPPT presentations of keynote speeches by experts and educational policy-makers with specific focus on hot topics in innovation in educational settings: \n\n\nSotirios Glavas\nPresident of the Greek Institute of Educational Policy\, GreeceWelcome Address\nNelly Arvaniti\nSchool counsellor for Physical Education in Eastern Attica\, GreeceWelcome Address\nDemetrios G Sampson\nSenior and Golden Core Member IEEE\, Professor of Digital Systems in Learning and Education\, Dept of Digital Systems\, University of Piraeus\, Adjunct Research Fellow\, Information Technologies Institute\, Center for Research and Technology\, Editor-in-Chief\, Educational Technology & Society Journal\, GreeceSmart Educational Decision Support Systems for School Complexity Leadership: A Research Agenda for School Analytics (click for the PPT)\nJohn Garofalakis\nComputer Technology Institute and Press “Diophantus”\, GreeceEnhancing Teachers’ Digital Skills (click for the PPT)\nFranz Bogner\nHead of Department\, Didactics of Biology\, University of Bayreuth\, GermanyOpen Educational Resources for Enviromental Education (click for the PPT)\nRosa Doran\nNUCLIO / GHOU / Portuguese Astronomical Society\, PortugalDeveloping Effective Teachers Communities\nAlan Bruce\nUniversal Learning Systems\, IrelandOpen to What?: the Future of European Education in the Digital Revolution (click for the PPT)\nAntónio Teixeira\nEDEN President\, Universidade Aberta\, PortugalOpening Up The Classroom – How Inspirational Ideas\, Creative Teachers and Innovative Tools are Changing Schools (click for the PPT)\n\n\nProgramme and Proceedings\nThe full program  in pdf format can be downloaded from here.

SUMMARY:2011 Athens
DESCRIPTION:Conference Scope\nCrisis\, change and innovation\nRecent waves of economic crisis and uncertainty have re-aligned a range of European and global issues. This sense of crisis and challenge however may also serve to energize system transformations\, identify alternatives\, suggest new directions and act as a driving motivating force when old modes are broken. \nFor a positive interpretation of ?crisis? and the way out\, let?s turn again to the Ancient Greek ??ß??? (a separating\, power of distinguishing\, decision\, choice\, election\, judgment\, dispute) < ??ß?? ( ?pick out\, choose\, decide\, judge?). \nInnovation and creativity in times of change are vital for creation of dynamic alternatives. That is equally true for schools and teaching practice. For the world of learning\, a major task is to observe  changes and shifts and ascertain what teachers and other stakeholders (employers\, policymakers\, parents)  need. \nEnhanced use of information technologies in communication and community building is vital in education and training. To turn theoretical knowledge and research into  meaningful action and outcomes\, both practitioners and academics  need to collaborate for sustainable impact.  In a context of systemic socio-economic crisis and transformation\, co-operation and communication between teachers\, pupils and parents are key. \nThe aim of EDEN Open Classroom 2011 was to familiarize teachers\, policy makers and learning community stakeholders with leading edge educational technologies\, innovation methods\, opinion sharing\, collegial discussions and training experiences that will provide an alternative to crisis: new educational tools\, inclusive strategies and creative best practice methodologies. \nKeynote Speakers\nKeynote presentations available here and on Slideshare. \n\nProf. Kirsti Lonka\, Helsinki University/Karolinska Institutet\, Finland\nDr. Claudio Dondi\, Scienter\, Italy\nProf. Demetrios Sampson\, University of Piraeus & CERTH\, Greece\nProf. Kostas Tsolakidis\, University of the Aegean\, Greece\nDr. Nikitas Kastis\, Lambrakis Foundation\, Greece\nDr. Alan Bruce\, Universal Learning Systems\, Ireland\nProf. Erik Duval\, Catholic University Leuven\, Belgium

DESCRIPTION:  \n\nThe 5th Open Classroom Conference will address the ever-increasing needs of Teachers Professional Development\, in search for Innovation and Quality in School Education\, as these needs are imposed by the emerging e-learning paradigms\, the search for new\, more effective school structures and the broader challenges that societies are facing in their way towards what has been identified as the Knowledge Economy. \n\nEDEN is organising the Open Classroom Conferences since 1997 and established the Open Classroom Working Group in 1998 which is working in collaboration with the European Experts Network for Education and Technology (EENet)\, since 2003. Previous Open Classroom events – conferences and workshops – have reflected upon the vision of schools communicating through networks as well as with various content and application service providers\, in the cyberspace\, validating open\, distance & e-learning practices. \nDuring the last decade\, certain developments and the pervasive impact of the Information & Communication Technologies on school education have been materialized and closely followed-up\, through a number of initiatives\, projects and policy actions\, engaging relevant actors and stakeholders in Europe (schools\, universities and education authorities\, training bodies and technology providers). At the same time\, social evolutions – namely social mobility\, migration\, internationalization\, multi-culture societal structures etc. –\, have already changed the mandate which School Education is up to. There is an increasing demand for a radical upgrade of quality\, in order to meet the needs for new competences and skills. \nTowards this Quest for Quality\, the already critical role of the Teacher as well as of other education professions is being significantly upgraded\, in terms of both the new competences and skills required and the emerging professional perspectives and tasks in the school environment. \nTransforming the school education system to an open (e-)learning environment in the lifelong learning perspective means significant amendments to the existing teacher profiles as well as the elaboration of new professions (and education tasks) that are necessary in order to run a school system successfully. \nThe EU has already adopted a set of policy orientations\, under the Education & Training 2010 Programme of actions (see eg. the ICT Group of Experts Report)\, in the framework of the Lisbon Process\, while most Member States are striving through resisting structures and hindering factors\, in order to introduce innovation and well-defined changes\, having the teacher at the (epi-)center. \nThe 5th Open Classroom Conference must contribute to the social\, political and research dialogue\, for the development of sustainable collaborative Teachers Training & Professional Development Models for Schools in the Knowledge Society. These models should address the new complexities\, in terms of (e-learning) processes\, new competences\, contexts and resources in school education\, fostering new roles for learners\, teachers\, experts and policy makers\, scientific\, academic and cultural entities.
