SUMMARY:The Challenges and Opportunities of Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Format: Panel debate\nDescription: \nAt first glance\, the speed of developments in Europe is overwhelming. Pre-existing conditions created in education established immense possibilities for innovations on the continent. Very complex and concise solutions are already in place. If we think about Open Education\, we have a variety of forms on offer (MOOCs\, OER\, open online learning\, virtual mobility\, remote experiments and science education\, to name a few)\, as well as regulations facilitating collaboration of education providers on all levels of education (Bologna process\, credit transfer\, prior and non-formal learning recognition). \nET2020 open coordination groups already proved their important role in fostering developments in member states. The working group on Digital Skills and Competences addressed transversal issues and collaboration on innovation development and implementation through all levels of education. New instruments and tools were established to agree upon digitally competent organizations; citizens\, teachers and learners can suggest new training schemes and certification possibilities\, as well as recognition of digitally skilled employees in companies. \nThe opening panel of EDLW addresses these speedy developments\, unbundling solutions\, micro\, mezo\, and macro level discussions and the complexity of Europe. \nModerator: Airina Volungevičienė\, EDEN President \nPanel members: \n\nSumathi Subramaniam\, European Commission\, DG Education\, Youth\, Sport and Culture\, Innovation and EIT\nBrikena Xhomaqi\, Director – Lifelong Learning Platform\nRebecca Ferguson\, Senior Lecturer\, Institute of Educational Technology\, The Open University\nSharon Goldstein\, Berkeley College Online\nMarci Powell\, USDLA\nTimothy Read\, Associate Pro-Vice Chancellor of Methodology & Technology\, National Distance Education University (UNED)\, Spain\n\nwatch the recording here

SUMMARY:Perspectives on Open Education
DESCRIPTION:Format: Presentations\, panel debate\nDescription: \nOpen Education is meant to contribute both to innovation dynamics within institutions and to international academic cooperation and networking: this is being increasingly proven by a number of relevant experiences in the higher education field\, as well as in other educational areas. In this webinar\, we will explore these important relations between openness and innovation on one side and openness and internationalisation on the other\, with both practical cases (focusing on virtual mobility and augmented reality) and with broader reflections\, including a review of the work done during the Year of Open declined along the innovation and internationalisation axis. \nModerator: Fabio Nascimbeni\, EDEN Executive Committee member \nPresenters: \n\nFabio Nascimbeni\, Universidad Internacional de la Rioja – UNIR\, Spain – How open education contributes to international cooperation\nDiana Andone\, University of Timisoara\, Romania – Augmented reality in open education\nEstela Daukšienė\, Vytautas Magnus University\, Lithuanian Association of Distance and E-Learning (LieDM) – Open education through virtual mobility\nSusan Huggins\, Open Education Consortium – Review of The Year of Open\nAndrew Law\, Open University UK – Has open education failed?\n\nwatch the recording here \n

SUMMARY:Open Education: The Moral\, Business & Policy Case for OER
DESCRIPTION:University Computing Centre SRCE and European Distance and E-learning Network EDEN\ninvite you to join the webinar:\n“Open Education: The Moral\, Business & Policy Case for OER”\nWebinar REcording\n\nPresentation\n\nLecturer: Cable Green\, Director of Open Education\, Creative Commons\n\nMonday\, 27 March 2017 at 4PM (7AM US Pacific)\n\nSummary of lecture:\n\nThe Internet\, increasingly affordable computing and bandwidth\, open licensing\, open access journals and open educational resources (OER) provide the foundation for a world in which universal access to education is possible. Governments are supporting this shift with a move toward open policies: requiring public access to publicly funded resources. Dr. Cable Green\, Director of Open Education at Creative Commons\, will provide an overview of open licensing and OER\, and discuss specific examples where institutions\, governments and foundations have moved the default on funding\, praxis and culture from “closed” to “open.”\n\nBio:\n\n\n\nCable works with the global open education community to leverage open licensing\, open content\, and open policies to significantly improve access to quality\, affordable\, education and research resources so everyone in the world can attain their education goals. He’s a leading advocate for open licensing policies that ensure publicly funded education materials are freely and openly available.\n\nCable helps lead the global open education movement and is the Director of Open Education at Creative Commons (CC) – a nonprofit organization at the center of an international movement to promote sharing of creativity and knowledge. CC provides the well-known suite of open licenses that have become the global standard used by governments\, institutions and individuals across culture\, education\, and science\, to promote sharing\, collaboration and innovation. The CC licenses are everywhere—1.3+ billion are in use across 9 million websites—making it easy for anyone to freely access and use open educational resources.\n\nCable has 20 years of academic technology\, online learning\, and open education experience and helped establish the Open Course Library. Cable holds a PhD in educational psychology from Ohio State University\, and enjoys motorcycling and playing in the mountains with his family.

SUMMARY:Validation and recognition of non-formal open learning
DESCRIPTION:Recording of the discussion is available here\nFormat: Presentation and discussions \nIntroduction: What about the education and learning that take place outside the school system? Today there are numerous ways to learn and importance of non-formal and informal learning is increasing. We are talking about lifelong learning and opening up education but still are reluctant to recognize online open learning. One commonly-voiced perception is that online education is still a second-rate form of education for education providers and employers. The recognition of non-formal and informal learning outcomes is among priorities of European Commission as well. \nThis was incentive for development of the Erasmus+ project ReOPEN (Recognition of Valid and Open Learning) which is just starting under the lead of Vytautas Magnus University\, Lithuania and project partners. The ReOPEN project aims to create instruments to develop validated open online learning for recognition of prior and non-formal learning. \nIn webinar we will give an overview on JRC policy report on “Validation of Non-formal MOOC – based Learning” and show examples of successful application of open learning for continuous professional staff development and employing examples of digital badge approach. Also this will be a good chance to present the project ReOPEN and its aims and goals. \nPresenters: \n\nThe OpenCred Report: exploring recognition of non-formal learning in MOOCs – Andreia Inamorato Dos Santos\, JRC Seville\, European Commission\n“Designing open and non-formal curriculum for recognition. ReOPEN project approach” – Airina Volungevičienė\,  Vytautas Magnus University\, Lithuania\n \nCARNet Moodle MOOC – a non-formal open learning opportunity for development of digital competences of Croatian teachers – Gordana Jugo\, CARNet

SUMMARY:European Distance Learning Week: European achievements and innovations
DESCRIPTION:Recording of the discussion is available hereFormat: Panel debate and introduction to the week\n\nIntroduction: Innovations in the area of open\, distance and online learning have been shaping the landscape of education in Europe and the global world. Geographical boarders merged\, societies became digitalized and networked\, learning enriched and enhanced by technology application. Technology enriched learning became the tool to develop societies\, to implement sustainable development policies and to implement the mission of global education.\n\nWe must acknowledge the fact that European policy and ambitions are also now\, as never before\, closely followed by global organizations (such as Unesco and others) with the interest to transfer best practices to other countries in the world. European practices are in high demand\, for recognition and cooperation interest. European models of collaboration\, exchange and technology enhanced learning are ready and must be shared with the world.\n\nEDEN\, as European network of Academics and professionals working for 25 years in the field of open and distance learning\, recognizes European experience in integration of technological innovations in education as highly experienced\, solid\, and useful to be exploited and transferred to other countries in the world. In return\, European open and collaborative way to share experiences must generate feedback from other regions of the world to foster the developments of education innovations. This has already been proved through the cooperation with the US Distance Learning Association (USDLA)\, where both\, the US and Europe associations have shared and boosted their best practices during the National Distance Learning Week in the US\, and learnt from each other.\n\nTherefore\, EDEN calls European education policy makers and education providers to participate in European Distance Learning Week (DLW).\n\nThe opening webinar of the week at 13:00 – 14:30 CET on November 7\, 2016\, will embrace the online panel discussion among Senior leaders of EDEN network of Academics and Professionals\, policy makers and the leaders from other European associations – to discuss:\n\n 	Why do we need European DLW and where it comes from?\n 	What are the innovations in Europe in the area of open\, distance and online learning that have been dominating European landscape of education for the last 10 years?\n 	What are the best practices and the strengths of Europe that went through the development\, the transformation process and have been integrated in education organizations for the mainstreaming?\n 	Why challenges these innovations raised for education policy and education providers and how European policy of education addresses these challenges today?\n 	What is the future of European leadership in open\, distance and online learning?\n\nPanel speakers:\n\n 	Sharon Goldstein\, USDLA\, Marci Powell\, USDLA\n 	Denis Crowley WG2020\n 	Brian Jurczyk-Arnold\, LLLP  (TBC)\n 	Brikena Xhomaqi\, Director\, LLL Platform\n 	Sebastian Horndasch\, programme manager at Hochschulforum Digitalisierung (German Forum for Higher Education in the Digital Age)\n 	Alek Tarkowski\, OER Policy forum\n 	Wim Van Petegem\, EDEN Vice President\, KULeuven\n 	Lisa Marie Blaschke\, EDEN Vice President\, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg\n\n

SUMMARY:Digital skills in teaching and learning – are we on the right track?
DESCRIPTION:Recording of the discussion is available here\nDeirdre Hodson’s presentation\nFormat: Reflection on New Digital Skills Agenda from Different Countries \nIntroduction: Information and Communication technologies have become in a short period of time the basic element of modern society which leads to pressing demand for digital skills and competencies. More and more jobs require knowing of ICT\, and at the same time great number of people in EU do not yet have basic digital skills. It is predicted that in 10 years all professions\, although not directly connected with ICT\, will require digital skills in order to improve their efficiency.  Therefore it is of great importance to ensure modern and quality education which will enable future employees’ knowledge and competencies needed for the 21st market. \nThe European Commission has adopted a new Skills Agenda for Europe. The agenda aims to make sure that people develop the skills necessary for the jobs of today and tomorrow. The agenda calls on European Union countries and stakeholders to improve the quality of skills and their relevance for the labour market. It looks to reduce the number of Europeans lacking adequate reading\, writing\, numeracy and digital skills. \nThe aim of this webinar is to reflect on new skills agenda and to get European countries’ view on need for digital skills\, especially from the educational perspective. \nPresenters: \n\nTackling the digital skills gap in the EU – policies and programmes\, Deirdre Hodson\, Policy Officer\, European Commission DG Education and Culture\n\nDeveloping digital skills – a bottom-up strategy in Romania\, Diana Andone\, Director of the eLearning Center at the Politehnica University of Timisoara\, Romania\n\nGetting connected: Enhancing digital competences through curriculum internationalization in higher education\, Helga Dorner\, Centre for Teaching and Learning at the Central European University\, Hungary\n\nDigital skills in teaching and learning: the case of Spain\, Montse Guitert Catasús\, Director\, Digital Competencies Program (psychology and science education)\, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya\, Spain\n\nInnovations and challenges in technology enhanced learning: teacher perspectives\,  Margarita Teresevičienė\, Airina Volungevičienė\, Lithuanian Distance and eLearning (LieDM) association

SUMMARY:European Distance Learning Week
DESCRIPTION:In cooperation with the National Distance Learning Week (NDLW) in the US\, organised by the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA)\nAfter a successful partnership between EDEN and USDLA in organizing National Distance Learning Week (NDLW) in the US in 2015\, EDEN organised the first European Distance Learning Week (EDLW)\, further expanding upon its collaboration with the US and other EDEN international partnerships. \n5 webinars with 354 registered participants were held. The participants came from 41 different countries including 15 countries from outside Europe from Canada to Brazil\, from South Africa to Nepal\, encompassing all 4 continents (Europe\, Asia\, Africa\, America)  and demonstrating a strong geographical coverage and a substantial outreach. \n123 participants eventually turned up. 27 facilitators contributed to the successful implementation of this initiative\, among them representatives of the European Commission and the Lifelong Learning Platform. EDEN thanks the valuable contribution of the facilitators and hope that this initiative successfully contributed to the European dialog about the present state and the future of open and distance learning. All participants and facilitators receive EDEN open badges for their contribution. \nThe presenters’ slides can be viewed on EDEN’s SlideShare page\, while the recordings can be accessed through the webinars’ separate pages. \nBased on the success of the first year\, we hope that we can maintain the interest in the subject and European Distance Learning Weeks will be organised also in the coming year. \n[postlist count=-1 pt=”eden_conference” tax_name=”eden_conference_category” term_slugs=”edlw-2016″ part=”conference” masonry=true] \n\nOther contributions from European education organisations to European Distance Learning Week organised by EDEN\nEducation Policy and Digitalization\nMonday\, November 7\, 2016\, 14:00-15:00 CET\nTitle: Across the German borders: Digital Higher Education in the EU\nVirtual venue address\nFormat: Presentation and discussions\nModerator: Philip Meyer\, research associate at e-teaching.org\nPresenters: Prof. Dr. Ulf Ehlers (Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg)\, Christine Redecker (Institute for Prospective Technological Studies\, IPTS\, Sevilla)\, Sandra Kucina Softic\, ( EDEN Vice-President)\nRecording of the discussion is available here \nNational webinar by SADE The Swedish Association for Distance Education\,  Sweden\nFriday\, November 11\, 2016\, 14:00-15:00 CET\nTitle: The Open University at Åbo (Turku) Akademi University and Novia University of Applied Sciences\, Finland\nFormat: Presentation and discussions\nModerator: Ebba Ossiannilsson\, EDEN EC\, EDEN Fellow and EDEN NAP\, Swedish Association for Distance Education\, Sweden\nPresenters: Majlen Saarinen\,  Educational Director at the Centre for Lifelong Learning at Åbo (TURKU) Akademi University and Novia University of Applied Sciences\, FINLAND\nRecording of the discussion is available here \nEDEN also contributes to USDLA National Distance Learning Week with additional webinars.
