SUMMARY:MicroHE Expert Panel Workshop
DESCRIPTION: WATCH THE RECORDING VIEW THE PRESENTATIONSThe event will take place in EDEN’s dedicated Adobe Connect room – Join us there! \nDescription\nNew trends emerged in higher education in the last few decades. The delivery methods rapidly changed: part of the courses are now provided in digital or blended form. This got a strong „push” in the time of Covid-19. The rapidly changing labor market also calls for shorter\, industry-specific courses. The degree courses are more and more modularized: smaller\, well defined „chunks” are delivered as SLP-s (electronic short learning programmes\, MOOCS\, etc). This trends should be reflected also in the form of recognition and credentialisation: there is a need to award short learning courses and other learning achievements with some form of credetials.The European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance (ESG 2015) also call on Higher Education Institutions to enable flexible learning pathways\, use different modes of delivery and encourage a sense of autonomy in learners.Micro-credentials can do just that. Taking it simle\, a micro-credential is a subunit of a credential that can be stacked into a larger credential. As Anthony Camilleri formulated in the Masterclass on Micro-credentials in Bled (Slovenia) „For higher education institutions\, micro-credentials require an educational moonshot of our times.”The webinar will discusse the state-of-art of micro-credentials\, based on the results produced by the MicroHE project.The project assessed the adequacy of European recognition instruments for micro-credentials\, in particular ECTS\, the diploma supplement and qualification frameworks\, proposed a ’credit-supplement’ with detailed information about micro-credentials in a way compatible with ECTS\, and created a meta-data standard for verifyable micro-credentials. \nModerator\nFerenc Tátrai\, PhdSenior advisor of EDEN Graduated as chemical engineer at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (TUB) and got his MA degree in applied mathematics at Eötvös Loránd University.

SUMMARY:NDLW - EDEN Contributions
DESCRIPTION:The United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) annual National Distance Learning Week will be held on 7-11 November\, 2016. After our successful collaboration last year\, EDEN is yet again proud to be the global partner of the event\, and contribute to the official programme with webinars on teacher creativity (K12 focus)\, educational leadership (HE focus)\, open badges and home and hospital education. \nThe webinars on Tuesday\, Wednesday and Thursday will be held in EDEN’s Adobe Connect room\, while Friday’s webinar will be held in the LeHo project’s own Adobe Connect room. If you are not familiar with this tool\, please log in before the start to test and adjust your settings\, an EDEN colleague will be there to support you. \nTuesday\, 8 November 2016\, 9:00-10:00 EST or 15:00-16:00 CET \nAnimation creation as a learning tool \nModerator: Kriszta Mihályi\, Director of Operations\, EDEN\nRecording of the webinar \nThe aim of animation creation as a learning tool (pedagogical method for K-12) is to create short animated films\, working in small groups by using simple technology\, to cover a specific topic of the curriculum. The purpose is NOT to produce artistic pieces of work but to experiment and enjoy the process and the result of creation. \nThe greatest value of the method is its power to motivate pupils/students in learning and the effect on the development of their 21st century skills such as communication\, creativity\, cooperation and critical thinking. The method has been developed and tested within the context of several consecutive European projects initiated and lead by the Danish animation Workshop and the experts of Aalborg University (led by Prof. Lisa Gjedde): ‘Teaching with Animation’ (2005-2007); ‘Animated Science’ (2007- 2009); ‘Animated Learning’ (2009-2011). The method was transferred to the Hungarian context applied for the facilitation of learning in vocational schools within the ‘AnimClass’ (2011-2013) project\, coordinated by the Corvinus University of Budapest (Kriszta Mihalyi and Kata Kovacs). \nWednesday\, 9 November 2016\, 9:00-10:00 EST or 15:00-16:00 CET \nTransforming Universities for the Digital Age: policies\, business models\, resources\nModerator: Dr. András Szűcs\, Secretary General\, EDEN\nRecording of the webinar \nThe goal of D-TRANSFORM is to implement a training program for leaders of European universities (presidents\, vice-presidents) focusing on the major role played by digital technologies and Open Educational Resources (OER) in the necessary transformation of their institutions. The premise is that e-education (digital pedagogy and training) can become a strategic tool for European universities\, enabling them to be pedagogically more effective\, more cost-effective\, more attractive and able to meet the needs of the professional world with regard to youth training and life-long learning. \nDuring this webinar we will focus on a comparative survey between Spain\, France\, Italy and the United Kingdom on public digital policies and an overview on the business models for opening up education – Sustainability of MOOCs\, OER and related online education approaches in higher education in Europe. We will be also try to answer the question of whether Open Educational Resources are a lever for digital transition of higher education. \nThursday\, 10 November 2016\, 9:00-10:00 EST or 15:00-16:00 CET \nHow to design open badges? \nModerator: Ildikó Mázár\, Deputy Secretary General\, EDEN\nRecording of the webinar \nSome may be advocates\, while other are skeptics\, but these days most educational practitioners are familiar with the concept of open badges. So you know how they are being used but do you want to learn how to create your own open badges? This practical webinar\, that is a preliminary teaser of a more comprehensive MOOC being developed by the Open Badge Network project\, will fast track you through the open badge design process. \nThe aim of the one-hour session is to highlight how open badges can serve to promote the acquisition and demonstration of soft skills demanded by the 21st century labour market. You will be allowed\, and are encouraged\, to make your own choice of badge-able skill\, competence\, achievement or event and begin the work with a head start by downloading and printing the open badge canvas to familiarise yourself with the steps of the design process. If you do not have the time to prepare\, you can simply follow the moderator’s demonstration. \nFriday\, 11 November 2016\, 9:00-10:00 EST or 15:00-16:00 CET \nCreating meaningful learning for children with a medical condition: Key educational factors and related ICT solutions\nModerator: John Dennis\, Universitá di Perugia\nRecording of the webinar \nMeaningful learning for children with a medical condition starts with understanding the Key Educational Factors (e.g. Relationships\, Making sense and constructing knowledge). These factors\, while universal for the education of every child\, take on new meaning for children with medical needs. Two focus groups were completed to better understand the role of these factors for the education of children with medical needs and how ICT implementation might help in the process of recognising and remedying these factors.
