SUMMARY:No. 2 - Sharing and collaborating our way out of the storm
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING VIEW THE PRESENTATIONS \nDescription\n\nDuring the last year\, with education restrictions due to the global pandemic\, when educational organizations across the globe were forced to move online under demanding timelines and with budget constraints\, many educators have relied on open educational resources OERs to fill a critical need. Open education and OERs have been used for two decades at different education levels\, not always gaining full traction in schools or higher education. In this webinar\, we will identify whether OERs were a solution or being used in the last year in education; and how OERs may be used in the future. In our quest for shaping the future of higher education\, do we consider open education a solution and OERs and practices as part of the education ecosystem?  What problems might OERs help educators resolve and how we can harness the value of OERs for higher education?  Can we consider the future of education is open and\, if yes\, what strategies can we use to make this happen? Three dynamic and insightful speakers with extended experiences and whose voices are valued and command attention in the education community\, will try to inspire us for how to share and collaborate our way through the storm that has encapsulated higher education. \nModerator\nDiana AndoneEDEN Vice-president\,Director of the eLearning Center of Politehnica University of Timisoara\, Romania \n\nDr. Diana Andone is the Director of the eLearning Center of Politehnica University of Timisoara\, Romania\, responsible for planning and implementing digital education\, and the university award winning Virtual Campus CVUPT.

DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING VIEW THE PRESENTATIONS \nDescription\n\nIndeed\, today most teachers and educators work in an online learning environment\, yet for many of them their immersion in online teaching was a necessary response to the global pandemic. Overnight we changed physical\, traditional\, learning environment to an online environment. This brought many challenges for teachers. A high number of them needed different and new skills and experiences in teaching as well as the support and collaboration with people of different backgrounds and expertise. Support units\, learning technologists and instructional and learners designers now become more than ever in focus by extensively helping teachers to navigate this new environment and select appropriate tools for planned activities\, to implement new pedagogies\, and to design efficient\, effective and enjoyable learning experience for their students.  Learning designers across the globe led teachers out of the storm.  The pandemic forced steps forward and an online pivot that were planned and foreseen for many years and prompted teachers everywhere into action by opening new opportunities for teaching and learning and highlighting the critical importance of learning design. In addition\, it has moved the focus from content creation to the users learning experience supported by appropriate learning environments. How teachers navigated these pedagogical changes\, what kind of challenges they experienced and what kind of support they required with designing their courses is the topic of this session. \nDuring the session\, we will also discuss the questions: \n\nWhat is learning design in 2021 and post-pandemic?\nHow does learning design differ from instructional design?\nWhat is next for the learning designer?\nWhat is the future of the learning designer’s role?\nWhere does the learner designer fit in the new digital learning ecology?\nWhat barriers do learning designers face?\nHow can reflective learning design improve student experience?\n\nModerator\nDr. Sandra Kučina SoftićEDEN President\, University Computing Centre \n\nSandra Kučina Softić is EDEN president and Assistant Director for Education and User Support at the University of Zagreb University Computer Centre (SRCE).

SUMMARY:What do I do as an educator with learning analytics?
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING \nDescription\nIn this interactive webinar for EDEN\, we will share lived experiences of how four organisations in six countries are using learning analytics on a daily basis. Some of these organisations have implemented learning analytics at an institutional scale\, while others have created more specific and bespoke applications and practices. At least two of these organisations provide rich learning analytics data directly to students\, while all four also provide rich and aggregate data to educators. For example\, at Nottingham Trent University students can easily access their own data about how engaged they are with their studies. At Maastricht University in one course students are given their own data about their learning dispositions and engagement data\, which they use for learning statistics and afterwards use to reflect on their practice. In other institutions like the Open University over 3000 teachers are given weekly data about their students via interactive dashboards\, and whether (or not) the predictive learning analytics system predicts whether a student will pass the next assignment. At Mountain Heights Academy\, an online high school in the US\, teachers are using an Action Dashboard (or data-driven to-do list) to spend more time reaching out to their students rather than clicking through disparate systems to find the data they need to intervene with struggling students. In this webinar we specifically will focus on the role of the educator\, and how you could use learning analytics in your own classroom. Each of the five speakers will provide practical examples of their practice\, and you will be able to work with real-examples of how to consider applying learning analytics. \n  \nType of session: presentations with discussion\nModerator\nIgor BalabanEDEN NAP SC memberAssociate Professor at FOI\, Vice-dean for science\, international cooperation and projects\, and Head of Laboratory for advanced technologies in e-learning\, University of Zagreb\, Croatia \nIgor Balaban is Associate Professor at FOI\, Vice-dean for science\, international cooperation and projects\, and Head of Laboratory for advanced technologies in e-learning.

SUMMARY:Role of the openness in shaping of the post-pandemic education (Role of international associations)
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING \nPanel discussion\nDescription:We are facing the biggest disruption of education in history caused by the global health pandemic and it is more important than ever to ensure access to education. As schools closed\, over a billion of students have been hampered from learning in the way they used to\, and inequalities in access to education have become even more evident. If we take the position that education is common good and should be reachable and available to all\, it is our obligation to join efforts and work in this direction. Open Educational Resources (OER) can help in achieving inclusive education aiming to ensure that learners with diverse needs and preferences (such as those with disabilities) have equal opportunities in accessing learning resources\, services\, and learning experience in general. The Open Education movement is evolving\, and besides creating and publishing OERs\, focus is shifting to Open Education Practices that can be implemented using OER. It is evident that the Covid-19 crisis has resulted in a paradigm shift in how learners of all ages\, worldwide\, can access learning. It is\, therefore essential\, more than ever that the global community come together now to foster universal access to information and knowledge through OER. In this session\, we plan to discuss what actions and approaches could be taken by international associations and communities to contribute to this goal.Questions that will be discussed: \n\nWhy is openness in education and research still an issue?\nHow can collaboration and exchange of experience contribute to expanded understanding of benefits of open education?\nHow to foster OERs to support learners and educational professionals in online learning? What experiences and initiatives have there been so far?\nHow can the visibility of best practices be ensured?\nHow can the adoption of OEP in higher education be obtained?\nDoes the application of OER and OEP vary depending on the educational level (pre-school to adult education)?\nHas the demand for MOOCs and short non-degree courses changed during pandemic?\n\nModerator:Ebba OssiannilssonProfessor\, Dr.\, EDEN EC\, EDEN Fellow\, EDEN SIG TEL QESwedenProfessor\, Dr. Ebba Ossiannilsson is a Consultant\, Expert\, Influencer and Quality Assessor in the field of open\, flexible\, online\, and distance learning\, is an advocate and promotes and improves open and online learning in the context of SDG4\, and Futures of education.

SUMMARY:Supporting teaching and learning in schools through OER: Lessons from the pandemic
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING \nPresentations & panel discussion\nDescription:As a result of the impact of Covid-19\, schools across Europe and the world had to close for long periods. Learning activities had to be conducted remotely. The massive transition of the European school system to online learning was facilitated by the large number of open educational resources available on the internet. OERs and MOOCs could be found in dedicated aggregator portals\, institutional repositories curated by universities\, foundations and public agencies or through individual recommendations by peers. Teachers were advised to actively search\, use and share them.In the webinar a number of experts\, representing the European Commission\, Unesco\, universities\, NGOs and the school system\, will discuss how OER use and reuse has expanded during the pandemic and how this has contributed to support the quality of teaching and learning during these challenging times. They will also analyse what is the role of OERs in the ongoing digital transformation of schools. \nModerator:António TeixeiraEDEN Senior FellowAssociate Professor\, Universidade Aberta\, Lisbon\, PortugalAntónio Teixeira is an Associate Professor of open\, distance and network education at Universidade Aberta (UAb).

SUMMARY:Insights from an internationally co-developed MOOC on digital citizenship
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING \nWebinar\nDescription:Within the Erasmus+ NEXUS project\, a MOOC on active digital citizenship has recently been developed\, with the rationale that\, due to recent influx of migrants into Europe\, a majority of European universities have a student population who are excluded from broader civic or political participation. In a way that is different from the typical MOOCs\, that are designed and developed by a single professor\, as a “translation” of face-to-face teaching practices in to a massive online experience\, the NEXUS MOOC was conceived\, designed\, developed and reviewed in a fully collaborative fashion among six organizations from different countries. The webinar will reflect on this experience\, that was both extremely enriching for the participating groups and contributed to the coexistence of different perspectives within the MOOC\, while being less effective from a production point of view. The underlying question of the webinar will be: can a break-even point between international co-production and effectiveness be found within MOOCs? \nModerator:Timothy ReadEDEN Vice-President for Open Professional CollaborationSenior Lecturer in Computer Languages and Systems\, UNED – Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia\, Madrid\, SpainTimothy Read is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Languages and Systems at UNED.

SUMMARY:The Great EODL Week Debate: Online Learning  vs. Traditional Face-to-Face Models of Education
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING VIEW THE PRESENTATIONS \nDebate\nDescription:The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in many universities and colleges rapidly pivoting to online learning in response to unprecedented times. While 2020 has been described as the year of “the great onlining” of higher education there remains a common perception that online learning is inferior to traditional face-to-face models of education. This debate aims to confront this perception as two teams respond to the moot\, “this house believes that online learning is just as good as traditional face-to-face models of education”. The debate is intended to address this serious issue as panel members present and reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of online learning in comparison to traditional delivery modes in both a scholarly and entertaining manner.

In 2015\, he was awarded the title of EDEN Fellow from the Executive Committee of the European Distance and E-Learning Network in recognition of the work he has undertaken in this area.Title: The need for the agile cross-institutional recognition and validation of prior learning: fear\, uncertainty\, and doubt! What the ECCOE system has to offerSummary: The European Commission has noted the difficulties that limit the cross-institutional recognition of higher education and upper secondary diplomas. Any automatic mutual recognition that they might highlight as being desirable still seems a long way off\, even though the advantages are clear both for students and institutions. As an important step towards such a solution to this problem\, the ECCOE system (European Credit Clearinghouse for Opening up Education)\, represents an attempt to facilitate the endorsement and appropriation of open\, online and flexible higher education by increasing trust in technology-enabled credentials among students\, higher education institutions (HEIs) and employers. The role of Model Credit Recognition Agreements (MCRAs) will be discussed together with aspects of their use that have emerged from the first round of an in-house peer review of their functionality. A reflection will follow on what might be needed for a successful future wide-spread adoption of the ECCOE system. \n\nAlicia MiklavčičEURASHE Alicia Leonor Sauli Miklavčič is Head of Development at the Slovene Association HVC\, a member of the EURASHE Board and Working Group on Employability & LLL\, an expert on Short Cycle Higher Education.

The prototype enables management of identity\, apprenticeship design\, recording details of placements\, assigning and documenting learning activities during placement\, monitoring progress per competence\, feedback & evaluation\, assessment and reporting\, as well as database of final credentials. The presentation will include a good practice of distant apprenticeship as well as the final conclusions of the survey among students and teachers on distance learning during the Covid19 lockdown. \n  \n\nMatti IsokallioEUproVET  Matti Isokallio has been in different positions in the field of education more than 20 years. He worked in regional University of Applied Science more than a decade.

Currently he is director of regional VET provider and president of EUproVET\, one of the European VET provider associations. Isokallio chairs international WG of AMKE. AMKE is Finnish VET providers association.Title: Innovative teaching and guidance provision\, case FinlandSummary: Finland has combined all VET legislation in one law since 2018. In vocational education and training\, work-based learning is planned as part of the student’s personal competence development plan. For work-based learning\, students have either an apprenticeship agreement or a training agreement. This has put VET providers in a challenging position to offer high quality teaching and guidance in all forms including digital teaching and guidance. \n
