SUMMARY:No. 5 - Why research is important for enhancing the human experience of learning with technology: Taking a peek into the EDEN Research Workshop program
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDINGRegistered webinar participants will be awarded by EDEN open badges.  \nDescription\nThis year’s EDEN Research Workshop was planned to be hosted by the prominent Universidade Aberta the Portuguese Open University\, in the beautiful city of Lisbon. Faced with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic\, EDEN is organising this workshop fully online\, taking the full advantage of the virtual environment with an exciting and extensive three-day programme. As with past research workshops\, the event will promote intensive collaboration and networking opportunities amongst participants including parallel ‘research-speed-dating’ paper sessions\, workshops and dynamic poster sessions. With a high quality programme and close to 90 submissions already\, this is the event for you to attend\, especially if you are a researcher or post graduate student.By upscaling and accelerating the adoption of distance and online education across the world\, the disruptive impact of the Coronavirus Sars CoV-2 pandemic has demonstrated the importance of rethinking the educational process as an integral part of the authentic digital life experience of its main actors. In this massive collective experience of change\, the role of educational institutions\, teachers\, learners\, and of their families and communities is rapidly transforming. As a result\, new challenges for researchers have emerged that need to be addressed: How do we assure truly equitable and socially fair access to digital learning opportunities? How can we conduct effective online learning with non-adult populations? How can we improve teachers’ and learners’ digital competences for teaching and learning? How may AI and machine learning contribute to enhancing the education process and making it more flexible and personal? How can we conduct more authentic and reliable digital assessment? What are the new challenges for research into digital\, open\, distance and networked education?In this round table\, we will provide you with a closer look into the rich and interesting programme of the EDEN Research Workshop and hold an open discussion on the challenging topics facing researchers and teachers today. \n\nModerators\nAlan TaitFormer EDEN PresidentProfessor Emeritus of Distance Education and Development\, Open University\, UKAlan Tait is an EDEN Senior Fellow.

SUMMARY:Designing online courses: a practical approach
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDINGRegistered webinar participants will be awarded by EDEN open badges. \nDescription\nLiving in these times is challenging for everyone involved in education\, students and teachers alike. Many teachers woke up one day with the obligation to transfer all their teaching to the online environment. However\, many of them lacked the knowledge on how to do this in an optimal way\, due to reasons varying from lack of ICT skills to lack of training offered by educational institutions. The question that arises here is how to efficiently transfer teaching practice online\, using the available tools\, avoiding to use learning management systems as online repositories.This webinar proposes to fill parts of the gaps existing in teachers’ knowledge related to instructional and learning design in regards to online education\, by presenting hands-on approaches already used by teachers who are experienced with online learning and especially in transferring teaching methods online.There are two main topics which will be presented during this webinar: \n\nBest practices of instructional and learning used in different online courses.\nIntegration of MOOCs in online learning courses.\n\n\nModerators\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:No. 4 – How to build communities of support for teachers?
DESCRIPTION: WATCH THE RECORDINGRegistered webinar participants will be awarded by EDEN open badges.  \nDescription\nIn the “new normal” that the ongoing pandemic is forcing us to assume\, a lot of attention has been given to the way in which students have to adapt to online or blended learning and how they can be supported. This has not necessarily been the case for teachers. The response to this situation by educational institutions has been varied\, and while most now provide the necessary tools for their teaching staff to use\, relevant training and support has often lagged behind. Although teachers are accepted experts in their fields\, that does not equip them with the knowledge or skills required to carry out their teaching activities online in an effective way. The speakers today will consider the issues related to providing support for teachers and the role communities can have in that process. In a similar way to previous webinars\, our speakers will share their expert advice and practical tips\, responding to a variety of questions such as: \n\nWhat kind of support can most benefit teachers during the ongoing pandemic?\nWhat is the value of communities of support for teachers?\nHow can teachers share their concerns and benefit from the experiences of other teachers in similar disciplines?\nIs it reasonable to expect face-to-face teachers to adapt easily to online learning. How might that adaptation process go?\nHow can we ensure students feel welcome in online spaces?\nHow is intentionally equitable hospitality an important part of building a community online?\nHow do we incorporate pedagogies of care into online community building?\n\n\nModerator\nVlad MihăescuEDEN NAP SC ChairFaculty of Electronics\, Telecommunications and Information Technology\, Politehnica University of Timisoara \nVlad Mihaescu has a PhD in educational and technological models of MOOCs and has more than 10 years’ experience as a trainer and teacher in areas like multimedia technologies\, social media\, e-tourism\, e-learning\, usability\, entrepreneurship\, programming\, soft skills and leadership.

DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING VIEW THE PRESENTATIONSRegistered webinar participants will be awarded by EDEN open badges. \nDescription\nAs a result of the COVID-19 pandemic last March\, universities worldwide faced the need to move all their classes to an online environment overnight\, in order to ensure continuation of their teaching and learning activities. Institutions that had already ventured onto the path of online education realised this transformation much more quickly than those who were less prepared. Others made the transition more modestly\, only beginning to take the first steps into online education. In a remarkable short time\, courses and exams across the globe moved online\, ensuring that universities did not close but rather adapted to the new situation and by doing so managed to save the remainder of the academic year.Having overcome the initial impact of the pandemic and having moved beyond immediate crisis management\, university leaders are now taking the time to reflect on the lessons learned\, to set new strategies for the future\, and to fully prepare their institutions for the new academic year. Although some continue to hope that students will soon return to classrooms\, others see the COVID-19 crisis as a catalyst for educational organisations to implement online teaching and learning systematically and to thus offer a better quality of education in this age of the new normal. What are the key leadership decisions that organisational leaders must make in creating their vision for the future? What short-term and long-term strategies are needed? How can leadership ensure a smooth transition to the online setting and create the necessary infrastructure for training teachers\, and implementing new teaching methods and redesigned curricula?

SUMMARY:EDEN webinar series: Education in time of a new normal
DESCRIPTION:After the swift spread of the COVD-19 pandemic this spring\, we were faced with both a physical lockdown and with education having to move fully online. Summer brought some relief and the sense that things could potentially go back to as they were before. However\, as autumn arrives\, the pandemic is again spreading and showing its force. All of us have been working hard to enable teaching and learning online\, uniting in our efforts to provide each other with support and ensure a smooth transition in the best way possible. When the pandemic first hit\, EDEN promptly responded with the #onlinetogether Education in time of a pandemic initiative \, gathering the EDEN and global education community together in order to share\, to discuss\, and to engage with each other\, forming a strong alliance in support of educators  worldwide in their pivot to online learning. \n\n\nEDEN is now moving forward with a follow-on autumn initiative of webinars. Having overcome the initial impact of the pandemic and having moved beyond immediate crisis management\, educational institutions are now taking the time to reflect on the lessons learned\, to set new strategies for the future\, and to fully prepare for the new school/academic year. Although some continue to hope that students return to classrooms for good\, others see the COVID-19 crisis as a catalyst for educational organisations to implement online teaching and learning systematically and thus offer a better quality of education in this age of the “new normal”. \nAvailable webinars\n\n\n[postlist count=-1 pt=”eden_conference” tax_name=”eden_conference_category” term_slugs=”education-in-time-of-new-normal” part=”conference” masonry=true]

SUMMARY:Accessibility and Inclusion in a Time of a Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDINGRegistered webinar participants will be awarded EDEN open badges. \nDescription\nHow do we handle situations where students do not have access to the Internet and/or technologies\, further expanding the digital divide? To address this issue different stakeholders’ effort is required. Government funding to provide digital technologies for people in need should be invested\, agreements with tech-companies\, libraries\, museums and off line volunteers to provide sources and necessary skills to access resources should be signed. Different projects at international level have been carried out in different settings to respond to such needs and find empirical solutions\, especially in the use of open educational resources and personalised and adaptable learning\, building scenarios for specific targets. \n  \nQuestions to be covered over the session\n\n\nWhat is educational poverty?\nWhat impact did the pandemic have on educational poverty?\nWhat kind of solutions are available to ensuring ongoing education for marginalised groups?\nWhat is the role of technology to face such an issue?\nDoes the combination of culture and technology help to find an effective solution?\n\nModerator\nAlastair CreelmanEDEN FellowE-learning specialist at Linnaeus University\, Kalmar\, Sweden.Blog: Corridor of uncertainty – reflections on technology and educationSpecialist in the field of online and distance education based in the section for higher education development.

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:No. 11 - Developing 21st Century Skills Through Teaching Online: Opportunities and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDINGRegistered webinar participants will be awarded by EDEN open badges. \n\nIn these uncertain times due to the Coronavirus COVID-19\, many of us are struggling with the adjustment to working and teaching online. Where do you begin? How do you manage the process?To address these questions and many others\, EDEN is organising a series of practical webinars entitled “EDEN webinar series: Education in time of a pandemic #onlinetogether #covid19”. These webinars are featuring experts and experienced practitioners within the field of open\, distance\, and e-learning.The weekly\, one-hour sessions are held every Monday at 17:00 CEST\, from March through June\, 2020. \n  \nREAD MORE \n\nDescription\nDigital technologies are an integral part of our society today\, and the development of information and communication technologies is one of the biggest revolutions in the field of human communication and information management. Information and communication technologies affect all aspects of society\, as well as learning\, teaching and research\, offering the potential for innovation and for better and greater development of the skills needed for the labour market. In today’s education system\, we have students who were born in the 21st century and with unlimited access to information\, who use digital technologies on a daily basis\, and who no longer want to passively listen and memorize information served. They expect to leave the education system with the knowledge and skills that they need to be employable in the labour market\, to have the capability to be lifelong learners and to actively participate in and contribute to society. Faced with an overnight change in how education is delivered\, students and teachers have had to adapt to a new situation\, learning new technologies\, ways of teaching and learning\, time management\, communication\, and collaboration. In this session\, we will introduce you to the topic of future skills and engage you in a discussion on the skills needed to be active learners and participants in today’s society.In addition to providing examples of how teachers from a number of international educational contexts have developed online teaching methods to overcome the challenges of the current lockdown conditions\, our panelists will also provide insights into the following questions: \n\nWhat is meant by 21st century learning skills and how do these connect to the global issues facing the 21st Century?\nTo what extent are these 21st skills new or different from skills that have been required to live and work in early centuries (for example\, in the 20th century)?\nHow can we overcome the challenges of helping students develop 21st Century skills within the context of remote and ‘socially-distant teaching’?\n\n\nModerator\nSandra Kučina SoftićEDEN PresidentUniversity Computing Centre SRCE\, Croatia \n \nSandra Kučina Softić is the Assistant Director for Education and User Support at the Zagreb University Computing Centre (Croatia).

SUMMARY:No. 10 - How do we plan for education after the pandemic?
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDINGRegistered webinar participants will be awarded by EDEN open badges. \n\nIn these uncertain times due to the Coronavirus COVID-19\, many of us are struggling with the adjustment to working and teaching online. Where do you begin? How do you manage the process?To address these questions and many others\, EDEN is organising a series of practical webinars entitled “EDEN webinar series: Education in time of a pandemic #onlinetogether #covid19”. These webinars are featuring experts and experienced practitioners within the field of open\, distance\, and e-learning.The weekly\, one-hour sessions are held every Monday at 17:00 CEST\, from March through June\, 2020. \n  \nREAD MORE \n\nDescription\nThe EDEN “#onlinetogether – Education in time of a pandemic”. webinars will be twinned on 2 June with the similar campaign of ICDE”#learningtogether” For this online event the topic: How to anticipate the global future educational landscape after the pandemic was choosen. UNESCO reported in May that about 75% of pupils and students cannot attend F2F classes. Fully online education on a global scale is unprecedented in history. Today we are talking about the “new normal” and “future normal”. What it is going to look alike?  In this panel\, distinguished speakers will reflect on and share their insights into the present situation in education.We will also try to provide answers to following questions: \n\nHow do you see this situation where all education has moved online? Can online and distance learning replace F2F learning? Some of the campus-based universities have already decided to start this autumn with online classes.\nHow can HEI’s and/or governments address issues of inclusivity\, when both students and staff throughout the world don’t have access to reliable internet or electricity?\nCritics have called online education to be “elitist\,” how are we able to combat that stereotype and truly make remote education affordable and accessible for all?\nWhat is the role of associations such as EDEN and ICDE in this process and how can they contribute to education\, especially in these times?\nWhat steps do institutions have to take to fully embrace the digital transformation and provide education accessible to students?\nIt is unlikely that we will be able to return to the situation we had before the pandemic\, so how do you foresee the future of education?\nSome teachers see online teaching as a temporary measure to be adopted until we return to the previous normal. Is this the case?\nAre public campus universities endangered by distance-teaching ones\, MOOCs and other online programmes?\nWhat about universities that did not previously use any form of e-learning system? What kind of challenges do they face?\nHow can F2F HEI teachers be provided with proper training in the digital skills they need for online teaching and learning?\nStudents and teachers value human contact\, how can this be guaranteed in virtual environments?\n\n\nModerator\nMark BrownEDEN TreasurerProfessor and Director of the National Institute for Digital Learning at Dublin City University\, Chair of the ICDE World Conference on Online Learning (Dublin) \nMark is Ireland’s first Professor of Digital Learning and Director of the National Institute for Digital Learning (NIDL) at Dublin City University (DCU).

For those already using digital technologies and running blended courses\, it was not such a demanding task\, but for those who teach predominantly in the classroom environment\, it have been quite a sudden an often overwhelming challenge. When now engaging in online learning\, a number of teachers are making first steps looking into how and where to start\, how online teaching should look like\, how to engage with students…others have had to adapt their blended way of working to the fully online mode. Online learning has brought new challenges to students\, too: although they use digital technologies in their everyday life\, online learning is new to them as well\, deprived from the physical presence of the classroom some of them feel isolated and unsecure and feel a lack support. In this webinar\, we will provide practical tips that can help teachers in designing\, structuring and delivering their online courses. We will do so by trying to give you answers to the following questions: \n  \n\nHow to transfer f2f courses to online environments?\nWhat are the necessary elements of an online course?\nIs there a difference between learning outcomes (LO) in f2f and online and how to assess LO in the online environment?\nHow to organize students’ activities to be in correlation with LO and ECTS points of the course?\nHow to make sure that an online course is not just a repository of learning materials?\nHow to ensure effective communication with students in the online environment? What should be the ratio between synchronous and asynchronous communication?\nWhat kind of audio and video resources can be used\, and how many of them to add to the course?\n\nModerator\nFabio NascimbeniHead of Learning Design\, Open University UK \nFabio Nascimbeni works as Assistant Professor on eLearning Innovation at the Universidad Internacional de la Rioja (UNIR)\, where holds the Telefonica Chair on Digital Society and Education.

SUMMARY:Teaching Online Competences: Debate in a Post Confinement Scenario
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDINGRegistered webinar participants will be awarded by EDEN open badges. \nDescription\nIn recent months teachers needed to perform their activities online without proper training. They had to perform their duties in an unknown scenario for most of them. This fact and the already existing need of a teacher online reference framework motivate the need to discuss a set of teaching online requirements. A proposal already discussed by the EDEN Executive Committee will be presented followed by experiences learned. The proposal is based on a CALOHEE publication “Guidelines and Reference Points for the Design and Delivery of Degree Programmes in Teacher Education” by Julia M. González Ferreras and Maria Yarosh. A set of competencies required to teach online for level 6 of the EQF will be presented in terms of descriptors. The debate of the webinar is expected to be useful to tune the future terms of reference and to learn from recent experiences of shifting to online mode. \n  \nYou will meet\nAlfredo SoeiroEDEN Executive Committee member\, Deputy Chair of the EDEN NAP Steering Committee\, EDEN Senior Fellow\,University of Porto\, PortugalDegrees in Civil Engineering (U.

SUMMARY:ODL Unplugged: A Question of Care
DESCRIPTION:The webinar will take place in EDEN’s dedicated Adobe Connect room – Join us there!WATCH THE RECORDINGRegistered webinar participants will be awarded by EDEN open badges.Panel Format:  Conversational and informal \nDescription\n\nAs online and distance learning (ODL) instructors\, managers or members of support teams in the current pandemic\, we are challenged with a multitude of demands on our time and energy. A central responsibility right now is providing care and support for students and ensuring that they feel safe and secure in their new online learning environments\, or supporting teachers so that they are in a position to provide that care. Many of us must also care for our children and/or other family members during the lockdown\, in addition to carrying out teaching and other work activities from home. Most importantly\, though\, we need to find the time and space for self-care: focusing on ensuring that one stays strong and healthy in order to care for others. \nDuring this session\, our panel of experts will talk about the topic of care and self-care\, particularly within online and distance learning environments. Joining our panel of experts will be Deborah Arnold from AUNEGe in France\, Dr. Paul Prinsloo from the University of South Africa\, Eszter Salamon from Parents International in The Netherlands\, and Dr. Jane Brindley from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver\, Canada.   Moderating the session will be Dr. Don Olcott\, Jr.\, Global Higher Education Consultant from Romania. We look forward to seeing you at the webinar! \n  \n\nOpening Panelist Questions – All Panelists will Answer:\n\n1) What can we learn and transfer from existing experiences in remote working with and managing remote teams to online? What else is needed to ensure self-care and care for others?2) What insights can we draw from the research on e-leadership and e-management? What other fields can help us (psychology\, sociology etc)? \n\n\nModerator\nLisa Marie BlaschkeSenior Fellow and Chair of the Board of EDEN Council of FellowsProgramme Director\, Center of Lifelong Learning (C3L)\, Oldenburg\, GermanyDr. Lisa Marie Blaschke She is a former executive committee member of the European Distance Education and E-Learning Network (EDEN) and is a Senior EDEN Fellow and Chair of the Board of the EDEN Fellows Council.

How can you help your students manage it? How can you manage it yourself?The term infodemic has been coined to outline the perils of misinformation phenomena during the management of virus outbreaks\, since it could even speed up the epidemic process by influencing and fragmenting social response (World Health Organization\, 2019; Cinelli et.\, al 2020).How has been infodemic studied so far? How can we assess learners’ digital literacy and critical thinking abilities in collaborative virtual environment (CVEs)? Starting from these questions\, the present webinar will be structured in three parts: \n\nThe concept of infodemic will be presented to see how it is possible to monitor the spreading of misleading unreliable information\, by combining Big Data and Natural Language Processing techniques (Cinelli et al.\, 2020)\nThe potential role of Critical Thinking and Digital Literacy as “antibody” for the infodemic will be discussed (Katz\, 2007)\nFinally\, a Survey session will be carried out. Data collected will be employed to develop new evidences for the automatic assessment of online learners’ Critical Thinking and Digital Literacy (Poce et al.\, 2019).\n\nQuestions to be covered over the session\n\nWhich kind of resources we can suggest to our students to manage the current infodemic?\nHow can we protect ourselves from misleading information during an infodemic?\nHow can we support the development of Critical Thinking and Digital Literacy in students?\nHow can we assess students’ Critical Thinking and Digital Literacy?\nHow can e-learning strategies be used to develop and assess students Critical Thinking and Digital Literacy?\n\nReferences\n\nCinelli\, M.\, Quattrociocchi\, W.\, Galeazzi\, A.\, Valensise\, C.
