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).

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?

SUMMARY:No 8 - Practical Tips for Learning and Instructional Design
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\n Facing the overnight change that there are no more f2f lectures\, at least for some time\, a number of teachers have had to now think about how to organize their courses in online environment. 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.

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?

Most governments around the world have temporarily closed educational institutions in order to contain the spread of the COVID -19 pandemic. UNESCO estimates that more than 850 million children and young people – about 80% of the global student population – have had to stay away from schools and universities due to pandemic COVID 19. Nationwide closures are in effect in some 110 countries and local closures in many others. This means more than doubling the number of students prevented from attending educational institutions\, and a further increase is expected during this Covid 19 pandemic. From one day to the next\, teachers around the world have found themselves managing virtual classrooms\, communicating with their students over social media platforms and learning by doing as they provide education from a distance to over 1.5 billion students affected by school closures due to the Covid-19 pandemic. So when education moves home\, what are the implications for students\, academics\, administrators\, and education leaders \nSome questions that will be discussed \nDuring the webinar\, the questions of why\, what\, who\, how\, and when will be discussed when education moves home\, and what the implications are for students\, academics\, administrators and education managers. \n\nThe differences between emergency distance learning and online learning will be discussed.\nHow can high-quality education be facilitated\, promoted and offered despite many challenges?\nHow can academics and learners be protected\, supported and recognized?\nWhat kind of lessons will we learn from Covid19 and what challenges do we face?\nOne obvious problem is that the “educational business” will not be the same as it is today.\n\n  \nWhen education moves home: implications for students\, academics\, administrators\, and education leaders\nMonday\, 6 April\, 2020\, 17:00 CET \nModerator\n Diana AndoneEDEN Vice-president\, PUT https://elearning.upt.ro/diana-andone/Dr. Andone runs the team who developed the university’s award winning Virtual Campus CVUPT and is also a professor at the Politehnica University of Timisoara\, Romania\, in the area of multimedia and web technologies.

SUMMARY:2020 Timisoara
DESCRIPTION:EDEN 2020 Annual Conference\, Politehnica University of Timisoara\, Romania \n\n\n\nHuman and artificial intelligence for the society of the future  \n\n\n\nInspiring digital education for the next STE(A)M student generation\n\n\n\n\nIn the end\, all innovation is social innovation and technologies become real when they change social practices.Ilkka Tuomi\, EDEN Bruges Conference keynote 2019 \n\n\n\n\n“Education is back where it belongs – at the top of the European policy agenda” stated the European Commission. We intend that Europe will be considered a strong and allied partner to future generations\, and that the EU education system must make our societies future proof. \n\n\n\nEducation is often envisioned in terms of innovation\, excellence and competitiveness. But learning is also about reaching personal perfection\, using a holistic approach that supports personal and professional development\, learner needs and self-realization across different learning environments. \n\n\n\nThat education can be a social elevator and a vehicle to ensuring a sustainable society is acknowledged. Education delivers the social contract. Skills become obsolete when social\, cultural and material contexts change. Creativity contributes to diversity and innovation\, thus Europe’s cultural and creative sector is recognized as a substantial resource and driver for innovation and growth.  \n\n\n\nDigital education has proven to change learning and working practices in the society of today. The reality of lifelong learning towards sustainable life remains as urgent as ever. Intelligence\, human and artificial\, is in focus\, and understanding students and their learning and application of new technologies in education inspires further development.  \n\n\n\nTo prepare our students for this complex\, challenging and exciting future we can use digital tools and methods to enhance and enable problem-based approaches to  the creative process\, student inquiry\, dialogue and critical thinking\, experiential learning\, and collaboration\, providing students with opportunities and skills to  make connections between concepts and build productive networks. \n\n\n\nSkills in Science\, Technology\, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) represent an important part of basic literacy in today’s knowledge economy. With the inclusion of a critical component – the human being\, STE(A)M Education integrates the arts – humanities\, languages\, dance\, drama\, music\, visual arts\, design and digital media. \n\n\n\nEducation offers incredible potential for the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies\, with several significant opportunities — and challenges — that the introduction of artificial intelligence could bring\, especially to higher education. Increasingly\, higher education institutions\, as well as adult and professional learning are being transformed by intelligent systems that are helping humans learn better and achieve their learning objectives. The breadth of areas in which AI is already inserted in education includes intelligent tutors or chatbots\, personalized learning\, smart teaching\, learning analytics\, reducing student drop-off\, education administration\, data privacy and ethics.  A balanced relation between Artificial and Human intelligence can create trusted\, flexible\, personalized and inclusive digital learning eco-systems. \n\n\n\n\nThe EDEN 2020 Conference will focus on contemporary educational concepts\, leading practice\, approaches and tools which help to enhance the innovative power of cutting-edge digital solutions\, and integrating the synergetic effects of arts\, the human and social dimension. \n\n\n\n\nPhD Symposium Timisoara 2020\n\n\n\nThe EDEN 2020 PhD Symposium Timisoara will be organized on 21 June 2020. \n\n\n\nThe Symposium\, held in previous years in Barcelona (2018)\, Bruges (2019) and Dublin (2019)\, has been designed to foster the exchange of experiences and knowledge among doctoral students doing research in the area of technology enhanced online\, digital\, open and distance learning\, providing a valuable forum for the advancement of doctoral research. The Symposium is led by a panel of international experts. \n\n\n\nMore information about EDEN PhD Symposium is here. \n\n\n\nTimisoara European Capital of Culture 2021\n\n\n\nThe Conference will significantly benefit from the recognized cultural and digital  environment that the city of Timisoara offers\, as it celebrates creativity and innovation as the 2021 European Capital of Culture. \n\n\n\nPolitehnica100 – 100 years of higher education in Banat\n\n\n\nPolitehnica University of Timisoara celebrates in 2020 its first century of academic excellence. Established in November 1920\, shortly after Romania’s Unification\, through the Decree signed by King Ferdinand\, it is the first higher education institution in West Romania\, in Banat region. As Timisoara became a university city\, it started growing and its attractiveness for all kinds of investments increased\, but still keeping the young and innovative spirit and promoting its image of avant-garde in Romanian and European science. \n\n\n\nOpen University UK 50\n\n\n\nDuring the conference\, we would like to pay tribute to the flagship open university of Europe\, EDEN’s founding member and birthplace\, the Open University UK. The OU celebrates its 50th Anniversary and has been playing in partnership with EDEN leading role in developing the impact of the European open and distance learning conferences since 1992. \n\n\n\nMicro-credentialing in European Higher Education\n\n\n\nAligned to the themes of the conference\, the final symposium of the Erasmus+ MicroHE initiative will focus on Micro-credentialing. In order to make micro-credentials a pillar of university service\, the project has been working on the impact of modularisation\, including the first European survey on micro-credentials in HE\, proposing a meta-data standard and launching an online clearinghouse to facilitate recognition\, transfer and portability of micro-credentials in Europe. \n\n\n\nDigitalCulture\n\n\n\nTo highlight the digital culture aspect of the conference a special section will be dedicated to digital education for the creative industries\, as part of the Erasmus+ DigiCulture project for improving the digital competences and social inclusion of adults in creative industries. The ‘Digital Skills for Creative Industries and Culture Courses’\, as a blended learning and online courses (MOOCs) and the achievement of Open Badges for Digital Competences indicates the important role the digital education has for the creative industries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConference Proceedings and Book of Abstracts:\n\n\n\nWe are pleased to announce that the Electronic Conference Proceedings (ISSN 2707-2819) and the Short Paper Book (Human and Artificial Intelligence for the Society of the Future – Inspiring Digital Education for the Next STE(A)M Student Generation\, ISBN 978-615-5511-28-8) are available online.

SUMMARY:AI and Understanding Learning
DESCRIPTION:Watch the Recording \nDescription\nArtificial Intelligence (AI) has become more relevant in the last years in the education and training landscape. AI may be characterized as started with machine learning (ML) as a path to humanlike intelligence. ML can treat an ocean of data with data mining techniques\, data analytics and other similar approaches. And forms of AI have been developed\, based on ML\, with algorithms for vision\, speech recognition\, reasoning\, navigation\, etc.. Most of these approaches have been used in education and training. The reasoning and decision making associated with AI are the main advances that can help understanding the effectiveness of teaching and of training. Assessment of learning is fundamental to improve teaching and training. Learning is a personal and individual action and AI\, as an outsider and independent procedure\, may help the assessment of acquisition of learning. The webinar addresses some experiences and projects that may bring some food for thought as possibilities for research. The topics to address are: \n\nTime to assess learning outcomes in e-learning: aligning assessment methods with the diverse set of learning outcomes project\, University of Porto\, Portugal.\nArtificial Intelligence and Assessment: In AI assessment\, a software system infers problem-specific rules for automated scoring from examples of instructor grading of student assignments\, Teaching Commons\, University of Stanford\, USA.\nKey messages on AI in Education\, Working Group on Learning\, Teaching and Assessment\, European Commission.\nChinese school using facial recognition to analyze students’ emotions: Techspot report on how identifying emotions from students with AI may improve learning.

SUMMARY:Unboxing the Textbook for an Open World
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDING View the Presentation \nPresentation & panel discussion\nDescription: \nThe textbook is an enduring staple of higher education\, occupying a key role in formal educational settings. Practices may vary greatly in educational settings as to how the costs of textbooks are borne by students. Moreover\, the role and nature of the textbook are changing rapidly in a digital world. Large\, often expensive\, paper books exist alongside digital versions which may include rich media and interactivity. The interactive elements of digital textbooks may also comprise assessments that can be summative or formative. Publishers may charge rental subscriptions for books which may be passed directly onto students increasing the costs of their education. Moreover\, these rentals are temporary. Students do not get to “Retain” access to the learning resource – the right to retain being one of the key five Rs of Open (Wiley\, 2014). How can we help unpack these issues and explore alternatives such as more open approaches? To help “unbox” the book\, this panel seeks to explore students’ use (and non-use) of textbooks for learning in higher education; what alternatives might exist; and to try and envisage textbooks and educational resources in a more open future. \nReferences: \nWiley\, D.
