SUMMARY:EDEN 2024 Annual Conference in Graz (Austria)
DESCRIPTION:AboutKeynotesCall For PapersPhD SymposiumKey DatesProgrammeCommitteeRegistrationVenueSocial ProgrammeUniversity Alliances \n\nConference Theme \n\n\n\nEDEN 2024 Annual Conference will be held at University of Graz\, Austria\, 16-18 June. The conference theme is “Learning in the Age of AI: Towards Imaginative Futures”.  \n\n\n\nRegistration is now open\, register to EDEN 2024 Annual Conference\, here.  \n\n\n\nPaper Submission Closed \n\n\n\nFind more information about EDEN DLE 2024 Annual Conference below: \n\n\n\n“Learning in the Age of AI: Towards Imaginative Futures”\n\n\n\nAt EDEN 2024\, we invite you to join us in a thoughtful exploration of the rapidly evolving landscape of education\, as we adapt to the ever-increasing presence of AI and digital systems. Our experiences in the journey with AI are still young and can be described as stories of trial and error\, so sharing our experiences\, expectations and hopes is vital. The digital revolution has ushered in exciting\, promising\, and imaginative changes\, but it is also testing our beliefs about learning and education. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAt EDEN 2024\, we propose the following thematic fields:\n\n\n\nHow do we promote fairness in digital learning futures? In the age of AI\, it has become evident that technology is not impartial. We must delve deep into the ethical implications of AI in education to ensure that the digital systems we implement are fair and just. How can we safeguard human decisions against AI systems that perpetuate existing inequalities or inadvertently create new disparities? How can we explore and refine strategies and practices to promote fairness and equity in AI-enhanced learning environments.  \n\n\n\nWhat is required to help foster nestedness and integration in the complex digital learning ecosystem? Our educational institutions are richly diverse\, historically grounded\, and technologically distinct. As we embrace AI in education\, we must address the intricacies of “rewilding” our educational landscapes with cutting-edge digital learning and teaching approaches. At the same time\, we need to foster meaningful connectivity and collaboration among institutions that may operate uniquely. (How) can we adapt AI solutions to accommodate the nuanced differences and interdependencies  and ensure interoperability of our educational systems\, all while working toward common goals? \n\n\n\nWhat does learner-centered pedagogy look like in reimagining the digital classroom of the future?  In an era where AI is transforming the educational landscape\, the notion of learner-centric care takes on new dimensions. Artificial Intelligence may offer unprecedented opportunities to support individual learners. However\, how can we ensure this support does not take away learner agency and be counterproductive to authentic learning experiences? Can AI-driven personalization still foster collaboration\, engagement\, and promote meaningful learning experiences? Join us to delve into AI’s potential and challenges and talk about our care for each learner and their individual educational journeys. Let’s explore the yet-uncharted territory of AI-driven learner-centric care in the digital age. \n\n\n\nWhat digital transformations  are needed for learning and teaching in the future? Keeping pace with evolving educational needs and technological advancements means designing best practices for blended\, hybrid and online learning\, transforming assessment in the encounter of AI practices as well as realizing the potential of open educational practices. These are just some of the challenges and potential transformations ahead as well as policy\, strategy and leadership needed for the next normal. \n\n\n\nIn the spirit of the EDEN community\, we welcome all contributions that connect to the proposed themes and relevant topics to do with digital learning. \n\n\n\n\n\nMonday 17th June 2024 – Keynote Speakers \n\n\n\nLidija Kralj Expert for AI and Data\, Member of the EC\, UNESCO working groups\, Croatia Keynote Title:“Treasure Hunt in AI Land” \n\n\n\nMonday 17th June – Spotlight Speakers\n\n\n\nFrancesca MaltauroDeputy Head of Unit Digital Education at the Directorate General for Education and Culture\,European Commission Juliane Jarke Professor of Digital Societies at the University of Graz\, AustriaKeynote Title:“Does AI Dream of Risk-Free Education?

The conference theme is “Learning in the Age of AI: Towards Imaginative Futures”. Submission will be open until April 5 2024. Find more information about Submission Types and Guidelines below:  \n\n\n\n\nSubmission Closed\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSubmission Types and Guidelines\n\n\n\nAuthors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments. Submissions should align to the conference theme and in the topics related to the scope of the conference (see below). All paper types will be double blind peer reviewed by members of the Scientific Committee. Find all the submission types and guidelines below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGeneral Presentation Guidelines\n\n\n\nThere is no standard presentation template at EDEN 2024 Annual Conference. This means you are free to use your own template\, but we recommend that you do so using a 16:9 ratio in PowerPoint (or PDF)\, as all rooms are equipped with a computer and projector capable of widescreen display. \n\n\n\nAs a general principle ‘less is more’ with your slides containing just enough information or a handful of well-chosen images to enhance your talk rather than acting as your ‘notes’ of what you are going to say next. In other words\, displaying an image and/or three keywords on a slide in a large font is far more effective than listing several sentences under bullet points. Also please practise your presentation so you know that you can do justice to what you want to cover in the available time. If you intend to share the talk with another presenter\, then make sure you practice together and understand how long each of you has for your section of the presentation. \n\n\n\nTo promote follow-up discussion after your talk\, we suggest that you conclude your presentation with a single question or challenging thought for delegates to ponder. Ideally\, this question or your concluding thought should refer back to the sub-theme and relate to the overarching conference theme “Learning in the Age of AI: Towards Imaginative Futures”. \n\n\n\nNote: The last presenter in each session is expected to serve as session chair. \n\n\n\nNumber of slides and time restrictions: \n\n\n\n\nFull paper: up to 20 slides\, presentation time -15 min\, discussion time – 5 min\n\n\n\nConcise paper:  up to 15 slides\, presentation time -10 min\, discussion time – 5 min.\n\n\n\n\nNote: You do not need to send your presentations beforehand\, but please bring them to the conference and transfer the presentation file to the session computer before the start of the session.  \n\n\n\nThere are three different paper submission categories: \n\n\n\nFull paper – A Full Paper allows you to present a slightly longer account of your work. This presentation format is better suited to sharing the findings of case studies\, research projects or more mature innovations related to the conference theme/topics which allow you to provide a richer analysis\, description and interpretation of the work. Importantly\, a Full Paper should identify the main implications or discussion points which will be of wider interest to conference participants. The paper length is 2500 to 3500 words\, including tables\, figures and references. If your Full Paper is accepted\, the presentation time is a maximum of 15 minutes and 5 minutes for questions (i.e.\, 20 minutes in total).  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nDownload Full Paper Template\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConcise paper – A Concise Paper allows you to present a shorter summary of your work. This presentation format is ideally suited to small projects\, new and emerging areas and works in progress. The format allows you to showcase and/or offer a brief snapshot of your work\, with a specific focus on the main findings or discussion points that should be of wider interest to conference participants. The length of a Concise Paper abstract should be 200-500 words. If your Concise Paper is accepted\, the presentation time is 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions (i.e.\, 15 minutes in total). \n\n\n\n\nDownload Concise Paper Template\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster – A Poster allows you to present your work on a poster board which will be on display throughout the conference. This format is ideal for showcasing and/or offering a brief snapshot of your work in order to generate more interest and follow up conversations with conference participants. The author(s) need to bring the printed poster to the conference and attach it on the poster board when they arrive at the conference venue. There will be a dedicated poster session in the conference programme\, but we encourage presenters to be available to discuss their work during the refreshment breaks. Poster submissions are between 250 and 500 words\, including references. Authors of posters accepted for presentation will be required to prepare a maximum A0 (1189mm x 841mm) size poster for display.

HEIs were not the only ones unprepared for the range of issues GenAI raised\, and regulatory bodies and legislators scurried to develop guidelines and legislation. Initial responses in higher education were characterised by knee-jerk reactions resulting in banning the use of GenAI\, the development and deployment of GenAI checkers\, and changing student disciplinary codes. As higher education adapted to this ‘new normal’\, many HEIs embraced the potential of GenAI and institutionalised guidelines to inform the use of GenAI in teaching\, learning and research and development of codes of ethics for GenAI developers and users. International bodies such as\, but not limited to\, UNESCO published guidelines on the use of GenAI\, and the European Union is in the process of approving a draft Artificial Intelligence Act.  As the world\, and HEIs in particular make sense of this ‘new normal’ there are some that feel that the development and institutionalisation of codes of ethics are just “ethics-washing” and window-dressing as these guides act as guidelines and compliance cannot be ensured. Without legal accountability and enforcement\, the ideals of fairness\, equity\, accountability\, and transparency will remain unrealised. There are also others who points to the fact that while legislation is crucial in ensuring fairness\, equity\, accountability\, and transparency; compliance is often very difficult to monitor\, and the impact of bias and harm is often not immediately visible\, and many marginalised and vulnerable individuals and groups of individuals impacted by biased algorithms are unaware of how their choices are shaped by algorithms. Even when individuals and groups become aware of unfair and discriminatory practices\, they lack the know-how\, resources\, and access to legal representation to pursue justice and compensation. Codes of ethics’ role in sensitising developers and users regarding unethical behaviour not only make a difference\, but shapes practices and use\, in ways legislation cannot achieve. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaul Prinsloo is a Research Professor in Open and Distance eLearning (ODeL) at the University of South Africa (Unisa).

The University of Graz\, founded in 1585\, is Austria’s second oldest university and one of the largest in the country. Numerous outstanding scientists\, including six Nobel Prize winners\, have taught and researched here. \n\n\n\nWith 30\,000 students and 4\,700 employees\, it makes a decisive contribution to the vibrant life of the Styrian capital. Its geographical location favours a lively scientific\, economic and cultural exchange with south-eastern Europe\, from which the city benefits just as much as its educational institutions. \n\n\n\nAs a comprehensive university\, the University of Graz regards itself as an international institution for education and research committed to research and teaching for the benefit of society. It is our policy to maintain freedom in research and teaching\, which permanently commits us to social\, political and technological developments. Increasing flexibilisation and globalisation are the essential frame conditions. \n\n\n\nThe main venue of the conference is: University of Graz\, Foyer Universitätsstraße 15 Erdgeschoss \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGraz\, Austria\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe sights of Graz – this doesn’t just mean Schlossberg\, Kunsthaus or different architecture. This diversity and creative vision are the reason why Graz was named a UNESCO City of Design. Therefore\, the city now officially belongs to their international network of forward-looking places. There are only ten other cities in the world to have received this award and who can now call themselves a “City of Design”\, including Berlin\, Montreal and Buenos Aires. \n\n\n\nThe “City of Design” title reflects the active attitude and expression of an urban culture\, focusing on conscious design of the city environment as a central value. In Graz this can be seen not only in the spectacular architecture of recent years – such as the Kunsthaus\, Murinsel\, botanical gardens\, university buildings\, and much more. It above all demonstrates enormous potential in very different disciplines. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10 Best Thing To Do In Graz \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore Information About Graz\n\n\n\n\nHost Venue \n\n\n\nThe conference will start on Sunday 16th June 2024 in the Elisabethstraße 41 which is very close to the main University.

A prominent feature is the glass cube that cantilevers out over the historically protected library and becomes the eye-catcher of the campus. The 18-metre-long overhang creates a clear separation between old and new. The renovation included the removal of additions around the historic structure\, the restoration of the original 19th century façade and the construction of a spacious glass foyer. In addition\, a new lecture hall with 430 seats and a transparent cube for 650 study and workstations for students were created. An artistic element by Anna Artaker\, an enlarged historical illustration in sgraffito technique for perspective drawing\, was integrated into the underside of the new part of the building and gives the library an additional dimension\, while at the same time referring to the medium of books\, which are archived and made accessible there. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOfficial Welcome From University of Graz \nDate: Monday\, 17.06.2024Hour: 08:45 – 10:30 a.m. \n\n\n\n\nGala Dinner\nGala Dinner: Schlossberg Restaurant EDEN Graz AC Gala dinner takes place Monday\, June 17\, 2024 at 19:00 p.m. The SCHLOSSBERG restaurant is located on the hill 467 metres above sea level. We recommend using the Schlossberg Funicular railway to reach the SCHLOSSBERG restaurant. The funicular railway runs every 15 minutes until midnight and stops right by the restaurant. There are four ways to get to the top of the 473-metre high Schlossberg:– on the Schlossberg Funicular railway (recommendation)– in the glass lift that ascends inside the mountain (entrance via Schlossbergplatz)– on foot up the Schlossbergstiege stairs (start at the Schlossbergplatz)– on foot via Karmeliterplatz You can obtain funicular tickets via the free “GrazMobil” app. Besides\, ticket vending machines are available on all trams\, all buses and at selected locations (in the buses only cashless payment is possible\, in the trams and at the stops it is also possible to pay with cash à buy your ticket for example at the Hauptbahnhof\, Hauptplatz or Jakominiplatz.– Hourly ticket: € 3\,00– 24-hour ticket: € 6\,40 You can also buy your ticket at the entrance of the Schlossberg funicular railway (at the sales counter or if its closed\, directly at the driver). For visitors of the old city centre is there a special service of the “Altstadtbim”: free travel by tram through the historic part of the city.

Find more about the EDEN Graz Annual Conference 2024 and Call for papers \n\n\n\nThe European strategy for universities and the European Universities Initiative have ambitious objectives for European higher education. It includes developing innovative models of transnational cooperation. European University Alliances\, however\, face several challenges if they want to develop and build meaningful and working networks\, that ensure the (long-term) sustainability of their partnerships. These may include challenges\, i.e.\, on how to set up European degrees\, ensure good governance\, protect academic freedom and/or support research integrity\, ensure interoperability\, and develop solutions that are created jointly and not separately. “Piecemeal” approaches offer suboptimal solutions that still generate high transaction costs.  \n\n\n\nIn this Action Lab\, we invite you to join and share your insights/experiences on University Alliances roles for digital transformation of higher education. Since Universities may be at times sluggish and slow to respond to rapidly changing social\, technical\, and educational conditions take this Action Lab as an opportunity to reflect on examples when EUAs supported the opportunity across different University partners to develop and implement new educational approaches and why they functioned as innovation spaces and testing grounds in higher education\, as well as organizational formats that offered flexible and student-centered learning.

SUMMARY:EDEN NAP Webinar - Reimagining Assessment: Integrating Durable Skills and Leveraging AI Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Description \n\n\n\nIn the evolving landscape of education\, traditional assessment methods are being reevaluated to better reflect the critical and enduring skills needed for success in the 21st century. This webinar delves into innovative approaches to assessment that emphasize credentials and skills over rote learning. Furthermore\, artificial intelligence can provide more personalized learning experiences and accurate assessments\, thus transforming educational outcomes. The discussion will cover current advances in AI-based and non-AI-based assessment tools\, ethical considerations\, and future possibilities for seamlessly incorporating AI into educational frameworks. \n\n\n\nType of session: presentations with discussion \n\n\n\nDate: Thursday\, 23 May 2024\, 16:30 (CET) \n\n\n\n\nRegistration Form\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCarlo De Medio\, Research Fellow\, Department of Education Sciences\, University of Roma Tre\, Italy\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarlo De Medio is a research fellow\, at the Department of Education Sciences\, University of Roma Tre.

SUMMARY:EDEN NAP Webinar - Using Interactive Live Broadcasts For Developing Students’ Practical Skills
DESCRIPTION:Description \n\n\n\nPractical and practice-based learning is highly valued for introducing students to the distinctive practices\, concepts\, and values of various disciplines. However\, this type of learning may be difficult or daunting for some online and distance students to access.   \n\n\n\nIn this session we will explore how live and interactive web broadcasts can be used to introduce students to practical learning or unfamiliar environments\, and how a scaffolded approach can help students participate in decision-making to drive a practical investigation. The presenters will give an overview of their work\, before opening the session for questions and discussion from attendees.  \n\n\n\nTrevor Collins will present how Stadium Live (a webcasting platform used at the Open University UK) was developed to engage students in live interactive learning in different settings. Sarah Davies will share her experience of using this system for field-based teaching\, the range of communication strategies involved\, and how a flexible teaching framework enables a study to be guided by student responses. Janine Maddison will show how live interactive work can further involve students as participants by sharing her experience of co-producing live broadcasts using a ‘students as partners’ approach at Newcastle University.   \n\n\n\nQ+A and discussion will follow.  \n\n\n\nType of session: presentations with discussion \n\n\n\n\nRegistration Form\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nFiona Aiken\, Senior Lecturer\, Staff Tutor in the STEM Faculty\, School of Environment\, Earth and Ecosystem Sciences\, The Open University\, UK\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFiona Aiken is a Senior Lecturer\, Staff tutor in the STEM faculty\, School of Environment\, Earth and Ecosystem Sciences with the Open University\, UK.

SUMMARY:Open Education Week 2024 - Insights on Technology-supported Teaching\, Learning and Teacher Development in Contexts of Low Resources and Marginalisation
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\n\nRemote access to educational resources and opportunities for study or professional development increasingly depend on continuous access to technology\, particularly smartphones and other mobile devices. Many people find themselves excluded\, due to limited personal and local resources as well as multiple forms of marginalisation. In this session we present experiences and research findings from recent funded projects in low resource settings in several countries\, with a special focus on Asia and Africa. The common theme in these projects has been a focus on marginalised or resource-constrained educators and students\, including refugees and those who are from marginalised minority ethnic backgrounds. We draw attention to the aspirations and motivations of our research participants in their education contexts and share important insights into their experiences with technology.  \n\n\n\nFormat:  presentations \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecording\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\nDenise Whitelock\, EDEN DLE Vice-President\, Professor of Technology Enhanced Assessment and Learning and Director of the Institute of Educational Technology  at The Open University\, UK\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDenise Whitelock is a Professor of Technology Enhanced Assessment and Learning and Director of the Institute of Educational Technology (UK) at The Open University with over 20 years of experience in designing\, researching and evaluating online and computer-based learning in Higher Education.
