SUMMARY:Knowledge Building Event - "Digital Education Leadership: Leading Today For Tomorrow's Unscripted World"
DESCRIPTION:Description \n\n\n\nThe aim of this event is to address the challenges and opportunities confronting educational leaders in the face of an increasingly unscripted world. The session will discuss some of the global megatrends on the horizon and explore some of the implications for leaders and educational institutions.  The underlying assumption is that leadership and investment in talent and leadership development throughout institutions have never been more important to steer a path through such turbulent and rapidly changing times.  But this assumption raises the question of what type of educational leadership is required today to proactively envision\, transform institutions\, and implement future-focused teaching and learning strategies for tomorrow’s world. The discussion will draw on key lessons from the leadership literature\, focusing on the importance of a holistic approach to placing digital education in the wider ecosystem in which institutions operate.  Several leaders will share critical insights with firsthand knowledge on this topic and experiences of the messy and complex nature of educational leadership. The discussion will culminate with key priorities and leader actions that institutions need to consider in their own context to build a transformative culture of leadership to help achieve the goal of a high-performing digital education ecosystem.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEuropean Digital Education Hub\n\n\n\nThe European Digital Education Hub (EDEH) is an initiative of the European Commission\, funded by the Erasmus+ programme (2021-2027) and operated by a consortium of eleven organisations\, under a service contract with the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). \n\n\n\nEDEN Digital Learning Europe Knowledge Building team is actively contributing to this Hub. \n\n\n\nMonthly innovative events are organised to discover and debate which are the current and future challenges of the digital transformation of education. \n\n\n\n\nOfficial Agenda\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nMark Brown\, EDEN Digital Learning Europe Vice President of Strategy and Communication\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark Brown is a Vice-President and Senior Fellow of EDEN Digital Learning Europe.

Formerly at DG EMPL\, Anusca has worked on the validation of non-formal and informal learning and micro-credentials\, as project manager at European Schoolnet and researcher at JRC. Her main area of expertise is digital competence. She is the author and co-author of multiple articles\, papers\, reports on technologies for learning and creativity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRikke Toft Nørgård\, Associate Professor\, Danish School of Education\, Denmark\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRikke Toft Nørgård is an Associate Professor at the Danish School of Education\, Aarhus University\, Steering Group Member at the Centre for Higher Education Futures (CHEF) and Elected Board Member of the international Philosophy and Theory of Higher Education Society (PaTHES) and the national Danish Network for Educational Development in Higher Education (DUN) where she is also founder and co-leader of the DUN-SIG on Digital Pedagogy & Learning in Higher Education. Dr. Nørgård’s research and projects focuses on the complexities\, challenges and potentials of education\, design\, technology and philosophy in relation to the future of hybrid higher education institutions and practices. She is participating in and leading projects on the future of higher education with a focus on the arts and humanities as well as emerging technological fields and their impact on the future of education and culture across society. On March 1st 2023 the EPIC-WE Europe Horizon project that Nørgård is the Coordinator of is launched\, trying to bring these fields together in an effort to provide new co-operative models\, formats\, events and activities for bringing higher education institutions\, cultural organisations and creative industries together to co-create new cultural futures. \n\n\n\nTitle: Between the real and the ideal – Human futures in digital education? \n\n\n\nAbstract: As a response to Bill Reading’s central question: ‘How are we to reimagine the University\, once its guiding idea of culture has ceased to have an essential function?’ (Readings\, 1996\, p. 119)\, the talk introduces concepts and frameworks for imagining and manifesting more preferable educational futures by working hopefully andintentionally among those ruins. This is done through introducing the notions of hopepunk\, speculative design\, futures-making\, collective visioning and the futures cone as ways of widening the field of possible and more humane futures in digital education. Today\, we see a deliberate intention to reduce the unknown (possibilities) in order to be able to see and plan for a known future. As a consequence\, the spectrum of possible futures and feasible utopias in education\, accessible through imaginative and intentional futures-making\, becomes eradicated by a singular already-decided future to be planned for. To imagine more preferable futures\, to intentionally design against the grimdark and for the hopepunk\, and to imagine a feasible utopias for human digital education\, we must boldly move beyond projected\, probable and even plausible futures. To do this\, we need thinking and methods for materialising feasible utopias – for manifesting the ideal in the real – for nurturing the emergence of an expanded possibility space for future digital eduation. Here. notions of collective speculative visioning and hopepunk future-making are presented as methods for widening the field for digital education and for future-scaping more preferable futures through materialising a thousand tiny preferable worlds. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter Lunch Session – Spotlight Speakers\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nLiz Johnson\, Deputy Vice-Chancellor\, Deakin University\, Australia\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiz Johnson leads Deakin’s ambitious Education and Employability strategy\, including the drive to premium digital learning and outstanding student experience. Professor Johnson’s portfolio includes Indigenous Strategy\, Academic Governance and Standards\, Graduate Employment\, Faculty Services\, Student Services\, the Deakin Library\, Deakin Learning Futures\, the Dean of Students\, and the Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE). As Deputy Vice-Chancellor Education from 2019-2021\, Professor Johnson steered teaching and learning at Deakin through the disruption of the COVID pandemic\, building from extensive projects on Deakin’s online learning environment\, teaching innovation and course development and staff capability for learning and teaching. During this period\, she sponsored re-imagining and restructure of Deakin’s professional services for students and Faculties\, substantive renewal of teaching and learning design and an institution-wide transformation to online assessment. In 2022\, Deakin University conferred on Professor Johnson the title of Alfred Deakin Professor\, the highest honour the University can bestow on a member of the academic staff\, recognising their outstanding and sustained contribution to furthering Deakin’s aims. \n\n\n\nTitle: Never waste a good crisis – assessment transformation at Deakin University \n\n\n\nAbstract:  \n\n\n\nDecades of educational research have described the principles and practices thatunderpin effective assessment and feedback. However\, assessment practice hasbeen slow to respond despite pockets of excellence. Headwinds slowing change arecomplex but include the high-stakes nature of summative assessment\, slow shifts incapability and conservative accreditation and regulatory instruments. Alongside itschallenges and stress\, the global pandemic forced innovation and opened new doorsin assessment practice. It is critical to build from that innovation towards betterpractice. \n\n\n\nDeakin University has twin missions in on-campus and online delivery to its 58\,000learners. Despite decades of online teaching and assessment\, over 1200 Deakinunits (subjects) had on-campus exams held in exam halls in 2019; including acomplex web of remote examination sites for distance students. In March 2020\, thepandemic swept that away and we pivoted to wholly online assessment. Throughcollectively reimagining assessment\, this transformation has created lasting changewith only a single unit using a (digital) on-campus exam in 2022. Units have switchedto digital assignments\, take-home exams\, in-person performance tasks and a strictlylimited number of online proctored exams. For this discussion\, we will explore theelements of successful and persistent change: grassroots engagement\, targetedsupport with a comprehensive evidence and practice base\, and fostering innovation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlexandra Mihai\, Assistant Professor of Innovation in Higher Education\, Maastricht University\, Netherlands\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlexandra Mihai is Assistant Professor of Innovation in Higher Education in the Department of Educational Research and Development\, School of Business and Economics\, Maastricht University.

In her PhD she analysed in how far technology is used in teaching practices at European universities. \n\n\n\nTitle: “Building Common Ground: Faculty Professional Development Beyond Institutional Silos” \n\n\n\nAbstract: For faculty professional development to reach its full potential\, it is crucial that different actors at university level work together in a cohesive manner. However\, such concerted action is not a natural feature of a highly fragmented Higher Education landscape. In many universities\, the teams in charge of technological and pedagogical support belong to different departments and the communication channels are not always open or transparent. So how can we (re)imagine the future of professional development where meaningful work takes place across functional and disciplinary boundaries? How can we intentionally build the common ground necessary for effective faculty development?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlanaid White\, Dean Strategic Learning Innovation\, Dublin City University\, Ireland \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlanaid White is the Dean of Strategic Learning Innovation in DCU\, leading the implementation of a €19.9 million initiative funded through the Government’s Human Capital Initiative\, to radically reimagine the university curriculum and reconceptualise university teaching\, introducing new areas of study\, new ways of learning\, and embedding the transferable skills students will require to thrive in a yet to be defined workplace. Previously\, I have held the roles of Associate Dean for Teaching and Learning in the Faculty of Science and Health and Head of School of Chemical Sciences.  \n\n\n\nTitle: How can we embrace ambiguity and uncertainty as we seek to transform our students learning experience?  \n\n\n\nAbstract: In DCU Futures\, DCU is embarking on its biggest ever educational innovation project\, as it seeks to transform the learning experience of our students. DCU Futures is structured around three pillars – what students learn\, how students learn\, and embedding the transversal skills that will enable our students to thrive. Our ambition is to empower our students to be future-capable and thrive in an increasingly unscripted world defined by volatility\, uncertainty\, complexity\, and ambiguity. Therein\, however\, lies the challenge: if we are to empower our students to thrive in a world of uncertainty and ambiguity\, we must also embrace them. But what does that look like? In this Spotlight session\, we explore what’s possible and how we can begin to achieve it.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFinal Gasta Session – MC\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nTom Farrelly\, Social Science Lecturer & Academic Developer\, Munster Technological University\, Ireland\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTom Farrelly is Social Sciencie Lecturer and Academic Developer in Munster Technological University.

In 2023 she was appointed as Universitat Oberta de Catalunya President. \n\n\n\nBetween October 2010 and February 2019\, she was dean of the UOC’s Faculty of Economics and Business. Throughout her academic career\, she has specialized in tax and financial management and management control\, and has taught courses on these subjects at a number of universities (University of Barcelona\, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya\, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona\, Pompeu Fabra University\, and the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia). She combined her teaching work with a professional career in accounting and tax consulting for private companies and public institutions. \n\n\n\nShe is deputy chair of the Catalan Professional Association of Economists and a member of the Government of Catalonia’s Economic Policy Advisory Board. Her research interests focus on financial reporting harmonization processes\, management control systems and the transformative power of higher education for employability given the complexity of labour market dynamics. She leads a number of different local and international initiatives in this field to reconfigure higher education and provide a response to the challenges for lifelong learning arising in the current context of transition. \n\n\n\nTitle: “Navigating Global Challenges through Lifelong Learning:  From teaching to empowering” \n\n\n\nAbstract: In an era marked by profound economic and societal shifts driven by rapid technological advancements\, universities must transcend their traditional role of knowledge creation and dissemination. Instead\, they must actively pursue strategies to amplify the transformative power of education\, benefiting both individuals’ employability and organizations’ competitiveness. To achieve this goal\, harnessing labor market insights and artificial intelligence technology becomes indispensable. In this context\, we present the UOC experience as a guiding example of how universities can enhance employability by leveraging the immense potential of artificial intelligence and big data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMelissa Bond\, Lecturer in Digital Technology Education\, University of South Australia\, Australia\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMelissa Bond is a Lecturer in Digital Technology Education at the University of South Australia (Australia)\, an EPPI-Reviewer Training & Support Officer at University College London (UK)\, and an Adjunct Associate Professor in Qualitative Evidence Synthesis at the University of Stavanger (Norway). Her research draws on her high school and higher education teaching experience and focuses in particular on how evidence synthesis can build research skills\, provide insight into digital teaching and learning to provide guidance to both policy and practice\, and identify key research gaps. Melissa is a member of the Center for Open Education Research\, a founding editorial boardmember of the Nordic Journal of Systematic Reviews in Education and she will soon be an Associate Editor for the Online Learning Journal. \n\n\n\nTitle: “Where Have We Been and Where Are We Going? Lessons From EdTech Evidence Synthesis” \n\n\n\nAbstract: The past fifty years have seen vast developments in the use of technology for teaching and learning\, and we have recently encountered another threshold moment; the rise and widespread popularisation of large language models such as ChatGPT-3. As we stand on the precipice of arguably a new era of teaching and learning\, it is time to take stock of where we have been\, in order to begin sculpting a future vision of teaching and learning. In order to help answer the key questions of thisyear’s conference theme\, this keynote will draw upon a body of evidence syntheses\, in order to cast a meta overview of the EdTech field\, and shine light on key considerations for research\, policy and practice going forward. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter Lunch Session – Plenary 3\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nMaren Deepwell\, CEO Association for Learning Technology\, United Kingdom\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaren Deepwell is the chief executive of the Association for Learning Technology\, the leading professional body for learning technology in the UK with around 3\,500 members. She has led the organisation since 2012 including a strategic transition to becoming a virtual team in 2018. Her particular focus is on professional recognition for learning technologists\, the development of a new ethical framework for professional practice and the future of technology in education. As a trained sculptor and anthropologist\, she brings both her creative and executive expertise to her professional practice as a leader\, strategic adviser and coach. \n\n\n\nTitle: Hope on the horizon: Setting out in a new direction for digital education \n\n\n\nAbstract: Over the past five years we have seen digital education scaled up\, with fully virtual\, blended and hybrid learning expanding to more and more learners. As we move beyond education in crisis response mode\, we have a unique opportunity to shape what’s ahead and also a responsibility to apply the lessons learnt in 2020/21.  \n\n\n\nWe saw what’s possible in an emergency\, and also what isn’t. I want to acknowledge that we are seeking hope at a time when many are battling burnout\, still picking up the pieces in a world in which many are still feeling the lingering impact of the global pandemic.  \n\n\n\nHow do we find optimism\, and a vision for a better future? Grounded in new research from ALT\, on how professional practice in digital education is changing\, and aligned with the Framework for Ethical Learning Technology (FELT)\, I will explore: \n\n\n\n\nWho has a say in shaping the future and whom we may be missing? \n\n\n\nWhat the future will hold for our students moving from hybrid learning to hybrid working?\n\n\n\nWhat do we need to consider in order to avoid going back as well as moving ahead into a future that doesn’t deliver?\n\n\n\n\nLet’s find inspiration to create our visions of the future\, without losing a critical perspective on digital innovation but with a renewed sense of hope and empowerment.  \n\n\n\n\n\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 2023 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 “Yes we can!” – Digital Education for Better 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\nGasta paper:  up to 12 slides. presentation time –  up to 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 four 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\nDownload Full Paper Template\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\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\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. More details concerning poster requirements will be provided upon acceptance. \n\n\n\n\nDownload Poster Presentation Template\n\n\n\n\nGuidelines for posters: \n\n\n\nThe author(s) need to bring the printed poster to the conference and attach it to the poster board when they arrive at the conference venue.

SUMMARY:Open Education Week 2023 - "Applying and Translating Learning Design and Analytics Approaches in Your Institution"
DESCRIPTION:Description \n\n\n\nThis interactive workshop delivered by the University of Zagreb\, Faculty of Organisation and Informatics (UZ)\, School of Medicine\, and the Open University UK (OU) will build on several large-scale implementations of learning design and learning analytics\, and how you could potentially implement similar approaches in your institution. \n\n\n\nFor example\, the OU has been implementing learning design for over 15 years as a structured design\, specification\, and review process for blended and online courses. The learning design is focused on “what students do” as part of their learning\, rather than on “what teachers do” or on what will be taught. Building on this work\, UZ has recently developed the Balanced Design Planning (BDP) tool specifically for educators working in hybrid and blended contexts. The tool (www.learning-design.eu/) is more focussed on intended learning outcomes and automated learning analytics and is currently developed and tested with 700+ practitioners from 25+ institutions as part of several European projects (eDesk\, Teach4EDU\, RAPIDE\, iLED)\, and is publicly available for other institutions to use for free. \n\n\n\nIn this EDEN workshop we aim to showcase what we have learned from implementing the BDP concept and tool\, and how we have further updated and fine-tuned the approach based upon both feedback from end users as well as participating institutions.  \n\n\n\nOutcomes \n\n\n\n\nDevelop your own learning design and learning analytics approaches and/or to work with other educators to design a joint course and share it with other peers/students based on hands-on experiences with the Balanced Design Planning tool.\n\n\n\nUse lessons learned from both approaches from a range of European institutions in your own teaching and learning practices.\n\n\n\nApply and translate these learning design and learning analytics approaches into your own institution based on provided good practices and use of the LD and LA concepts and tools.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the Recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop Leaders\n\n\n\n\nBart Rienties\, The Open University\, United Kingdom\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBart Rienties is Professor of Learning Analytics and programme lead of the learning analytics and learning design research programme at the Institute of Educational Technology at the Open University UK.

SUMMARY:Open Education Week 2023 - "What Is the Future of Open Education?"
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\n\nIn this panel session with policymakers and experts on open\, online and distance education we will reflect on the present situation regarding open education. Open education is a philosophy\, a way of carrying out education with the aim to widen access and participation to everyone by removing barriers and making learning accessible\, abundant\, and customisable for all. Open education is becoming ever more important in European higher education and on the global level as well due to the fact that digital technologies are one of the main driving forces behind education modernisation. So\, why do we still need to discuss the benefits of open education? How pandemic\, AI developments (especially chat GPT) and all other issues in the context of open education affected open education in a good or poor way? How can we make open education more visible and actual and did it become mainstream? We do have numerous examples of best practices\, great projects on open education\, initiatives\, documents and policies. Nevertheless\, numerous teachers are still unaware of open educational resources and open educational practices and educational institutions do not implement the principles of openness in education or research.  \n\n\n\nTo give you food for thought some of the panellists shared their views on open education in statements: \n\n\n\n\nJosep M. Duart: “Open education is a way of understanding education; to me\, it is the only one possible. Education is about sharing learning\, feelings\, experiences\, paths\, etc. Technology increases the power of Open Education by creating a global space of exchange and openness. Challenges and opportunities exist\, and the educators’ task is to interpret them in their context”.\n\n\n\nMark Brown: “Open Education is a popular catechism which suffers from many different interpretations. A deeper more transformative conception of openness that contributes to real changes in educational practices continues to depend on how successful we are in fundamentally challenging traditional closed beliefs\, policies and cultures”.\n\n\n\nJames Glapa-Grossklag: “Open education is not an end goal in itself\, rather open education provides a set of tools to accomplish larger goals\, such as increasing graduation rates and promoting student belonging”.\n\n\n\nAndreia Inamorato Dos Santos: “Open education practices need to be connected to social challenges to remain relevant and in the spotlight for policymakers. There is a need to update the discourse on open education\, as well as unpack the various ramifications and principles of open education in fields such as artificial intelligence\, digital competence\, inclusion\, equity\, and social justice”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch the Recording\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\nSandra Kučina Softić\, University of Zagreb University Computing Centre\, Croatia\, EDEN Digital Learning Europe MB Member\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSandra Kučina Softić is the Assistant Director at the University of Zagreb University Computing Centre SRCE (Croatia). She is also the Head of the E-learning Centre at SRCE. She has 25 years of experience working in higher education. Her work is focused on monitor-ing and fostering e-learning in Croatian higher education and providing support and advice to institutions\, teachers\, and students in implemen-tation of new technologies in learning and teaching.

Currently available humanoid robots provide multimodal interfaces which allow design for human-robot interaction through speech\, touch\, gestures\, face recognition and eye gaze. Current research on applying humanoid robots in education as part of the field of robot assisted learning provides some promising evidence for enjoyable learning experiences and enhanced learning outcomes of diverse groups of learners. This talk will provide an overview  of how humanoid robots are applied as teaching and learning assistants including examples from own research at the Communication Lab. Specifically\, this talk will focus on the design process and design options for human-robot interaction in different application scenarios. The talk will also address some limitations and challenges inherent to the currently available humanoid robotic platforms. The talk will end with an interactive part in the form of crowd-creation\, in which the audience will participate in the joint creation of a playful human-robot interaction \n\n\n\nBart Rienties\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Bart Rienties is Professor of Learning Analytics and programme lead of the learning analytics and learning design research programme at the Institute of Educational Technology at the Open University UK. He leads a group of academics who provide university-wide learning analytics and learning design solutions and conduct evidence-based research of how students and professionals learn. His primary research interests are focussed on Learning Analytics\, Professional Development\, and the role of motivation in learning. Furthermore\, Bart is interested in broader internationalisation aspects of higher education. He has successfully led a range of institutional/national/European projects\, and has received a range of awards for his educational innovation projects.  He has published over 285 academic outputs\, and is the 2nd most published author on Networks in Education in period 1969-2020 (Saqr et al. 2022)\, the 3rd most cited author on higher education internationalisation in Asia in the period 2013-2018 (Can & Hou\, 2021)\, the 4th most cited author and contributor in Learning Analytics in the period 2011-2018 (Adeniji\, 2019)\, the 5th most published author on internationalisation in the period 1900-2018 (Jing et al. 2020) and the 7th most published author on social network analysis in social sciences in the period 1999-2018 (Su et al. 2020)\, and the 14th most published author on educational technology in the period 2015-2018 (West & Bodily\, 2020). \n\n\n\nTopic: How can you use learning analytics in your own research and practice: an introductory perspective \n\n\n\nWhile many “brick-and-mortar” universities had to rapidly shift online provision during the pandemic\, a range of online and distance learning universities have been teaching in blended and online formats for years. Obviously with every single click potentially interesting data might become available about how and perhaps why learners are engaging with learning materials and activities.  A blossoming field of learning analytics has emerged since 2011 trying to make sense of these increased data flows. The Open University UK (OU) has been trailblazing innovative learning across the globe for 50 years. Since 2014 the OU has gradually moved from small-scale experimentation to large-scale adoption of learning analytics throughout all 400+ modules and qualifications available within the OU for its 170.000+ online learners. \n\n\n\nThis keynote will explore how you as researcher\, practitioner\, and/or policy maker could start to use learning analytics to better understand your educational practice. Using examples from small-scale experiments and large-scale adoptions of predictive learning analytics I will explore together with EDEN RW participants which approaches and methods in learning analytics might be useful to consider. No prior knowledge or experience of learning analytics is expected\, and join me on a journey of how you could potentially use data from your learners and teachers to further improve and finetune your blended and online provision. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact us\n\n\n\nIf you have any queries\, or for further information\, please email eden-dubrovnik@foi.unizg.hr \n\n\n\n\n\nSubmission categories\n\n\n\nPaper presentations – Presentation of research results\, reviews of existing results (including empirical or theoretical studies\, policy reviews\, comprehensive case studies)\, and project results that are in a conclusive phase. \n\n\n\nPosters – Work-in-progress\, initial research results\, projects in early stages of development\, and case studies.

One can feel and experience with all senses its title of one of the world’s most beautiful cities and “a living museum within the modern present”\, being the perfect background for numerous cultural\, professional and scientific events.  It was the only city-state on the entire Croatian coast from the 14th to the 19th century. Seafaring\, harbouring and trade\, together with the wise international policy and skilful diplomacy brought economic and cultural prosperity for centuries to the free city–state and brought in world’s finest builders and artists\, which contributed to its richness and diversity. \n\n\n\nUniversity of Dubrovnik with map\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conference venue is the University of Dubrovnik. The University of Dubrovnik\, as it is today\, was founded in 2003. Although one of the youngest\, the University of Dubrovnik is\, according to its studies\, structure and technical equipment\, a very modern higher education institution. The venue is just a short walk away from Dubrovnik Old Town and Walls of Dubrovnik. \n\n\n\nRecommendations for accomodations\n\n\n\nAkademis “Academia” student dormitory (available for two nights\, from September 18 to September 20) \n\n\n\nHotel Lero \n\n\n\nHotel Adria \n\n\n\nHotel Kompas

SUMMARY:How we can and should respond to the educational needs of those who have become refugees
DESCRIPTION:The disruptions caused by war\, oppressive regimes and environmental degradation are causing unprecedented levels of social dislocation and violence. To all this can now be added the shocking impact of war and invasion in Europe itself. Millions of people have had to flee just to stay alive. Individuals and families alike have been traumatised by this. We would like to explore the impact on educational needs and whether we can fashion interventions that somehow ease the pain while also providing a model of a way forward for those so impacted. \n[eden-webinar-moderators] \n[eden-webinar-speakers]

SUMMARY:How can we transform e-Learning practices through capacity building?
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE RECORDINGThis session will showcase examples of a good practice using capacity building funds to transform the teaching and learning practice of educational institutions that were in their early beginnings as it comes to e-learning. Our panellists will reflect on their experiences during such a journey – where were they at the beginning\, how did they prepare for the transition\, what activities have been undertaken\, where are they now\, and finally\, what are their plans? Reflections will be done from the perspective of the institutional leaders\, teachers\, and supportive staff. \n[eden-webinar-moderators] \n[eden-webinar-speakers]

SUMMARY:Opening up Museums: how inclusive open education is transforming the museum experience
DESCRIPTION:Experts panel\nEither as a response to the impact of the Covid-19 crisis or a strategic move towards a more participatory culture\, most museums worldwide are now providing open access online to a large amount of their curated digital heritage content. In order to promote collaboration and learning through co-creation\, many opened up their online collections to social tagging\, or started working with communities of volunteers to transcribe manuscript archives for digital publishing projects. Some others started crowdsourcing and crowdfunding initiatives. In this new context\, Museum MOOCs and OERs have become popular tools and are now used in formal and non formal learning contexts as well as for professional development. As the learning experience becomes increasingly open\, hybrid\, ubiquitous and personalized\, museum education comes to be more engaging\, participatory and transformative\, as well as more accessible and inclusive. \nIn this webinar a panel of expert researchers will discuss how open education is contributing to the digital transformation of the museum learning experience. They will show how open education is being embraced by museum educators and explain why that is helping to address inclusion for all\, but also widening participation\, developing critical thinking\, fostering digital citizenship\, and promoting wellbeing. Speakers will share best practices and present significant experiences from such projects as INCLUSIVE MEMORY\, MUSACCES and SPEKTRUM. \n[eden-webinar-moderators] \n[eden-webinar-speakers]

SUMMARY:Designing Future Skills-ready Future higher education: Why it Matters and What We can Do A Future Skills - Apéro conversation with Gilly Salmon
DESCRIPTION:Interactive Apéro discussion; possibility for participants to engage with questions in the conversation\nThe world is changing faster than ever before – not only since the pandemic. Which are the skills needed to engage in and shape inclusive societies and master emergent\, uncertain futures? And are today’s higher education institutions and the current teaching and learning practices appropriate for meeting the new challenges? Future Skills are gaining relevance and importance in the discussion on present and future higher education. Not only are Future Skills one of the currently most debated topics – they also open up to fascinating new approaches of how we live and learn together. \nThis Future Skills Apéro with world-renowned Professor Gilly Salmon is hosted by Ulf-Daniel Ehlers and Laura Eigbrecht. The conversation will focus on sharing insights from her work on transformation of higher education and feature spicy good anecdotes\, examples and stories ‘between the lines’. We will ask Gilly Salmon why Future Skills matter\, how we can promote them\, what we can learn from education in times of the pandemic and how we can design future and Future Skills-ready higher education. Participants are invited to contribute to the discussion by bringing in their questions and impulses to the conversation. \n[eden-webinar-speakers]
