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).

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]

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]

SUMMARY:Democratizing research and science: Ways forward
DESCRIPTION:Presentations and panel discussion\nIn this session\, we will reflect on how research  and science are currently produced and discuss ways we could make them more inclusive\, open\, and democratic. In the first talk\, Dr  Jess Carr will talk about participatory and inclusive research with excluded communities. In the second talk\, Dr Christothea Herodotou will talk about how technology can support democratic research by allowing non-professionals to set up their own studies. In the third talk\, Prof Bart Rienties will discuss about open science and scholarship in relation to learning analytics\, inviting attendees’ to share their thoughts and perspectives. \nTalk 1 Dr Jess Carr \nTitle: What makes a researcher? Doing participatory inclusive research with excluded communities \nAbstract: To an outsider\, research and higher education institutions can seem ‘elitist’. Yet as funders look to include more communities in research\, our practice must change. So how do we engage with communities that are frequently excluded\, and break down the barriers put up by researchers who came before us? This talk will explore inclusive research\, and its participatory approaches in engaging adults with learning disabilities as co-researchers. \n\nTalk 2 Dr. Christothea Herodotou \nTitle: Opening research to non-professionals through community-led citizen science \nAbstract: A means of democratising research is to enable communities and individuals with no or limited science expertise to design their own scientific investigations\, grounded on their needs and requirements. The award-winning nQuire platform (nquire.org.uk) has been designed with support from the OU/BBC partnership\, to scaffold the process of setting up and managing scientific investigations and enable community-led citizen science. It has engaged 230K+ people with research. Two mechanisms support participants in taking control of the research process: an authoring tool and collaboration with scientists. A survey of 150 participants of nQuire identified challenges related to people initiating their own studies such as a lack of time and the need for support\, that researchers should tackle if it is to open science to all.  Implications for the design of community-led citizen science will be discussed. \n\nTalk 3 Prof Bart Rienties \nTitle: Building Open Science and Scholarship in learning analytics: some preliminary thoughts \nAbstract: On 21 March the Society of Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR) will bring together some leading thinkers in learning analytics and data science to discuss how open science and scholarship can be incorporated into learning analytics culture and practice. Practitioners and researchers from across the world are invited to share their thoughts and perspectives. At EDEN on the 8th of March we are keen to explore your perspectives on open science and scholarship\, in particular with relation to learning analytics. Amongst the questions to be discussed are: What could and should EDEN and SoLAR do to encourage open science and scholarship?; What prevents researchers from contributing to open science?; Which learning analytics approaches could (not) be made open\, and why?; And what could organisations like SoLAR and EDEN do to make open science and scholarship more attractive and relevant? \n[eden-webinar-moderators] \n[eden-webinar-speakers]

SUMMARY:Yes it's Open but is it any Good? Reflections on an Open Reading Initiative of Scholarly Research
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion\nThis webinar focuses on the growth of open science and the plethora of open access scholarly publications in the area of digital education—for better and worse. It begins by reflecting on the 6th edition of the NIDL “top 10” good reads in the field of digital education. This exercise identifies a collection of scholarly open access articles published over the previous year that make a valuable contribution to the literature. A panel discussion then considers the challenge of finding time to “slow” read the literature and shares critical strategies for keeping abreast of the rapidly evolving literature. We ask what should you be reading? What was your top read from 2021? How do you filter the literature to ascertain whether a publication or journal article is worth reading? How much time do you spend ‘slow’ reading the literature each month and is this long enough? Just how “good” is the open-access literature? \n[eden-webinar-moderators] \n[eden-webinar-speakers]

SUMMARY:Il ruolo delle tecnologie per una scuola inclusiva e partecipativa  The role of technology for inclusive and participative schools
DESCRIPTION:ADD TO CALENDAR JOIN WITH ZOOMLanguage: Italian\nNell’ambito del seminario\, dopo aver concettualizzato il tema dell’inclusione scolastica secondo la prospettiva del modello bio–psico–sociale dell’ICF (International Classification of Functioning) (OMS\, 2002))\, si farà riferimento ad alcune criticità emerse nel contesto nazionale relativamente al fenomeno del “push and pull out” (Ianes e Demo\, 2015)\, evidenziando come sono sempre più frequenti forme diversificate di micro–esclusione degli studenti con disabilità nel contesto scolastico. In particolare\, sarà data enfasi ai differenti ruoli svolti dalle tecnologiche come strumenti capaci di facilitare l’inclusione e la partecipazione attiva alla vita sociale e didattica di tutti gli studenti che sono in situazioni di difficoltà (OMS\, 2002; ISTAT\, 2019).\nLe tecnologie mediando la relazione tra la persona e l’ambiente possono avere una funzione compensativa/abilitante\, finalizzata a rendere gli studenti “abili” supportandoli nel superamento di difficoltà fisiche e/o sensoriali\, ma anche partecipativa per garantire la loro presenza in un contesto sociale di apprendimento (Benigno\, Ferlino e Trentin\, 2019). Infine\, saranno riportati i principali risultati di una sperimentazione\, svoltasi in seno al progetto CLIPSO (Classi Ibride Per la Scuola in Ospedale)\, relativa all’implementazione di una classe ibrida per studenti che non possono frequentare la scuola per motivi di salute.\nRiferimenti BibliograficiBenigno\, V.\, Ferlino\, L.\, & Trentin\, G.\, (2019).

SUMMARY:Listening to student voices on cultural diversity: a strategy to promote interculturalism in schools
DESCRIPTION:ADD TO CALENDAR JOIN WITH ZOOMLanguage: English\nResearch on student voice suggests that children’s perspectives are important in the efforts to promote equal education opportunities to culturally-diverse student population. Despite the increased attention student voice has received\, children’s critiques and reflections of their socio-educational experiences are usually ignored by their schools. This aims to reflect on how student voice could support intercultural efforts in schools by investigating the ways in which immigrant and native children in primary schools perceive cultural diversity and its implications on their daily lives. This research can be very informative for the formation of future policies\, practices\, and teaching methodologies in culturally-diverse schools. \nSpeaker\nChristina Hadjisoteriou\nUniversity of Nicosia\n \n \n

SUMMARY:Online Civic Engagement and Service Learning in Hybrid Realities: Implications for the Real-World and the Metaverse
DESCRIPTION:ADD TO CALENDAR REGISTER \nDescription\nEffective civic engagement relies on citizens to understand the society around them\, question it\, and come together to change it where necessary. As the pandemic has recently demonstrated\, a large part of societal functions can take place online\, and as such\, so can civic engagement! \nConsequently\, educators are faced with the task of supporting students learn how to exercise their civic responsibilities online\, and which tools and resources are available for this purpose. Arguably\, as people move further away from the real world\, they are less sensitive to the problems that arise there. Since even our future social interactions are starting to be defined in terms of such “metaverses”\, it is vital that an equilibrium be achieved between online and real-world contexts and responsibilities. What role should educators have in this process? \nA possible way to maintain this equilibrium for future generations\, and meld the online and real-world\, may come from insights gained from service learning. It offers a way to facilitate student experience and understanding of key social issues in their community by using gradual placements in real environments. Therefore\, the more students move online\, the more they will be grounded in the real-world. \nIn this webinar\, different aspects of these issues will be discussed and some reflections provided on how students can be prepared to act as responsible citizens in future hybrid realities. As part of this narrative\, results of different initiatives and research projects will be presented. \n\nType of session: presentations with discussion \nModerators\nTimothy Read\nEDEN Vice-president for Open Professional Collaboration\,\nSenior Lecturer\, Department of Computer Languages and Systems\, UNED.

SUMMARY:Assessment of STEM transversal skills from conceptual framework to real- world problems
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n  \n\nAssessment of Transversal Skills in STEM is an innovative policy experimentation project  being conducted across 8 EU countries and involving a partner network of 12 educational institutions. It aims to enhance digital assessment of students’ transversal skills in STEM. Drawing on key ideas and theories of STEM educational policy\, formative assessment\, use of digital learning tools\, and integrated STEM education the project developed an overarching conceptual framework that underpinned a training and development programme for teachers. Teachers in 107 schools in seven European countries worked with teacher mentors to help teachers reflect on and develop their teaching practices to teach students key STEM skills via learning projects aiming to have real work impact and address the UN’s sustainable development goals.\nThis presentation will feature tales spun from theoretical frameworks to classroom practices. Dr. Eamon Costello will first give an overview of the project and discuss the topic of real world skills\, a concept of contestation in the STEM educational discourse. Following the overview\, Dr Eva Hartell  will present on the project implementation in Sweden where the research team worked in partnership with schools and parents on projects that allowed students to explore and affect their real world.
