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: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: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]

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:A Report Card on the Crisis: What is the Legacy of the Great Onlining of Higher Education?
DESCRIPTION:Format: Panel discussion\nDescription\nIn this session we will reflect on the present situation in higher education in post pandemic times by asking several key questions. How well did we cope and what lessons did we learn? How are those lessons reflected in future planning? What now? We plan to discuss how we can take this opportunity and the legacy of a crisis to rethink traditional models of teaching and learning.  What should stay and what needs to change? Will higher education ever be the same again? Will we be able to retain the advantages and benefits of gaining more experience in online education\, or will we feel compelled to get back to “normal” times? Why did we need a pandemic as the catalyst for the digital transformation of higher education? What is the role of the Digital Education Action Plan in contributing to shaping a new European Education Area? Has the future of online education been endangered by emergency remote teaching? What are some of the debates and challenges we need to address in establishing the place of online education in the higher education ecosystem?
