A Digital Learning Ecologies Conceptual Framework in the Microsystem of Online Higher Education – LO

/by

The abstract offers a reflection on new emerging questions, that aim to offer solutions to the educational problem of how to serve the needs of both individual learners and society today.

To advance our understanding of learning in the digital age, we need conceptual frameworks and organizing schemes that can not only advance theory but also guide data collection for empirical research in fields such as online learning. A digital learning ecology, therefore, is defined as the set of situated and ever-shifting physical and virtual contexts that provide
opportunities for learning, mediated through digital technology.

In a digital learning ecology, learning emerges through the interactions between an individual’s interpersonal and networked relationships, the activities they engage in, and the digital resources they seek out or those that are introduced by a teacher, peer or knowledgeable other.

The objective of defining a digital learning ecology conceptual framework has been to create an organizing scheme that will support future lines of research and data collection in the field of online learning using an ecological approach.

A New Approach to Digital Competence Building for University Educators in Europe – LO

/by

The EduHack.eu initiative is developing a capacity building course for European educators based on the DigCompEdu framework, starting from the idea that in order to be able to meaningfully teach in an open and networked world, educators need to not only “learn” how to teach with technology, but should be allowed to “experiment” with it, in an
open and collaborative spirit.

The DigCompEdu framework represents an important step in the right direction for stakeholders to understand the importance of embedding openness as a key feature of collaboration within Digital Literacy practices. However, making it operational through capacity building actions that are able to maintain its open and collaborative spirit is not without its challenges.
The EduHack.eu initiative is taking up this challenge through a versatile and comprehensive model for academic professional development, focusing on digital media competences for teaching and learning, that is adaptable to the specific needs and ethos of different types of HE institutions. This model will implement active, open and collaborative learning methods, culminating in the organisation of an Eduhackaton where educators will be able to experiment with digital technologies for learning, experiencing what is means to be an open and networked
educator.

Communication and Interaction in a Blog-Based Learning Space – LO

/by

One of the goals of the certificate is to provide educators with the technical and pedagogical expertise to use
educational technologies, so learners are encouraged to explore social technologies so they can critically assess and reflect on their use for their own practice.

This project used methods to look at both historical traces of activity (visible messages) and the “physical” course structure (technology/content) to consider the following research questions:
• What effect does the learning space have on the learning interactions in an online course?
• In what ways does technology act as a barrier or enabler for learner’s interaction/communication?
• How does learning in an open space shape the communication practices and participation in the course activities?

Enhancing Teachers’ Intercultural Conflict Management Competences through Digital Game-Based Learning: A Pedagogical Framework – LO

A preliminary study, based on national focus groups conducted in five European countries, allowed for confronting the pedagogical framework to teachers’ views and practices.
