SUMMARY:AHEAD Annual International Conference - Unity: How Staff and Learner Communities Drive Inclusion in Tertiary Education
DESCRIPTION:The community of professionals working to support equity and inclusion of people with disabilities in further and higher education\, and to promote the wider concepts of universal design and UDL\, is growing at a rapid pace. Equally\, the welcome trend towards increased student partnership in tertiary education is providing more opportunities for learners to contribute meaningfully to this community\, and the dialogue about policy and practice within it.\nBut what does all of that mean for the state of play regarding inclusion in tertiary education and the consistency of learner support? Is this growing community meaningfully and positively impacting on policy\, practice and ultimately\, student success? If so\, how can we more closely align our communities\, raise the voices of diverse staff and learners with them\, and maximise their collective impact?  \nAs Ireland moves towards a more unified tertiary education system\, and more unified communities of policy makers\, professional staff\, educators and learners within these sectors\, this conference will explore individual\, institutional\, national and international views on how we can leverage the power of community to drive equity and inclusion in the tertiary education system.

SUMMARY:Is the Learning Experience Significant? Using Fink's Taxonomy to (Re)Design and Evaluate Asynchronous Distance Learning Courses
DESCRIPTION:Evidence-based instructional strategies provide effective frameworks for designing both in-person and distance learning experiences that effectively achieve course learning outcomes. Fink’s Taxonomy of Significant Learning (FTSL) is an evidence-based instructional strategy originally developed for in-person courses that describes six kinds of learning goals which exist in interwoven domains. When learning experiences promote interaction between different domains\, a significant learning experience that lasts beyond course completion is more likely to occur. For instructors teaching asynchronous distance learning courses\, how can we design learning experiences that promote meaningful and long-lasting change in the learner’s life? And\, how do we evaluate and assess said experiences?\nDuring this session\, we will explore both questions using pedagogical principles that connect with FTSL\, as well as insights from a recent scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) study implemented during Autumn semester 2021. In the SoTL study\, we evaluated if a student’s learning experience in a 100% asynchronous distance learning course designed using FTSL contributed toward positive changes in their health promotion behaviors that lasted beyond course completion. Preliminary findings from the SoTL study demonstrate evidence of student learning gains in five of six learning domains (foundational knowledge\, application\, integration\, the human dimension\, and caring; according to Fink1). Learning gains also connect with statistically significant shifts in some student health promotion behaviors\, including strengthened behavioral intentions related to safe medication use\, storage\, and disposal\, increased likelihood to avoid medication misuse behaviors\, and increased confidence toward teaching others medication safety and helping others whose use of substances has them concerned.

SUMMARY:Open Education Week 2023 – “Applying and Translating Learning Design and Analytics Approaches in Your Institution”
DESCRIPTION:This 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.\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. \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.

SUMMARY:Open Education Week 2023 – “Sustainable Models of Education Post-Covid: The Case of Extended Squared (Exten(DT)2)”
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we are going to introduce and discuss the project “Extending design thinking with emerging digital technologies” funded by Horizon Europe and Innovate UK. Exten(DT)2 aims to enhance the pedagogical value of design thinking through the use of expressive digital media that are integrated with emerging technologies such as AI and analytics\, AR and 3D printing. The project adopts a co-design and co-production approach closely working with teachers across six European countries (Sweden\, Greece\, UK\, Norway\, Ireland\, Belgium) to design\, test and tailor educational interventions that are sustainable and enable development of students’ 21st century skills. The four presentations of this webinar focus on: a) introducing the Exten(DT)2 project\, 2) a critical perspective to design thinking\, 3) presenting emerging digital technologies and how they can be used to digitise teaching\, and 4) discussing how co-designing with teachers can bring  innovation to educational curricula.

SUMMARY:Open Education Week 2023 – “What Is the Future of Open Education?”
DESCRIPTION:In 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. Join us and share your views on this topic.

SUMMARY:Beyond Belonging: Creating Online and Blended Spaces for First-Generation Students to Flourish
DESCRIPTION:Although first-generation students—those first in their families to pursue higher education—comprise a sizable portion of gateway (or general education) course enrollment\, little\, if any\, attention has been given to the pedagogical approaches that might be used to meet the needs of this diverse student population (Baldwin et al.\, 2021). This webinar will focus on strategies and approaches that can be used to go beyond belonging to create inclusive academic experiences for first-generation students.\nThe webinar will begin with a focus on existing research on (and with relevance to) first-generation students and their academic experience (e.g.\, Baldwin et al.\, 2021)\, including contemporary research on levels of “first-generationness” (Darrah\, Humbert\, & Stewart\, 2022)\, and theoretical frameworks (e.g.\, Yosso’s Community Cultural Wealth Model\, 2005). Information about gateway courses and the gateway course impact on students identifying as first generation will also be discussed. This part of the presentation will include several reflective questions aimed at helping participants understand the nuances associated with first-generation student identities.

DESCRIPTION:Asynchronous discussion boards are a common tool used by instructors in online courses. These forums can provide an outlet to foster the interaction and collaboration that are sometimes lacking in an online learning environment. When students are engaged in conversations in these settings\, the asynchronous nature of discussions can provide them with time to reflect on their responses before interacting with their peers in a way that is often not feasible in a face-to-face discussion. In this way\, when it is used well\, the discussion board can offer the ideal blend of reflection and collaboration that promotes the construction of knowledge in an online learning environment.\nHowever\, while its asynchronous nature can have the positive outcome of promoting deliberation\, it can also result in periods of inactivity as students wait for responses from their peers that then leave them scrambling to interact with one another as the discussion deadline draws near. Text-based online discussions have been critiqued for their generally antisocial and impersonal nature. Additionally\, the structure of some types of discussion prompts are not conducive for supporting deep and meaningful conversations. \nDuring this webinar\, we’ll begin by reflecting on why the discussion board has become a staple practice within an online learning environment and if it is anathema to suggest abandoning it altogether. We will explore several different structures and ways to classify online discussion prompts and what research suggests that some of those structures are good for and not-so-good for. For example\, which types of discussion prompts are better at encouraging students to exchange ideas? Which are better at facilitating critical thinking? Which seem to be good only at generating lower levels of thinking? We will engage in conversation around ‘What makes a good discussion question?’ before identifying the characteristics that have been shown to be successful at generating engagement and pushing students to think critically. We propose three main structures for effective discussion prompts that will each be examined in greater depth.
