Varis/UnescoColloquium Three Perspectives UNESCO Chair in Global e-Learning European & other regional perspectives Communication and education approach

Varis/UnescoColloquium Trends of the 21st Century -Technology: digitalization (from analog to digital); digital literacy = way of thinking -Globalisation: local to global and global to local: multicultural world -New economy: myth or reality -”A Fair Globalization: Creating opportunities for all” (ILO 2004)

Varis/UnescoColloquium Mr. Koichiro Matsuura DG Unesco “It is necessary to build up large movement to humanize globalization, based on solidarity, on the spirit of caring for and sharing with others” Open Educational Resources (OER) initiative as a cooperation mechanism for the open, non-commercial use of educational resources

Varis/UnescoColloquium UNEVOC International Conference ”Vocational Content in Mass Higher Education”, September 2005 ”It is necessary to rethink the whole education system, from primary to higher, and understand the links to multiliteracies, multimodality and multimediality” UNESCO (2005): there is a general agreement on the expression ”knowledge societies” but not of the content of it

Varis/UnescoColloquium What is knowledge? From the certainty of Galilei and Newton towards chaos theory, probability and relativity Contextuality and complexity, change and uncertainty, fragmentary and holistic approach The role of tacit knowledge and art New industries each needed new concepts and knowledge to be understood Knowledge management: Anticipating changes in working life and in industrial structures Workplace skills in the 21st Century

Varis/UnescoColloquium Knowledge for What? Are we endorsing the hegemony of the techno-scientific model in defining legitimate and productive knowledge? Should the term “Digital Age” be replaced by multicultural world? The spirit of knowledge sharing and caring

Varis/UnescoColloquium European Ministerial Declaration 2006 (supported by the European digital technology industry) Countries will put in place, by 2008, digital literacy and competence actions Needs of groups at risk of exclusion Actions through partnerships with the private sector Media literacy, e-skills, life-long-learning Digital literacy a right for all

Varis/UnescoColloquium Communication and Digital Literacy The most important skills of the future would be communication skills in a multicultural world E-learning in a narrow sense seems to have passed its peak and is on the decline. We are now moving towards a more societal or communitarian activity with social web, blogs, and wikipedia Digital literacy becomes a right to people

Varis/UnescoColloquium What is needed in working life Master appropriate tools to gather information Understand the context of that information Actively shape and distribute information in ways that make it understandable and useful Exchange ideas, opinions, questions and experiences

Varis/UnescoColloquium Workplace skills Challenges: to acquire the skills necessary to enter an increasingly digital job market, and to continually improve those skills, and learn new ones Studies suggest that working people may not be keeping pace Schools are failing? Motivational problems?

Varis/UnescoColloquium Workplace training Large corporations provide the bulk of employer-managed and employer- delivered technology training Small and mediumsized enterprises rely on third-party organizations for such support, or establish partnerships with educational institutions etc

Varis/UnescoColloquium UNESCO IIEP Internet Discussion Forum 2005 Technology Cultural issues: reservations about publishing content produced by a foreign institution Collaborative development rather than ”providers” and passive ”users” Translation and adaptation Original content production Quality assurance and assessment

Varis/UnescoColloquium The Mission of the University (GUS)

Varis/UnescoColloquium GUS MISSION Transcultual, global initiative Education for moral leadership Priority on academic freedom Emphasis on quality education Responsiveness to student needs Transnational collaboration on research Commitment to openness Cultural sensitivity without fragmentation or homogenization

Varis/UnescoColloquium New Renaissance Education The study of complexity has brought science closer than ever to art Knowledge has gone through a cycle from non-specialism to specialism, and now back to interdisciplinarity, even transdisciplinarity Art deals with the sensual world (media as the extension of senses) and the holistic concept of human being
