@HughDavis #VCRetreat Institute for Learning Innovation and Development Although students may work naturally with technology.. Literacy in the Virtual World is a complex thing The curriculum must provide opportunities and experiences that develop these skills, use authentic tools and grow PLNs My Point is…. 21 RoutledgeRoutledge Rethinking pedagogy for a digital age: designing and delivering e-learning H Beetham, R Sharpe, Routledge, 2007 Margaryan, A., Littlejohn, A. and Vojt.

@HughDavis #VCRetreat Institute for Learning Innovation and Development 1 st Year 2 nd Year 3 rd Year One Faculty’s Digital Resource Strategy 23 Learners are told where to find things All resources are in the VLE Learners are told what to find and how Secondary resources can be found on the open web Learners are expected to find resources for themselves They are expected to evaluate their choice of sources

An aside on MOOCs and what we have learned from them 24

@HughDavis #VCRetreat Institute for Learning Innovation and Development M assive - some have 10,000s registered. O pen = free anyone can register O nline although many have a parallel blended incarnation C ourse - that runs at a given time with a given cohort (but not necessarily accredited for anything) - What is a MOOC? 25 Short (often 4-8 weeks, 3 hrs /week) No formal assessment and feedback Video, reading and collaborative activities

@HughDavis #VCRetreat Institute for Learning Innovation and Development Brand and Recruitment Materials? 26

@HughDavis #VCRetreat Institute for Learning Innovation and Development Marketing people are happy to get lists But much more than that…. The massive cohorts give us new opportunities for experimenting in and understanding learning and assessment Adaptive feedback Adaptive learning paths Adaptive Content Gameification Peer Review Self Review Big Data 27 Mike Wheatley

@HughDavis #VCRetreat Institute for Learning Innovation and Development Fully accredited programmes offered as MOOCs 29

@HughDavis #VCRetreat Institute for Learning Innovation and Development Coursera Specializations 30

@HughDavis #VCRetreat Institute for Learning Innovation and Development In future learning will be much more on-line MOOCs are a phase on the way to us understanding how to do online learning better MOOCs are not about to displace “place-based” Universities (although they may change our behaviours) My point is … 31

The Digitally Enabled University 32

@HughDavis #VCRetreat Institute for Learning Innovation and Development MOOCs are the vanguard of online degrees There is a lot of Venture Capital money out there looking for brands willing to go online The belief is that there are are new markets waiting for online opportunities Cheaper Course fees No boarding fees or travel Any time, and place Flexible (CPD) International markets lacking provision Online Degrees 33

@HughDavis #VCRetreat Institute for Learning Innovation and Development Blended Face-to-Face teaching e.g. Flipped Classroom Hybrid Degrees Some part F2F and some part online at distance Online/Distance Working with a partner? Outsource? Internal Investment? Options for Digital Engagement 35

Conclusions 36

@HughDavis #VCRetreat Institute for Learning Innovation and Development Old role of teachers To teach learners how to use the technology To teach them using the the technology New role of teachers To teach learners how to learn with the technology To communicate information effectively (digitally?) To provide engaging activities for learners (F2F or online) Summary 37
