FROM DISTANCE LEARNING TO OPEN EDUCATION – Alain Tait (EDEN15, Barcelona)

Design by Maria Calvet

The Role of Openness in Education: A historical reconstruction(Peter & Deimann, 2013)



“As access to educational resources outside the school walls increases, as new tools for informal learning emerge, there are calls for the school to fragment itself into millions of personalized learning environments, to become an integral part of the homes, workplaces and streets of a learning city. The future for the school, in some visions of the next two decades, is that it should disappear.”

Keri Facer, Education, technology and social change, 2011

A NEW GENERATION OF ODNL PRACTICE IS EMERGING

• From a niche to mainstream: ODeL landscape has been rapidly changing with a growing number of new institutional providers starting operations.

• Scalability has become critical and new forms of delivery are having a wide impact on society (ex: MOOCs).

• The number of practitioners is expanding dramatically, but most are not experts and are not involved in professional associations.

• The massification of ODeL practice challenges the status of the “expert”.

• How can we support expertise in this scenario?



A NEW GENERATION OF ODNL PRACTICE IS EMERGING

• Research is shifting towards deeper learning and higher skills development while the renewed interest in measuring learning accompanies the trend towards an increased personalisation, fostered by the proliferation of smart mobile devices and the success of the BYOD philosophy.

• As ODnL practice expands and crosses borders, “quality” is needed not only as a factor of distinctiveness and differentiation, but also as a facilitator of mobility and interoperability.

• How can a new paradigm of teacher training practices in ODnL designed as immersive real experiences be rapidly disseminated worldwide?

There’s a role for expertise and a mission for the experts



A NEW GENERATION OF ODNL PRACTICE IMPLIES A NEW EDEN AGENDA

• The complex and changing nature of the field of practice and the community calls for a holistic approach.

• Engage the individual actors but also crowd source.• Support the development of quality research in an integrated and

holistic way, improving the transferability of its results to the field of practice, and also as a basis for political decision-making.

• Assure the cross-generational continuity of the European ODnL legacy (theoretical foundations and experience).

• Globalize activities and impact by generating interdependences with partner organisations through alliances and open collaboration.

• The Next-Gen EDEN will look at the ODnL scholar and professional from a lifelong perspective.
