Jeg har valgt gratis-workshops. 2 halvdags. Ettersom jeg var tidlig ute med påmeldingen i år kunne jeg velge og vrake i alle tilbudene. Erfaringene fra i fjor var at de mest populære ble fylt opp i løpet av oktober. Her har jeg lagt inn en beskrivelse av de jeg har meldt meg på, og fått bekrefta at jeg stå på lista.

Moving Ahead to Learning for All
Content
Although Open Educational Resources (OERs) are high on the agenda of social and inclusion policies and are supported by many stakeholders in the educational sphere, their use in higher as well as adult education has not yet reached a critical threshold. This represents an obstacle to the seamless provision of high-quality learning resources and practices for citizens’ lifelong learning demands. The reason is that the current focus in OER is mainly on providing better access to digital content. There is little consideration for whether this will assist educational practices or promote quality and innovation in teaching and learning.
UNESCO, together with ICDE, EFQUEL and a consortium of higher education organisations from several countries, have now launched an initiative to move ahead and promote Open Educational Practices (OEPs). The Open Educational Quality Initiative (OPAL) shifts the focus beyond access to innovative OEPs. OEPs are defined as practices which support the (re-)use and production of high-quality OERs through institutional policies, promote innovative pedagogical models and respect and empower learners as co-producers on their lifelong learning path.
In a first step, a huge number of case studies have been gathered and analysed, and a pan-European survey on the use and quality of open practices in the field of OER has resulted in the definition of a set of innovation guidelines for teachers and learners as well as managers of educational institutions and policymakers keen to move from the current situation of (just) providing OERs to a process of innovation and raising the quality of learning experiences through OEPs.
The workshop will provide a practical introduction to the guidelines and show how learners can become open learning professionals, how educational professionals can innovate their teaching and how the responsible actors in educational organisations can support OEPs within their institutions. Each participant will be provided with an individual tool to assess their readiness for usage of open educational resources. The analysis will result into an individual maturity profile and next steps to improve the individual capacity to improve ones own, the institutional or professional OEPs.

Useable Representations of Learning Design for Educators and Instructional Designers
Content
This workshop will give practitioners, instructional designers, educators and content experts opportunities to explore ways of representing learning designs, share them and discuss them using Web 2.0 technologies. Examples and case studies of Open Educational Resources projects will be discussed.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts in learning design and pedagogical patterns research with teachers, educational designers, content experts and teaching practitioners to exchange ideas on learning design and share their experiences of evaluating the application of various proposed approaches in practice. Proposed AgendaFirst, an overview of different types of learning design representations (in addition to LD tools) will be given. There will be a discussion on the way these can be used in different contexts. Then, any approaches relating to sharing, discussing and peer reviewing of learning designs in Web 2.0 spaces (e.g. Cloudworks) will be analysed and discussed.
After this introduction, participants will form groups and participate in hands-on activities which will give them an insight into some of the issues involved in making design processes more explicit. For example, they will be asked to map specific teaching strategies (e.g. Jigsaw, TPS, role-playing) in a learning design using the most appropriate types of learning design representations. The outcomes of the hands-on activities will be discussed at the end of the workshop.
Target AudienceWe invite educators, practitioners, instructional designers and content experts to attend this workshop. Participants will become acquainted with approaches to representing learning designs and will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities and join discussions about the joint development of learning designs and Open Educational practices, which can lead to improvements in the quality of e-learning across Europe. Participants do not need a thorough knowledge of learning design, but they should have some teaching experience or some experience of lesson planning and / or e-learning.AimsHow can designs be represented and what is the value and use of different forms of representation?
How can designs be shared and discussed; How might Web 2.0 approaches be used?
How can designs be used by teachers and educational practitioners?
How are different pedagogical approaches represented in different design representations?
