Moving away from a one-size-fits nobody approach

(Interactive) presentation | The main goal of this workshop is to engage in a meaningful conversation about the (lack of) alignment between secondary vocational education and higher education in terms of educational formats. As flexible education is becoming one of the buzzwords, we wish to unbuzz it and find out which best practices are there and what can be done to align flexible learning paths between these two levels of education.

Through the looking glass 60 Brenda Vos & Sanne Krukkert (Acceleration Plan) Enhancing students' digital skills, using the Digital Competence Indicator

Presentation | During this presentation you will learn more about how to integrate digital competences in profiles (i.e. curriculum requirements or job profiles), using the Digital Competence Indicator. This tool focuses on the digital competences students and young professionals need, to prepare themselves for the jobs of the future. In the presentation, we will show how this tool works, what the immediate benefits are, and why integrating digital competences is so important.
Tureluur 20 Robert Schuwer & Marijn Post (Acceleration Plan) Meet the Field Lab Open Educational Resources!

Presentation | In this EPIC session, we will dive more into the concept of Field Labs for Professional Development and use the Field Lab Open Educational Resources to illustrate the process of developing Field Labs, and it's content.

Open Format | Towards digital (open) educational resources, is quite the challenge! On a national level, but also within institutions. In this session, we share the results of the national collaboration and the translation knowledge institutions made for their own teachers and students. Several Dutch knowledge institutions share their perspective and how they translated the national efforts to their own perspective and lifted digital (open) educational resources to a higher level within their institution.

Using qualitative research methods to understand online learning behaviour

Presentation | Effective implementation of blended learning requires that we understand why students show particular online learning behaviour. In the end, using learning analytics is not sufficient: Qualitative data help to explain online learning behaviour. In this session, I present profiles of online learning behaviour during a large-scale law course and show how logbook and interview data help to understand these profiles of online learning behaviour.

So you think you can dance? Show me!

Presentation | Some bachelor students are able to define and find their own learning experiences and prove their competencies when achieved. Coaching is key. Focus on producing, recording, and validating "proof" on the way is the most important step for students to take.

Supporting professional communities on OER - The DUTCH approach

Open Format | If you create, share and reuse open educational resources, it is absolutely essential to collaborate! In the Netherlands, we organize this in communities. Learn all about the national community on OER and the focus on collaboration in Professional Communities. After a brief introduction, several professional communities will talk about challenges and give tips and tricks. We will connect with participants in the session in an interactive way and you will leave with concrete ideas on how to start sharing and reusing with your own community or how you can support communities at home!

Towards Intelligent Experiences: Transforming learner and institutional success

Presentation | The right data underpins a university’s vision to deliver a world-class higher education experience for all students. Join Blackboard to discuss how to leverage the right data responsibly to transform learner and institutional success at scale: create intelligent experiences for students on campus, use data to build a more informed, personalised teaching and learning experience, understand and optimise every dimension of your institution with the right data.

Effective use of digital opportunities: It begins and ends with lecturers

Facilitated discussion | The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on higher education have shown us that teaching professionals are the key to educational innovation. They deserve support and opportunities for personal growth, especially when it comes to effective use of technology in their daily classroom practices. The question is: how can we make sure all our lecturers are well-equipped to use digital opportunities in their curricula and instruction in an effective manner?

In the Dutch Facilitating professional development for lecturers’ zone of the Acceleration Plan Educational innovation with IT, 17 institutions are jointly working on facilitating professional development (PD) of lecturers. Several publications and products are developed that support effective PD at all levels of higher education. In this session, we will interactively discuss the above-mentioned question within the following themes (with publications/products developed by the members of the zone):

  • Effective Professional Development for lecturers in higher education
  • Sharing good practices that stick
  • An integral approach to professional development in higher education
  • Focusing on educational support staff
  • An exploration of functions and roles  in higher education with recommendations for practice

Empowering higher education in adopting digital learning: A needs analysis

Presentation | The European POWERHEAD (Empowering Higher Education in Adopting Digital Learning) project aims to answer the following questions: Given today's context, what do institutions need from the government to develop a digitalisation policy? And how can institutions further shape their digitalisation policy?

During this presentation, current insights and common needs related to digitalisation in higher education will be presented. These common needs were identified by means of focus groups with diverse stakeholders in higher education in Flanders and Latvia, and will be further enriched and validated by other European countries.
