Workshop Session D5
- ICDE-EDEN Joint Workshop on Open and Distance Learning Futures: The Increasing Societal Impact of Online Education, Demanding Leadership for Change
- Antonio Moreira Teixeira, Universidade Aberta, Portugal, Gard Titlestad, International Council for Open and Distance Education – ICDE, Norway
The growing need for education clearly outstrips the capability to respond in ways that are efficient and sustainable using traditional formats. Open, distance and online learning may be the only way of meeting current societal needs, increasing costs and students expectations. However, institutions need to change in order to be able to embrace this challenge. Leadership will be critical in this process. To contribute to the discussion, ICDE and the EDEN Fellows, as the European think tank for distance and eLearning, organize a workshop on how increasing societal impact of online education calls for leadership for change. The output of the workshop will be presented in a panel discussion to be held at the SCOP 2013 meeting, Leadership for change in the Time of Openness.
Workshop Session D6
- Anchor your Learning and Make it Last!
- Alan Bruce, Universal Learning Systems, Ireland, Lucia-Elena Petrescu, Anca Cristina Colibaba, EuroEd Foundation, Romania
Durable education and lifelong learning are based on learners motivation as much as on their satisfaction. Brain studies have shown that learners motivation is directly connected to reward (both intrinsic and extrinsic) and that study satisfaction is the result of the dynamics between the two. Traditional educational approach still prioritises information quantity over its potential for exploitation in real-life contexts which is one of the major causes for students demotivation. MyStory project has developed a series of materials which can be easily valorised to motivate learners engaged in the study of various subjects (history, art, medicine, active citizenship). Placing learning in real-life situations activates students orientation systems and encourages them to filter their own intake and output. Let every eye negotiate for itself and trust no agent. The workshop will thus present and discuss the issue of enhancing student motivation through school education so as to raise awareness on individual leaning needs and contextualised use of knowledge and abilities prior graduation.
