Synergy Session D4
Synergy Working Groups
Building on the foundations of the short presentations delivered in the "Synergy Fairground" sessions (on Wednesday the 11th of June), 4 thematic Working Groups will allow the promoters of the introduced projects as well as non-presenting members of the audience to discuss overlaps and synergies between the represented initiatives and develop new ideas for future collaboration (whether that is the organization of a joint event, reciprocal piloting/peer review, community sustainability or a new partnership for a future project).
This session will have the following two themes covered:
- Synergy Working Group 1-TT (Digiskills): Inspiring teaching practices and competence development for ubiquitous learning
- Synergy Working Group 4-Bsn: E-learning courses to support businesses and employment
Workshop Session D5

How to Describe Study Programmes by Learning Outcomes It’s not as Hard as it Was Before
- Gottfried S. Csanyi, Vienna University of Technology, Austria, Alfredo Soeiro, University of Porto, Ana Dias, University of Minho, Rita Falcao de Berredo, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal, Carmen Royo, European Universities Continuing Education Network – EUCEN, Spain
According to Bologna principles, intended learning outcomes should play a significant role in the European HE system and help to build the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Some institutions already apply these principles and describe their courses, modules and programmes in terms of learning outcomes. The ECTS / European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (traditionally based on aspects of input) is not really helpful to push through learning outcomes (which define the output).
Some classification tools (like EQF, NQF, atlas of competences, ISCED classification of fields of education, Erasmus Subject Code, or learning outcomes database from VIRQUAL project), standardized terminologies (like the European Dictionary of Skills and Competences from DISCO project) and and guidelines to link learning outcomes to valid assessment methods in e-learning context might help to be more successful and efficient in translating traditional descriptions into Bologna oriented wording.
In this workshop the goal is to support those who are interested and willing to overcome technical hurdles and compensate lacking know-how for this rather new challenge.
Workshop Session D6

Arenas for Learning – Enhancing Student Interaction in Online Education
- Linda Reneland-Forsman, Alastair Creelman, Linnaeus University, Sweden
With this workshop we aim to use contemporary and own research to engage workshop participants in a collaboration around the consequences of the role of social for knowledge-building (i.e. meaning-making, commitment, motivation and engagement) and for how we design learning contexts with digital media.
Dealing with “social” in a digital learning environment has proven more of a challenge than actually handling technology. Pitfalls are design issues of the social element such as taking communication for granted when interactive media is used and also acknowledging the role of social but separating social communication from knowledge building processes. Social communication holds a key-role for implementing expectations on interactivity and dialogical conditions for learning.
Workshop content confronts the importance of changing interfaces, variation in representations, low transactional distance and creating a community worth participating in but as an inventory and sharing of participants’ knowledge and experience of digital media solutions.
Using the format of a learning cafe, both face-to-face and online, we aim to pool participants’ experience in this field and compile a list of experience, best practice and areas for development. We aim to record the workshop using Adobe Connect. The results of the session will be openly available on a common online workspace and further discussion and dissemination will be encouraged by starting a Facebook group.
