Description
Part 1: Plenary introduction about two
new ways of staff development from the Netherlands:
-
train the trainer
- online
didactics
The
train the trainer seminar has been carried out twice (once last
year and also this year). The seminar has been taught to a group
of educational consultants from institutions from all over the Netherlands
(15 participants in the first seminar and 15 participants in the
second seminar). The objectives for the train the trainer seminar
are:
- Exchanging
knowledge and experiences between e-learning trainers in using
electronic learning environments
- Exchanging
educational knowledge and experience relating to e-learning between
educational consultants
- Broadening
and reflecting on own experiences as learner in a digital learning
environment
Educational
themes were chosen by the participants, and groups of participants
were responsible for the design of a theme and for teaching this
theme to the other participants.
Part
2: Exchanging ideas / ways of staff development and networking between
the participants (plenary and in small groups).

From
Learning Technology Specifications to Interoperability

The lifecycle of learning technology specifications

Learning design (LD)
Description
This
session will explore the tasks involved in making this transition,
and in particular the scope for collaboration in carrying them out,
with respect to two areas:
- The
support of multiple pedagogies, including both single and multiple
user modes, with IMS Learning Design, derived from the OUNL's
Educational Modelling Language (EML). The tasks involved are those
of developing implementations, establishing interoperability,
developing innovative use supporting a wide variety of pedagogical
approaches in a wide variety of contexts, getting feedback and
then developing the next generation of specifications and systems.
- The
development of lifelong learning records, seen as an integration
of institutionally provided Transcripts & learner provided
Personal Development Planning Records (PDR). The development of
Applications Profiles based on the IMS Learner Information specification
will be explored, as will the larger key issues of: ownership,
control and the preferred implementation models and architectures
(centralised/decentralised/etc.).

Open
Archives:
Combining cultures to create an institutional e-Print archive -
the information manager meets the programmer to produce a new digital
academic service

Description
By attending this workshop you will learn about the new development
of institutional open access e-Print archives and how they will
contribute to a more dynamic academic service for research and teaching
in a global environment. In the process you will gain a better understanding
of the ways in which you can bridge cultural differences and build
on the diverse skills within a project team. We will use the tailoring
of the University of Southampton e-Prints archive (in the TARDIS
project http://tardis.eprints.org/
) from the free EPrints archive software http://software.eprints.org/as
our case study.
The
workshop will provide:
- a
non-technical overview of what OAI is and how it can help both
research archives and could also be applied to other material
such as teaching and learning tools, research data, recipies etc.
- An
overview of the GNU EPrints software. This will give people some
idea of what it can do. It will not be intended as a comprehensive
description. People can chat with me later if they want more in
depth information. I will also mention the "rival" tools
such as MIT/HP's DSpace and Greenstone, and try to give a (reasonably)
unbiased summary of the differences.
- An
explanation of the tardis project (but not in too much detail
as what we're doing is, I think, more releavant to the the people
at the workshop than why we're doing it.) We will then discuss
some of the cultural problems we have encountered - it turns out
that computer scientists and librarians have different approaches,
assumptions and goals with an institutional archive.
- We
will take questions and lead a discussion on the subjects covered.

Description
1)Dynamic
Patient Simulations as an inter-physician communication training
aid.
This
project entails the development of patient simulations that are
used by medical students at the Leiden University Medical Center
and the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam. Besides training their
diagnostic skills, emphasis is put on the communication between
physicians while treating a patient together, which is a common
situation in modern medical care. For this purpose twenty cases
were developed in the Dynamic Patient Simulator® (DPS), whereby
one simulation lasts about a week and is 'played' (real time) by
two students: one in each institution.
The
project and the program will be briefly explained, after which we
will try to treat one of these patients.
2)
Implementing ICT in the Language Classroom: Developing Strategies
that Work
The
potential of the web for computer-assisted language learning (CALL)
is widely acknowledged, but the contribution that virtual learning
environments (VLEs) can make towards untapping this potential is
still largely unexplored. This is one of the questions addressed
by the SURF Project Digitalenklas (“Digital Language Classroom”)
which aims to promote the use of ICT for language learning in Dutch
HE institutions. During this session a number of key aspects from
the project will be highlighted. These include:
- General-purpose
VLEs in relation to specific language-learning applications;
- Language
learning methodologies and the Common European Framework of Reference
for Languages;
- Implementation
strategies: staff training, support and facilitating the exchange
of web-delivered language learning materials between HE institutions
in the Netherlands.
Although
focusing primarily on the use of ICT for language learning, the
session should be of interest to anyone trying to find a balance
between subject-specific ICT applications and general-purpose VLEs.

eLearning
in the wider policy debate: shaping the character of life in the
Internet space and wider society

Description
This workshop aims to set the phenomenon of the widespread encouragement
by government for the uptake of computer mediated learning programmes
(e-learning), into a wider policy debate. It is argued that computer
programs embody values and that code is a key new tool of regulatory
power. This debate has implications for privacy, security, surveillance
and will influence equity of civic participation. However, the debate
most often takes place out of sight of learners and teachers, in
forums dominated by large manufacturers of software and publishers
of e-learning content. The proponents of e-learning standards and
specifications often assert the pedagogical neutrality of, for example,
IMS conformant e-learning platforms. The e-learning standards debate
is not only a debate about pedagogically appropriate platforms,
applications or content, it is arguably one of the most important
forces shaping the character of life in Internet space and wider
society for years to come.

wireless future?
Leader

Description
Within this workshop we will develop togehter a better insight
in the possibilities and limitations that wireless and mobile technologies
offer for (academic) education. After a short introduction on the
subject and the exeriences sofar at the University of Twente, we
will embark into a debate among the participants of the workshop.
Participants will be actively involved in the discussion as well
as in the appreciation of the different statements made. After a
lively and highly interactive session we will have a better understanding
of the ideas, thoughts and experiences of the different participants.Participants
are invited to send their specific question and ideas to Jeroen
van de Lagemaat at jeroen@ndix.net.

Assessment
and computer aided assessment (CAA)

Description
The aim of the workshop is to examine current state of play
and potential developments of Assessment and CAA. Participants will
explore the future of assessment and CAA including the purpose,
advantages and disvantages of CAA and how CAA techniques and technology
may evolve. These questions will be examined from the student perspective,
the quality perspective, the perspective of institutions and staff,
and from the technological perspective. Groups will be asked to
prioritise issues in order of importance in order to address global
questions, such as: "What do we want as staff, students, employers
from assessment in the future?" and, "How do we get the
technologies to do what we want?". These global questions will
be presented in feedback to the plenary session.
