This document explores different modes of distance education provision in the African context, including fully online, blended, and offline models. It presents these options along multiple continua or dimensions, including the extent of digital technology integration, geographic distribution of teachers and learners, and level of interaction. The key dimensions discussed are the spatial separation of learners and teachers, the level of digital and Internet support, and whether engagement is synchronous, asynchronous, or a mix. The document emphasizes the need to choose approaches that support pedagogical goals and match learners' and teachers' technology profiles and contexts.
The document outlines the Berta Project, which aims to (1) collate open educational resources (OERs) relevant for training teacher educators in quality online and distance education (ODeL) in Africa, (2) organize the OERs into a course format to empower teacher educators to adapt the resources for their contexts, and (3) develop the resource in consultation with stakeholders. The project methodology involves finding appropriate OERs, integrating them into a program organized into 4 thematic modules on program design, assessment, student support, and using ICT tools, and getting feedback from stakeholders through webinars and conferences. The final version will be published under a Creative Commons license for open use.
The document summarizes a study on the position, challenges, and potential for promoting open educational resources (OERs) at the Open University of Tanzania (OUT). The study found that while OUT utilizes resources from organizations like African Virtual University (AVU) and OER Africa, it lacks a comprehensive OER policy. Staff are willing to develop, integrate, and use OERs but need training. The document recommends that OUT develop an OER policy, provide OER training to staff, and collaborate with other institutions to promote OERs in Africa.
MM6 Exploring potential of open badges MallinsonBrenda Mallinson
This document discusses open digital badges and their potential use. It begins by providing context on open education initiatives and the concept of micro-credentials. It then defines digital badges, describing their elements and how they can represent achievements, goals and skills. The document outlines a pilot using badges in Moodle for an online course. It finds participants were interested in badges and the Moodle system performed as expected. It concludes by reflecting on principles for using technology in education and lists useful badge tools and projects.
This document provides an introduction to digital badges, including what they are, why they are used, and how badge systems work. Digital badges are visual symbols that represent achievements and communicate success online and across networks. They are embedded with information about criteria and can be stacked and transferred. Badge systems have issuers who award badges, badges themselves that represent criteria, earners who complete tasks, storage for hosting badges, and ways to display badges. Tools exist for designing, issuing, storing, and displaying badges. Digital badges can be used by organizations to recognize internal achievements and skills not on traditional certificates.

This document discusses using offline solutions for online and blended learning in universities in sub-Saharan Africa. It describes a project that aimed to build capacity for online course design and delivery using a virtual learning environment (VLE) like Moodle. However, many universities in the region faced issues like unreliable internet access. Possible solutions explored included portable versions of Moodle called Poodle that allowed offline access to full courses on USB drives. While this helped with skills development and access, internet was still needed for communication and interaction. Synchronization between online and offline versions also needed improvement. Overall, offline VLEs showed potential but also challenges that institutions would need to address through support and clear planning.

The workshop aims to help participants make pedagogically informed decisions about using digital technologies in course design. During the workshop, participants will learn about conceptualizing learning design, applying design tools and methods, critiquing pedagogical approaches, and developing a storyboard for their course. The workshop covers seven components of the 7Cs learning design framework and includes several hands-on activities for participants to work through.
The document summarizes a workshop on integrating digital and information literacy into university curriculums. It introduces the Viewpoints project which provides tools to help curriculum design. The workshop involved breakout groups using information skills theme cards to address scenarios and map principles to a student learning timeline. Participants shared that the resources provided useful prompts for consideration and facilitated discussion on integrating digital capabilities.
This is the presentation that was delivered to the Viewpoints team at the first 'data day' - its aims were to show the immediate team the current stage of development and to discuss the data implications of the user interface and user choices.

Participants shared that the resources provided useful prompts for consideration and facilitated discussion on integrating digital capabilities.
The document describes the augmented 7Cs of Learning Design framework, which can be used to design or redesign modules. It then provides 15 activities (A1-A15) that guide users through the learning design process. The activities address topics like identifying course features and resources, mapping learning outcomes to assessments, and devising evaluation criteria. The overall purpose is to help academics and instructors systematically plan their course or module design using constructive alignment and ensuring a balanced variety of learning activities and technologies.
By the end of the Carpe Diem workshop, participants should be able to create a blueprint poster with a mission statement and outcomes for their module design. They should also be able to create a storyboard showing content sequencing and assessments. Participants will build at least two prototype online activities and get feedback from students. On the second day, participants reflect on their designs and build out a prototype activity. They then get feedback from student reality checkers and review their designs to see what needs adjustment.
The document discusses the 7Cs of learning design, which are a framework to help conceptualize, create, communicate, and consolidate effective course designs. It outlines the 7Cs as conceptualize, communicate, consider, create, collaborate, consolidate, and continue. The document then provides an example agenda and activities for a workshop to help educators learn and apply the 7Cs of learning design to their own courses through reflective exercises like developing course features, maps, resource audits, activity profiles, and storyboards.

ABC is an effective and engaging hands-on workshop that has now been trialled with great success over a range of programmes.
In just 90 minutes, using rapid prototyping, teams work together to create a visual ‘storyboard’ outlining the type and sequence of learning activities and highlight assessment and feedback opportunities.
Designing and implementation of the course planShahida Perveen
The document discusses the key components of designing and implementing lesson plans and syllabi. It defines a lesson plan as a written guide that helps teachers achieve learning outcomes and considers factors like knowing your students, the content, and instructional materials. A syllabus provides the overall content and objectives of a course. The document outlines the main elements of a lesson plan such as objectives, materials, procedures, and assessments. It also presents three common models for lesson plans: Gagne's events of instruction, Hunter's seven steps, and the 5Es model. Finally, it discusses characteristics and types of syllabi, such as structural, functional, and topical.

What are OER?
What is possible with OER, that’s different from fully copyrighted materials?
Where can you find OER and how do you assess quality?
How do you release your own teaching materials as OER? (Looking at Creative Commons licensing)
This document summarizes the evaluation of a Digital Fluency Course implemented at the Open University of Tanzania from 2014 to 2017. The course consisted of 5 modules that covered digital fundamentals, working with open educational resources, learning design and development, academic integrity, and managing digital resources. The evaluation found that the course increased availability of learning materials, reduced costs by removing copyright restrictions, and built capacity through communities of practice. Challenges included low participation rates, requests to keep modules open-ended, and developer challenges around pedagogical approaches and time constraints. Lessons learned included the need for clearer requirements, longer duration, and acknowledging facilitation as an institutional responsibility.

5 modules: Digital Fundamentals; Working with OER; Course Design & Development for online provision; Academic Integrity in a Digital Age; Storage and Access of Digital Resources.
This document discusses using open educational resources (OER) to help mitigate gender inequality in STEM education. It provides context on current research showing barriers that lead to fewer women in STEM fields. These include beliefs, self-efficacy, motivation factors, and lack of role models. Contemporary STEM initiatives from around the world are described that aim to increase women's participation. The document then outlines how aspects of open education like OER, open licensing, and open access can help provide opportunities and flexibility to support women in STEM. It proposes a framework for OER to play a role in research, practice, enabling factors, and regulatory policy to address this issue.
Open Approach to Mitigate Gender Inequality in STEMBrenda Mallinson
This document discusses using openness and open educational resources (OER) to help mitigate gender inequality in STEM education. It provides context on current research showing factors that influence fewer women in STEM like implicit bias, self-efficacy, and historical stereotypes. Contemporary STEM initiatives from around the world aim to increase women in STEM but more work is needed. The principles of open education could help by providing flexible learning opportunities, open virtual labs, reducing costs, and addressing local contexts. A framework is proposed with four components: regulatory policies and standards, research and innovation, practice of open pedagogy, and enablers like role models and peer support, to support women in STEM through open education.
The focus of this hands-on workshop is the OUT Digital Fluency course for Academic staff/faculty. This course is designed to build capacity for educators in relevant topics to support their work in the higher education sector via enhanced digital skills. The notion of ‘fluency’ implies more than literacy - it seeks to promote a state where pedagogical purpose takes centre stage and digital / online technologies are used as tools without providing an inhibiting obstruction to the educator.
eLU 2015 Mallinson - Moving from Literacy to FluencyBrenda Mallinson
It is recognised that more than ‘literacy’ is needed in today’s HE academic environment in order to take full advantage of the affordances of using ICTs for the full range of teaching and learning, research, and administrative duties and blended modes of provision. In order to address this issue, OUT, in collaboration with Saide’s OER Africa initiative, has conceptualised a course on ‘Digital Fluency’ to be provided as an Open Educational Resource (OER) and made available for OdeL provision.
Modelling openness: Developing the Digital Fluency course at OUTBrenda Mallinson
It is recognised that more than ‘literacy’ is needed in today’s academic environment in order to take full advantage of the affordances of using ICTs for the full range of teaching and learning, research, and administrative duties and blended modes of provision.

The move from literacy to fluency encompasses effective and ethical online communication, critical interpretation, quality resource creation and curation, knowledge co-construction, and an understanding of using all of these abilities to open up education – with all of these becoming increasingly standard and effortless over time.
Exploring Modes of Education Provision in the African ContextBrenda Mallinson
This document discusses modes of distance education provision in the African context. It explores continua of online and blended modalities, from fully offline to fully online. It presents models that characterize modes of delivery based on structural aspects like pedagogical approach, target audience, and level of interaction. Dimensions of provision include the spatial separation of teachers and learners, the extent of digital support, and temporal flexibility. Principles for the effective use of educational technology emphasize embracing opportunities while preserving pedagogical integrity, and being adaptive to change while mindful of context.
1) The document outlines a quality assurance process used for developing online courses at 7 African universities as part of a project aiming to enhance educational technology and address challenges in higher education.
2) The process involved 6 steps: course design, internal review, external review preparation, external review, course revision, and review validation. Courses underwent capacity building, multiple rounds of peer and external review using a quality rubric, and revision based on feedback.
3) Successes reported by course developers and reviewers included improved course quality and validation of design approaches. Challenges included a lack of prior access to review criteria and insufficient time for addressing feedback. The outcomes were recommendations to support quality improvement and sharing of courses and
eLU 2013 Incubating online course design and developmentBrenda Mallinson

It provided workshops on online pedagogy, course design, and learning management systems. Academics developed online courses with support from internal teams. Successes included increased skills and collaboration. Challenges included unreliable internet access and staff changes. Outcomes were more online courses and open educational resources. Lessons highlighted the need for institutional support and treating online learning design as an iterative process.
AVU Conference 2013 Modes of Edu delivery final 0 1Brenda Mallinson
This document discusses modes of education delivery in the digital age. It outlines a continuum of delivery modes from fully face-to-face to fully online, and identifies dimensions including spatial separation of teachers and learners, temporal alignment of instruction, and extent of digital support. The author proposes a model with these three dimensions to characterize different delivery modes and their structural and pedagogical aspects. The document advocates for a blended approach and emphasizes the importance of interaction, engagement, and appropriate mediation in online learning environments.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

Editor's Notes
This full-day, hands-on workshop draws on the latest thinking on learning design (Conole, 2012, Designing for learning in an open world, New York: Springer). It comprises a series of activities that will be carried out individually or in small groups, which will enable participants to reflect, in different ways, on a learning design project of their own (either an existing course you want to improve, or a new course you want to design). The workshop will help participants develop a balanced variety of teaching activities to address the wide range of expectations of adult learners in the 21st century, and to reuse Open Educational Resources (OER) where appropriate.
Give them a few minutes to think about this if necessary.
Use icebreaker to form groups
