Innovations changing the landscape of education in Europe since 2004
• The most influential technological innovations:– Open Educational Resources– Open Educational Practices– Virtual Mobility and international virtual exchange– Massive Open Online Courses– Open Science, open data– Learning analytics– Personalization and flexibility of learning– Recognition of open learning
EDEN Oxford RW8 – 2014 DEVELOPMENTS AND STATE OF THE ART/ OUTCOME
1. Online forms of education provision are no longer being seen as a curiosity or a niche market, but a central part of any HE institutional offer
2. Massive open learning emerged and resulted in disruption and transformation of education
3. HE meets the challenges of industrialization, demography, and globalization, direct impact of lifelong learning service provision needs
4. Diversification of target groups in HE makes considerable impact upon institution sustainability models
Institutions have to identify and apply sustainable and scalable sustainability models
• negative side effects • inadequate theoretical frameworks and established
practices• Innovations are introduced episodically• Confusion exists in terms of concepts and phenomena• Sudden and disruptive development, as well as
segmented integration of innovation in an organization often lose the desired effect and anticipated impact
• Such instances demonstrate irresponsible decisions, bring negative effect to strategic planning and may generate wrong feedback to European discussions on best practices
EDEN Oxford RW8 – 2014 DEVELOPMENTS AND STATE OF THE ART/ OUTCOME
IMPORTANT ACTIONS
Higher education institutions need to open up their organization, methods and services in order to be able to cope with the challenges of an open
educational culture
a need for solid research to develop new practice models built upon appropriate foundations which take into account the basic principles of open education and take the most out of the new networked social environments
EDEN Oxford RW8 – 2014 DEVELOPMENTS AND STATE OF THE ART/ OUTCOME
EDENRW8 DEVELOPMENTS• TEL concept has significantly changed existing dominant practices,
introduced innovations and continues to change the landscape of learning services at education institutions
• A broader concept of TEL has emerged implying the value of judgment of improved learning services for students and new, innovative scenarios in learning and teaching
• MOOCs – is a form of TEL!
New providers of TEL should try to base their approaches on the legacy of already existing research and best practices in order to keep the current high quality standards of practice.
MOOCs have not invented neither TEL nor online learning but the other way around.

IMPORTANT ACTIONS
Objectives for EDEN• To continue with the dimension of openness• To base new approaches on the legacy of already
existing research and best practices in order to keep high quality standards of practices
