SUMMARY:Webinar: Data Literacy\, Privacy and Protection in Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:A national webinar entitled ‘Data Literacy\, Privacy and Protection in Higher Education’ is due to take place from 2-3pm on Thursday 22 October 2020. The webinar will be the first in a series of national webinars from the National Forum to take a closer look at key findings from the Irish National Digital Experience (INDEx) Survey.   \n\n\nAt this event\, key INDEx findings in relation to data privacy and data protection\, informed by close to 30\,000 students and staff who teach from across Irish higher education\, will be summarised and then explored with respect to teaching and learning\, institutional policies\, digital and data literacies\, and student-staff partnership. Considering the importance of institutions’ GDPR obligations and concerns about personal data privacy more broadly\, it is important to ensure students’ data privacy and protection\, to communicate clearly to the institutional community regarding related protective measures that are in place\, and to support both staff and students with the necessary knowledge and resources. With just half of students agreeing that their institution protected their data privacy\, fewer than a third agreeing that they were informed about how their personal data was stored and used\, and half of all staff who teach agreeing that they were informed about their responsibilities with regard to managing learner data securely\, the INDEx findings suggest that additional work is required on this issue.   \n\n\nA three-speaker panel will be moderated by Dr Catherine Cronin\, Strategic Education Developer\, National Forum. The speakers are:  \n\n\n\nKevin McStravock – Deputy President and Vice President for Academic Affairs\, Union of Students in Ireland. Kevin will provide a brief overview of students’ perspectives on data protection and privacy\, referring to INDEx findings\, as well as issues that students encounter when using the internet and electronic devices. \nDr Gearóid Ó Súilleabháin – Head of Department of Technology Enhanced Learning\, Cork Institute of Technology. Gearóid will explore data privacy and protection from an institutional perspective\, including examples of how INDEx findings have been built upon at CIT.  \nDr Bonnie Stewart – Assistant Professor of Online Pedagogy and Workplace Learning\, Faculty of Education\, University of Windsor\, Canada. Bonnie will explore how systems we rely on for scholarship and teaching increasingly translate digital experience into behavioural data and how the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread adoption of online learning amplify the need to address data literacies and practices in higher education. \n\n\nThis webinar will conclude with a panel-participant question and answer session. All are welcome to participate in the webinar. \nBookings are now open at https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/webinar-on-data-literacy-privacy-and-protection-in-higher-education-tickets-121215816771.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Creating and Sharing Open Educational Resources (OER)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will explore how to share resources which you have developed as open educational resources (OER) in order to facilitate sharing and reuse by others. Key topics will include choosing an open licence\, creating an open licence\, and considerations for sharing and reuse. The webinar will use the National Forum Open Licensing Toolkit as a reference guide. \nThe webinar will include guest speakers and will be facilitated by Catherine Cronin (National Forum). Guest speakers will share their experiences of creating and sharing OER developed in past projects in Irish higher education\, including what they have learned through the process. Catherine will share how the National Forum supports the use of open licensing and OER\, specifically for initiatives funded under the Strategic Alignment of Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund but also for other work developed within Irish higher education. \nPlease sign up here to participate — the webinar link will be shared with all participants in advance of the workshop. The webinar is open to all students and staff in Irish higher education. \nThis webinar supports the National Forum’s current strategy to promote agile\, responsive approaches to teaching and learning in an open digital world and to provide targeted support for those who guide and support the use of technology in teaching and learning.

SUMMARY:What constitutes ethical and effective use of our students’ data?
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW AT https://tinyurl.com/yhlvo952 \nMany of us in the higher education sector in Ireland are commencing a process of developing learning analytics capabilities and best practices. A critical success factor in the development of our learning analytics capabilities involves achieving clarity on the appropriate use of data. This is increasingly important given our responsibilities under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To this end\, Daltaí* project leaders are organising a half day seminar on January 22nd to capture and discuss the shared challenges we face in determining how we might use data in ethical and legally compliant ways to support our students. \nThe keynote for this session\, “Learning improvement\, data\, ethics and law” will be given by Andrew Cormack (Chief Regulatory Officer with JISC UK). Andrew has played a key role in developing a learning analytics code of practice for the UK higher education sector\, so we are delighted that he can join us and it will be a great opportunity to learn from his expertise and experiences. \nThis will be followed by a panel discussion where we will explore the perspectives of different stakeholders in Irish higher education on how we could/should use data to support our students. \nThe event will take place from 10:00am to 1:00pm on 22nd January in RD005\, Rathdown House\, Grangegorman. Lunch will be provided from 1-2pm. \nPlease note that as a National Forum-funded event\, places are restricted to those affiliated with an Irish higher education institution. Confirmation of places will be restricted to those who provide an institutional email address on registration.

SUMMARY:Digital Badge in UDL - Oct-Dec 2019
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We are delighted to announce that AHEAD and UCD Access & Lifelong Learning are teaming up in partnership with the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education to facilitate the Digital Badge for Universal Design in Teaching and Learning in a fully online format this Autumn/Winter. This course was developed by AHEAD and UCD as part of the Forum’s open courses initiative. The course will run for 10 weeks from Oct 3rd 2019 and will provide participants with a strong introduction to the Universal Design for Learning Framework and give them the opportunity to implement UDL approaches within the teaching activities they are currently undertaking. The course involves approximately 25 hours over the 10 week period\, averaging 2.5 hours per week with a 5 hour add on later in the course for those interested in becoming future facilitators of the course themselves. \nThis free iteration of the course is particularly aimed at individuals or groups of individuals who are interested in rolling out the badge themselves as a facilitator at a later date (e.g. for staff in their institution). For more information on the digital badge more generally and how facilitators can roll it out themselves\, visit the webpage. Please note\, since one of the aims of this iteration of the course is to train future facilitators\, we are limiting the number of participants per institution that can sign up to 3 should the course be over subscribed.

As our classrooms and lecture theatres become increasingly diverse\, our practices must also adapt to reflect the changing landscape of higher education.  Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework based on research in the learning sciences\, including cognitive neuroscience\, which guides the development of flexible learning environments that can accommodate individual learning differences and cater for the wide range of diversity in our lecture rooms. This CPD course will give you an introduction to the concept of Universal Design for Learning and invite you to review and update your own teaching and learning practice. \nPARTICIPANTS ON THE COURSE WILL:\n\nReflect on the diversity of students in their Institutions\nGain a good understanding of the Universal Design for Learning framework and how it can support diverse learners\nRedesign some elements of their teaching and learning practice based on their knowledge of UDL principles\nConsider how they will change their practice more broadly in line with a UDL approach\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register for this Course” shape=”square” color=”green” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fopencourses.teachingandlearning.ie%2Fdigital-badge-for-universal-design-in-teaching-and-learning%2F|||”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_accordion][vc_tta_section title=”How the Course Works” tab_id=”1567585487916-0a156c27-386d”][vc_column_text]The course is delivered via a mixture of webinars and guided multimedia resources\, with participants also working through group activities in online meetings as a group of three known as a Peer Triad. They will work together with their Peer Triad throughout the course. \nThe Peer Triad system means that you experience the course with other colleagues and share perspectives on the course content. At the end of the course\, each member of the Triad confirms to the facilitators that the others have taken part in the process and that plays a major role in the release of the digital badge to certify completion. \nOne of the major activities participants will undertake is to redesign a teaching activity they are actively delivering in line with UDL principles and to implement the redesign during the course. This redesign happens during weeks 5-9 of the course\, after the participant has undertaken significant learning about the UDL framework and sought advice from colleagues in their Peer Triad. Because of this\, participants must have some form of teaching activity scheduled during this period which they can redesign (e.g. a lecture\, workshop\, training event\, assignment etc.). \nAt the end of the process\, the Peer Triads will meet to discuss what they learned with each other and share a brief report on their experiences.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Course Entry Requirements” tab_id=”1567585487934-32439878-e354″][vc_column_text]Participants must: \n\nBe working as an educator in a teaching and learning capacity in further or higher education (can include any role where teaching/training is delivered to students/staff e.g. teacher\, librarian\, teaching enhancement staff\, disability officer that delivers training)\nHave a teaching activity (lecture/training session/class/assessment etc.) taking place between week 5 and 9 of this course (Oct 31st – Dec 04th) that they can redesign as part of the course.\nHave an interest in playing a part in rolling the course out themselves as course facilitators in the future (e.g. to other colleagues on campus)\n\nPlease note\, since one of the aims of this iteration of the course is to train future facilitators\, we are limiting the number of participants per institution that can sign up to 3 should the course be over subscribed. If we reach full capacity\, we will contact the latest participants to register from each institution to notify them of the situation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”IT Requirements” tab_id=”1567585574151-8abf2abc-753b”][vc_column_text]This course will feature both webinars and small group online meetings which means you will require a laptop/pc with speakers/headphones\, a webcam and a microphone (for best audio quality a headset rather than an internal laptop mic). The Zoom platform will be used for webinars so it’s a good idea to try and join this test Zoom link now in advance of the course starting and contact your IT administrators for advice if you have any problems. Similarly\, the Big Blue Button platform is used for online meetings – You can test your computer/microphone/webcam for use with Big Blue Button in advance of the course beginning by clicking here\, entering your name and clicking Join under the HTML5 link. \nSince lots of the material on this course is delivered through multimedia\, the course also requires a reasonably good internet connection capable of streaming video.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Key Course Dates to Put in Your Diary Now!” tab_id=”1567585604244-746ede5d-072e”][vc_column_text]Participants should put the key times and dates listed below in their diaries.
