SUMMARY:EDEN 2019 Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:EDEN Annual Conference Bruges #eden19 – Call for Contributions Open\nInvitation\nEDEN is pleased to announce its 28th Annual Conference hosted by the VIVES University of Applied Sciences in Bruges 16-19 June 2019. \nCONNECTING THROUGH EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY\nIn search for contemporary learning environments\nHow can information and communication technology in the age of Industry 4.0 create and enhance synergies between online learning programmes\, the increased diversity of stakeholders\, the workplace experience\, socio-cultural influences and students’ work-life balance? \nTechnology is with us everywhere which validates the horizontal-holistic approach for imperative questions of the period. For the transforming education landscape\, challenges come increasingly from the socio-cultural-economic\, structural and policy fields. Education has to be visionary to reach efficiency gains\, new sources – and to offer sustainable services\, reflecting the complexity of modern societies. \nMarket realities put similar pressures on the corporate and University worlds. Stakeholders expect academia to respond to needs beyond teaching and research\, better promote innovation and the knowledge economy\, manage the new student populations. Universities are expected to detect and attract talents\, be magnet of inputs from practitioners\, resulting cooperative surplus. \nVocationalisation of education also means the emergence of new skillsets. The progress in industrial automation and ICTs opens possibilities for lifelong learning resources\, for work based learning and integration of human-machine intelligence models. \nEducational technologies are about connections among information\, knowledge\, action\, emotion and value: knowledge construction\, learning activities by sharing and thinking\, interactivity\, aggregative mechanisms\, cooperation and integration – to meet the requirements of the knowledge age\, to satisfy the needs of social transformation and learning innovation. \nNew generation of learning technologies and networks are ubiquitous\, embedded and mobile which reshape access to and delivery of learning. Cutting edge fields are artificial intelligence\, learning analytics\, microlearning\, new credentialing\, revolution of assessment\, massive open online courses (MOOCs)\, personalized learning\, game-based learning\, flipped classroom\, Digital Makerspaces and alike. \nThe question remains: Which one(s) of these will have significant and sustained impact in the future? Can the network society become an enhanced learning society? \nConference tracks\nFor the EDEN 2019 Annual Conference\, the major tracks set-up will be: \n\n\nGlobal connections: How to organise online study programmes that enhance the students’ international competences\, provide connections with international partners and promote virtual mobility? \n\n\nConnections with workplace: How can innovative study programmes be developed to involve the workplace impact and experience (virtual dual learning\, (distance/digital) internships)? \n\n\nConnections with the community: How to organise study programmes that focus on relations of curriculum\, delivery and the socio-economic environment – like community service learning\, social partnerships\, interdisciplinary projects? \n\n\nConnection with learners: caring about the work-life balance of the students\, attentive to learners’ needs\, expectations and the changing behaviour of diverse student populations including career\, other studies\, family-life. \n\n\nCall for contributions\nContributions are invited which resulted from own research\, project achievements\, case studies\, theoretic and conceptual work onthe conference theme and tracks and the creative use of educational technology. \nSubmissions\, taking into account the conference theme and related to at least one of the conference tracks are welcome in paper\, poster\, workshop or panel discussion session and demonstration/technical presentation formats. \nNetworking and interactivity\, sharing and discussion will be core aspects of the conference\, focusing on what you can learn from and with your peers. \nJoin the conference in Bruges to share your research\, projects and experience to make the conference showroom of best ideas and cases! \nFor more details on the conference\, please visit the conference website.

SUMMARY:Consultation Open for Upcoming NStEP Strategy
DESCRIPTION:The Steering Group of the National Student Engagement Programme (NStEP) is currently developing a strategy for the future and would like to hear from all those studying or working in Irish higher education. The new strategy will determine how resources are directed and policies are shaped in the area of student engagement over the coming years. \nYour feedback is invited to help to shape and inform the strategic goals and actions of NStEP over the coming years. The consultation can be accessed here. \nNStEP was launched in 2016 to develop a national vision for enhancing and embedding student engagement within higher education. This national programme has brought together staff and students within their own contexts\, with the aim of fostering a culture of meaningful engagement. NStEP provides space for collaboration and capacity building\, for sharing ideas\, and for creating best practice to elevate the student voice and to implement student/staff partnerships. The national partnership of the HEA\, QQI\, and USI aims to champion student partnership at the strategic level and embed meaningful student engagement in future sectoral developments.

SUMMARY:Ahead Conference 2019 - Journey to Oz -Travelling Together Towards Inclusive Education
DESCRIPTION:In the classic story The Wizard of Oz\, Dorothy leads her charges through the Land of Oz to the Emerald City seeking a hearing from the all-powerful wizard. They hope to convince the wizard to use his powers to grant them all something they believe they are missing – the scarecrow\, a brain; the lion\, courage; and the tin man\, a heart. When the wizard turns out to be a charlatan\, all seems to be lost but with Dorothy’s encouragement and support\, her charges realise through the journey they have made\, that they already have the traits they wished for inside of them. \nStudents and staff in our further and higher education system are also on significant journeys – students are travelling the road to graduation and staff are navigating the move towards mainstreamed inclusion on campus. Much like in Oz\, they find that the journey itself is more important than the final destination and they find what they crave within them. \nThis international conference featuring over 50 different sessions\, delivered by more than 70 contributors\, spanning 4 continents of the world will ask: \n\nHow can our college services respond to an increasingly diverse student population and help them to release the potential within as they travel the yellow brick road towards graduation?\nHow can our teachers and academics\, recognising the journey that they themselves are on\, adapt their practice in our evolving inclusive institutions and like Dorothy\, be the catalyst our diverse students need to help them realise their aspirations?\nHow do our Disability Service Staff share their knowledge\, expertise and best practice with academics and wider student services to help them to ‘find their way home’ in this changing landscape?\n\nThis conference is for teaching staff\, student services staff and all others in the campus infrastructure interested in an inclusive approach. If students are your concern\, then there’s something here for you!
