eLearning“A form of formal or non-formal education aimed at attaining set learning goals, in which direct interaction between teachers and students as well as among student groups is facilitated by information and communication technology.“
![Page 5: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
ChallengesNeed to develop:
• New pedagogical solutions
• New teaching, learning and communication methods
• Access to technology, to e-learning
![Page 6: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
eLearning and Bologna• Mobility
– Programme mobility– Free movers?
• Credit systems, Qualification Frameworks, Accumulation
• The Social Dimension
• Attractiveness?
![Page 7: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Access• Responsibility of the state to provide its citizens
with free, high quality higher education and life long learning education…
• …and eLearning can´t be a way out of this responsibility.
• eLearning for the affluent few?• eLearning for the masses, on-campus education
for the elite?
![Page 8: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
eLearning & Access• eLearning can resolve problems of time &
distance• …but it´s not a way out of other responsabilities• eLearning isn´t cheaper than traditional
education• For some groups, it´s the only option!
![Page 9: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Skills• ICT contributes to new innovation in learning• integrates skills and experiences of life long
learners. • e-learning should only be used where it offers
qualitative and quantitative advantages over traditional teaching, such as providing access to new groups.
• E-learning can be seen as conferring ICT skills, reflecting labour market as well society
• Information society skills of non-traditional learner?
![Page 10: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Quality• Quality in eLearning is still an elusive
concept
• Thus, it must comply at least to the same standards as traditional courses at the HEI
• Close follow-up of content development and student experience
![Page 11: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mobility• There is no such thing as virtual mobility
(cf virtual food, virtual happyness)• eLearning can provide intresting solutions
before, during and after mobility• eLearning can facilitate
Internationalisation at Home• eLearning can be an option for students
that can´t be mobile• But please don´t call it Mobility
![Page 12: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
eLearning and Credits• As a general rule, an eLearning course
gives as many credits as its traditional equivalent
• There are no special vECTS
• If the workload is larger in eLearning, something else is wrong
• Integration into Qualifications Frameworks
![Page 13: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Student representation• As for all forms of HE, student
representation must be ensured
• Regulatory structure for all providers, alt code of good practice
• Provider must guarantee the election of course representatives at least
![Page 14: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pedagogical challenges• Both students and teachers/professors
need support
• Learning to Learn – virtually
• Learning to Teach – virtually
• Pedagogical aspects are widely undeveloped and also unresearched
![Page 15: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Free software – free people• Open Source is cheaper, more adaptable
and remains the HEI´s
• The threat of software patents
• Do not use proprietary/closed standards
• Students shouldn´t need to buy certain software (eg Microsoft Office)
![Page 16: eLearning in the Bologna Process](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56814e46550346895dbbc464/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Elearning ethics• Don´t read students´ e-mail
• Drop all “Big Brother“ ideas
