The aim of this scoreboard is to highlight the huge potential that European institutions have in the world of OER and to help visualize this potential by compiling the existing European-provided MOOCs available on different open websites. European MOOCs are those provided by European institutions, regardless of the platform that hosts them. All of the MOOCs accounted for in the scoreboard are also listed in the MOOC aggregator on this website. Please refer to our FAQ for more information about how this scoreboard is built, what are the sources of information and how the visualization works.

This brochure gives an excellent overview of the running projects as well as of the upcoming H2020 ICT call 2 Technologies for better human learning and teaching.

Emergent Learning Model The ELM is an attempt to take forward the Open Context Model of Learning, which essentially are fresh ideas about how to re-conceptualise the processes of learning by taking account of the affordances of web 2.0 technologies. The Open Context Model of Learning is a way of thinking about the relationships of learning such that a (teacher) develops both a subject understanding as well as an ability in the (learner) to take forward their learning in that subject. That is often taken to mean through classroom interactions, but it doesn't have to mean only that, it could start with learner interactions; conversations, interests and collaboration.

The Heutagogic Archives provides comment on various aspects of 21st Century Learning from the perspective of the Learner-Generated Contexts Research Group. They are written by fred garnett (at gmail) and are sometimes complemented by comments from some of the others in that loose affiliation. The title comes from the Open Context Model of Learning, our view of a post web 2.0 pedagogy which incorporates the heutagogic playing with form, based on andragogic collaboration, that allows us to create something new; innovatively opening up possibilities for new futures; what we call the PAH Continuum, best discussed in the Craft of Teaching 2011. We would like to see learner-centred co-creation processes driving the education system.

This project sought to assist partner countries move to EQARF through transferring an online assessment tool, developed on a previous project to meet the needs of EFQM and ISO 9000, and adapting it to the requirements of national and other quality frameworks in use in these countries. By extending an already existing TQM model based on the requirements of both EFQM and EQARF, the ACES solution helps to allow a better approach to benchmarking in the VET sector across the EU. After the piloting of the solutionnacross the partner countries,a number of case studies were written up based on the findings of the testers.

About the Digital Media and Learning Competition The Digital Media and Learning Competition is an effort designed to find and to inspire the most novel uses of new media in support of learning. Over the past 5 years, the Competition has awarded $10 million to more than 100 projects in 20 countries that explore how technologies-including games, mobile phone applications, virtual worlds, social networks, and digital badge platforms-are changing the way people learn and participate in daily life. The Competition is supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and administered by HASTAC (the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory). This endeavor invites U.S. and international participants to compete for approximately $2 million in grant awards for domestic and international projects that use digital or new media as platforms for connected learning. Over the years, Digital Media and Learning Competition partners have included Sony (Competition 3), EA (Competition 3), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (Competition 4), Mozilla (Competitions 4&5), the Born This Way Foundation (Competition 5), Facebook (Competition 5), and the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI, Competition 5).  

DISCO, the European Dictionary of Skills and Competences, is an online thesaurus that currently covers more than 104,000 skills and competence terms and approximately 36,000 example phrases. Available in eleven European languages, DISCO is one of the largest collections of its kind in the education and labour market. The DISCO Thesaurus offers a multilingual and peer-reviewed terminology for the classification, description and translation of skills and competences. It is compatible with European tools such as Europass, ESCO, EQF, and ECVET, and supports the international comparability of skills and competences in applications such as personal CVs and e-portfolios, job advertisements and matching, and qualification and learning outcome descriptions.

Pour la première édition du Comptoir des Héros, l'apéro-débat festif et créatif du magazine Labyrinthe, l'équipe de la rédaction vous propose d'aborder thème de l'Economie Collaborative ! « Crise » et « Mondialisation » sont les mots (ou maux ?) qui auront bercé la génération Y.  Dépassant les constats fatalistes et acrimonieux de ses dirigeants, la génération des « révolutions horizontales » ne cesse de se questionner et d'inventer de nouveaux modèles alternatifs. Pour le moments encore souterrains, certains de ces modèles pourraient pourtant vite se généraliser, tant les réponses qu'ils apportent font preuve de pertinence et d'inégniosité. C'est le cas de l'économie collaborative ! Du crowdfunding à la diffusion gratuite et illimitée des connaissances en passant par la culture du hacking et le partage de biens entre pairs, les principes de l'économie collaborative bousculent l'ordre établi d'une société hautement hiérarchisée et individualiste fondée sur la centralisation du pouvoir, des ressources et des savoirs.

Digital Badges: An Annotated Research Bibliography selected and annotated by Sheryl Grant and Kristan E. Shawgo and published on HASTAC on February 27, 2013. (Looking for the Badges for Learning Research collection? Click here.) This bibliography has been curated by Sheryl Grant, Director of Social Networking for the HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competition, and PhD student at the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) and annotated by Kristan Shawgo, HASTAC Special Projects Manager and Ci-BER Library Liaison, and recent MSLS graduate from SILS at UNC-CH.  Why a Badges Bibliography? Following the  flood of response to the HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation's Badges for Lifelong Learning initiative in 2011, and the release of Mozilla's Open Badges Infrastructure, HASTAC decided to assemble this Badges Bibliography v.1 as a humble attempt to organize the universe of knowledge about digital badges. More importantly, we hope this bibliography will come to represent a cross-disciplinary approach that inspires questions, perspectives, and approaches to badges that reflect the inherently collaborative nature of badge systems.

What is Flipped Learning? Flipped Learning occurs when direct instruction is moved from the group teaching space to the individual learning environment. Class time is then used for active problem solving by students and one-to-one or small group interactions with the teacher. Students can watch the short lessons as many times as they wish to grasp the content and come to class ready to jump into the lesson, answer questions, work on collaborative projects, and explore the content further. Educators are embracing Flipped Learning in elementary, secondary and higher education in all subjects. More information about the FLN, including board members, staff and contact info can be found in the left nav bar.
