Read "4 Lessons From Moving a Face-to-Face Course Online"
Online courses were once well outside the higher-education mainstream, derided as glorified distance-education or trumped-up correspondence courses by those who saw them as the opposite of what a college experience should be. In the last 10 to 15 years, however, spiraling enrollment pressures and a brutal fiscal environment have pushed many colleges and universities into an online presence they might never have anticipated a few planning cycles ago.

Read "Recognition of open online learning – the story so far" by Gabi Witthaus
On 28th March I was honoured to give the opening address at the e-Valuate work conference for nuffic in Den Haag. The e-Valuate project (Evaluating e-learning for academic recognition) aims to develop toolkits and guidelines to enhance policy for the recognition of new forms of online learning in the European Higher Education Area.

Read "Slice of Life: The Fortnite Effect" by Kevin's Meandering Mind | Author | dogtrax
(Slice of Life is a month-long writing challenge to write every day in March, with a focus on the small moments. It is hosted by Two Writing Teachers. This year, I’m going to pop in and out, but not write daily slices, as I did for the past ten years of Slice of Life. You write, too.)

Read "Reclaim the Robot" by Stephen Downes
OK, at $3,000 each they're way too expensive, but if I want any toy to play with before I retire I want this. Jim Groom had one of these telepresence robots working in his office, and from everything I can see, it would be perfect for remote meetings and events (especially since it allows for the informal conversations in the hall that invariably follow). Groom writes, " You can control the robot from the browser, and adjust the height of the “head” which is an iPad mounted on a modded segueway. When you lower the 'head' the robot can move pretty quickly, and you have more control to get around. One you are ready to stay put, you can park the robot and share links, pictures, videos, etc."

Read post "Institutional values and institutional behaviours: an open letter to Alison Johns (CEO of Advance HE)" by shorrock – follow the dot
The reason I was writing was that Advance HE had run an event earlier that day about the preparedness of higher education for the fourth industrial revolution with the title and associated hashtag #BraveNewWorld. I wasn't at the event myself but I was following the Twitter back-channel with interest when I picked up on a suggestion that there was something rather unbalanced about the programme: it was suggested that there were twelve men speaking at the event but no women. Twelve men, no women.

Read Is sharing caring? – #OpenBlog19 by Neil Withnell
Being a strong advocate of open education, and the desire for education to be freely available to everyone, the answer is relatively easy. Following a career as a qualified nurse (a caring profession, so yes I care) I entered the world of Higher Education (some 16 years ago) and recall my first few days. I was nervous, as I was new to teaching, but was constantly reassured by more experienced colleagues who shared their work to support me. Yes, I was an experienced nurse but a little out of my comfort zone with some of the topics within the curriculum, this sharing by colleagues was caring.

Read Doing Digital Transformation #OpenBlog19 by Scott Turner
As someone whose career and interests revolve around Science, Engineering, Computing and how we teach these subjects, it is not going to be a surprise to anyone that I see the digital transformation as a largely exciting. But, I am not entirely sure though I know what exactly it means.

Read Be Kind, Reclaim by bavatuesdays - Jim Groom
Meredith, Lauren, and I are gearing up for the OER19 conference in Galway in a couple of weeks, a trip we are all looking very much forward to. In fact, I have a post due quite soon for the OER19 blog, which will hopefully explain why Reclaim feels such a strong sense of kinship with the folks that run the OER conference.* Anyway, part of what we will be doing this year, unlike last, is actually sponsoring the conference as Reclaim Hosting as opposed to one of out satellite outfits like Reclaim Video or Reclaim Arcade. This is something I did not think we would ever do, but again that is fodder for the other posts I still need to write … dammit!

Read #OpenBlog19: The library of the future is… by Maren Deepwell
The library of the future is a place where you can find what you are looking for. A place in which to discover the unexpected. A refuge in which you can retreat from the world and find peace and quiet and contemplation. The library of the future is somewhere you can loose hours, days or whole years to following the red thread of inspiration. The library of the future is free and open to all.

Feedback or Finding Out? – A Reflection on Learning Observations and Walkthroughs by Aaron Aaron
When it comes to change and transformation, a strategy often used to support the process is the classroom visit. The question though is whether the greatest benefit of such walkthroughs and observations is the feedback provided to the teacher or what we learn as an observer?

Rachel Challen on PebblePad by Rachel Challen
The most valuable lesson I ever learned...is that most people suffer from elements of Imposter Syndrome. In fact, this is the very reason this post has taken a few days to write because I saw other posts and thought what could I possibly offer that hasn't already been thought about, spoken about, written about and might be worth 2 minutes of someones time.

#OpenBlog19 The most valuable lesson I ever learned… by Wayne Barry
My most ‘valuable lesson’ then is learning from my mistakes. Some mistakes will be inconsequential, others can be life-changing. This requires us to take risks and build up resilience. When something goes wrong, you pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start again.
