Simon Nelson Digital Transformation and the new pedagogy for online learning Advances in technology are changing the face of many industries and education is no exception. These technological advances, coupled with the changing needs of both students and universities in this new era, have paved the way for the rise of digital learning which opens up the potential to offer educational opportunities at a scale previously impossible. The promise of online learning is boundless; we can help everyone fulfil their potential by transforming access to education, but to deliver on this promise, we need to address:

• What the student of today expects, • The digital strategies that universities need to meet those student expectations, drive

recruitment, and help business and government to address skills shortages, and • How the pedagogy of teaching needs to change for the digital world

Simon Nelson is Chief Executive of FutureLearn, the leading social learning platform and first UK-based provider of massive open online courses (MOOCs), which has now evolved to offer fully online degrees. Following its first course run in October 2013, FutureLearn now works with over 150 leading universities, centres of research excellence and specialist education providers across the world and boasts over 6 million learners in 230 territories. In 2017, there are over 1,000 course runs scheduled including free and paid-for courses as well as fully online postgraduate degrees that promote lifelong learning and continuing professional development. Fiona Hollands Making Hard Choices Using Evidence and Data to Make Educational Technology Decisions Universities and colleges make hard decisions all the time about technology what to invest in, what to stop using, how to ensure maximum return on the investments they make. But how do they make these decisions? What is the evidence base they need to use to make the decision? Who should make the decision and what do they need to take into account when doing so? Based on a series of interviews and case studies, this presentation focuses on what education technology decision-makers need to know and evaluate when making significant investment decisions. Fiona Hollands is one of the authors of the recently released report “EdTech Decision-making in Higher Education.” She is the Associate Director and Senior Researcher at the Center for Benefit-Cost Studies of Education (CBCSE) at Teachers College, Columbia University. Fiona is particularly interested in the cost-effectiveness of technology-based

educational programs. She is the author of “MOOCs in Higher Education: Institutional Goals and Paths Forward.” Phil Hill Tomorrow’s Learning Platform - How are technology and learning support systems developing to enable engaged and effective learning? Significant developments in technology, learning design and assessment are occurring. Learning Management Systems (LMS) are adapting to these changes in different ways and leveraging better cloud design and integration with third-party technologies to support new approaches to course design and student work. Faculty are working to keep pace with these emerging technologies and institutions are faced with difficult choices about what systems to use to support their faculty and students. Phil Hill presents his thinking on the learning platform of the future. This will not be science fiction but rather will be a serious look at the likely developments between now and 2025. His focus is on the needs of learners and faculty members and the emerging designs for learning. The question he is addressing is: “how are technology and learning support systems developing so as to enable engaged and effective learning?” Phil Hill is a market analyst and expert on educational technologies such as learning platforms and learning apps and digital content, and he is a consultant who has worked with Western Governors University, California Community College System, Iowa State University, Bournemouth University, Pearson Education, Coursera, and others. Randy Best Perspectives on innovative learning experiences that make higher education more accessible and achievable for students Randy Best is chairman and CEO of Academic Partnerships and executive chairman of Whitney University System, Randy Best leads both companies' development of innovative learning experiences that make higher education more accessible and achievable for students in the U.S., Latin America and around the world. He has founded or acquired more than one-hundred private or publicly owned businesses. education.

Time to Take a Totally New Approach to Quality! Current Approaches to Quality Assurance can be a Barrier Rather than a Lever of Innovation For representatives of institutions interested in knowing more about the key processes of a new approach to quality which is a lever to innovation. Join Stephen Murgatroyd to explore:

• Major limitations current approaches to quality and quality assurance. • Key components of a new approach to quality, driven by student engagement,

analytics and smart contracts for learning. • Best practices from around the world of this new approach to quality assurance for

programs and courses. • Implications of this new approach to quality assurance for the design, development,

deployment and delivery of online learning. • Specific ways in which this new approach to quality assurance and quality

work enable rather than inhibit innovation.

Stephen Murgatroyd has extensive worldwide experience in the design of quality insurance systems, the quality review of academic programs and online learning institutional assessments in North America and Europe. As the former Dean of the School of Business at Athabasca University Dr Murgatroyd led the team that created the world’s first online MBA which has been ranked amongst the top 100 MBA programs in the world and in the top twenty online MBA programs by the Financial Times. He ran a large consulting practice and helped to create a learning technologies company which provided e-learning platforms for professional development and continuing education for European countries, as well as the Royal College of Nursing.

The FutureLearn Platform For representatives of institutions interested in knowing more about the FutureLearn platform and how it can help support their business objectives. FutureLearn, the leading social learning platform, was the first UK-based provider of massive open online courses (MOOCs), and has now evolved to offer fully online degrees on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Following its first course run in October 2013, FutureLearn now works with over 150 leading universities, centres of research excellence and specialist education providers in 22 countries across the world including over a quarter of the world’s top universities as well as organisations such as Accenture, the British Council, European Space Agency, Houses of Parliament, Raspberry Pi and Cancer Research UK. Earlier this year, FutureLearn signed up a host of American partners such as American University, AACTE, Colorado State University, Penn State University, Purdue University and UVA Darden School of Business.

The platform boasts over 6 million learners in 230 territories and in 2017, there are over 1,000 course runs scheduled including free and paid-for courses as well as fully online postgraduate degrees that promote lifelong learning and continuing professional development.

Join Simon to explore:

• The FutureLearn journey from MOOCs to fully online degrees • The social learning pedagogy behind the development of the platform and its

importance for enabling learning at scale • Simon’s insights into the challenges facing HEIs globally today • FutureLearn’s unique, community-focused, approach to working with its partners,

and • What’s next in terms of challenges and opportunities for the world of online learning

THE BIG SHIFTS ARE COMING! RICHARD KATZ

International analyst, scholar and advisor on technology and education in Mexico, Chile, Singapore, Switzerland, China, Australia, and Canada

• Will Google release a teaching chat bot or student bot peers that populate augmented reality classrooms to elevate dialog and elicit appropriate study behaviour? Will students debate about which of their peers are human and which are synthetic?

• Will FacultyOne, a Hollywood talent agency for maximizing the free-agent value of top faculty and instructors, help Google monetize their millions of online students? Will protecting academic “star power” lead the Screen Actors’ Guild to establish an Education Section?

• Will Facebook’s “Learning with the Stars” course catalog be a hit? • Will implants give us optical zoom eyesight, GPS-based augmented

reality, high-definition recording/playback and universal real-time language translation abilities?

• Will YouTube be our biggest training academy and will employers or licensing agents look to LinkedIn to evaluate our portfolio of micro credentials?

Faculty and instructors, researchers, academic decision makers and policy makers must ask themselves:

“Will plans and actions be pushed by the past, or pulled by the future?”

Like cinematic Tarzan, will we cling to one vine until we have its replacement in our grasp? And if we do so, will our roles as the stewards of post-secondary education slip through our fingers?

It’s time to explore, speculate, imagine, and reconsider our education and training horizons.
