Museum Education for Professional Development: How to Use Heritage to Create Training Experiences for Both Hard and Soft Skills (Virtual Talk)

Maria Rosaria Re, Ph.D.
Research Fellow, Dept. Education, University Roma Tre
Assistant Professor, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia
Rome, Italy

The role of museum heritage as an agent of social and economic development has been demonstrated in numerous studies and reports. Museum education plays a wide cultural and social role, aimed not only at stimulating the acquisition of specific content related to a museum and its collections, but at promoting the cultural sensitivity of museum users and of entire communities. Museums support and encourage the construction of inclusive narratives and memories, active and democratic co-participation in cultural activities, and a participatory life-long learning perspective. Museum contexts can also provide new opportunities for professional training experiences for the development of both hard and soft skills, such as information literacy, critical thinking, empathy, creativity, and digital skills.

In this talk, I will discuss effective uses of museum experiences for professional development and upskilling in various job categories, realized within different museum contexts and with different categories of professionals, and I will reflect on the educational co-design activities and other educational methodologies that were used in these experiences. Throughout the talk, I will discuss the current state of the art in museum education for professional development as well as some key challenges and opportunities for hard- and soft-skill development through heritage, especially from the perspective of promoting the cultural assets of communities.

Using WhatsApp to Enhance Student Engagement and Learning: A Case Study

Ruth Wario, Ph.D., University of the Free State, Free State Province, South Africa

In recent years, WhatsApp application is seen as one of the most popular and widely adopted social media networks among young people especially university students. WhatsApp application connects people and allows easy sharing of images, files, texts, videos, documents, and audios to individuals or groups of people. It is a tool that can facilitate interaction, collaboration, teamwork, and engagement. Thus, if used effectively, it is an important tool that supports teaching and learning. This study investigated the effectiveness of WhatsApp application use and its impact on teaching and learning. Specifically, the study evaluated the level of exchange of scholarly information resources among students through WhatsApp application, determined how WhatsApp supported teaching and learning and assessed challenges influencing students when using WhatsApp application in teaching and learning.

Specifically, the study evaluated the level of exchange of scholarly information resources among students through WhatsApp application, determined how WhatsApp supported teaching and learning and assessed challenges influencing students when using WhatsApp application in teaching and learning. The study involved 70 undergraduate students at the Department of Computer Science and Informatics of the University of the Free State. The researcher created a WhatsApp group for the students and used it to support the face-to-face learning environment. Mixed approach methodology was employed, and results were analyzed using SPSS. The results revealed WhatsApp had the power to enhance student engagement, collaboration, and interactions. WhatsApp application offered students space for communicating, expressing ideas, and sharing information with ease. However, network connectivity issues, power interruptions because of load shedding, inadequate mobile phone storage space for downloading learning content and lack of students’ commitment for effective participation were identified as the greatest challenges of effective WhatsApp use for learning purposes. The study concluded that if effectively used, WhatsApp application can improve student collaboration and engagement, consequently increasing academic performance.

Practice Pedagogy in the Professional Development of Journalists: Digital News Academy Model, A Case Study

Sonja Heydeman, Melbourne Business School, Victoria, Australia

Practice pedagogy (Leake and McDougall, 2020) underpins a new model changing the way newsrooms address skill development for journalists. Journalists historically go to university or undertake cadetships and build their careers through newsroom experience with sporadic training opportunities. Given challenges that come with the rapid pace of digital transformation, solutions for targeted, immersive and career-long learning were needed. The Digital News Academy, launched in early 2022 through a partnership between News Corp Australia and Google and developed and delivered by Melbourne Business School, is changing the way journalists develop skills necessary for modern newsrooms. The challenge involved developing curriculum that could be simultaneously engaging and meaningful to journalists working in all aspects of news from national to small rural outlets, cadets to senior editors, CALD journalists and specialist reporters. Embracing practice pedagogy, learning approaches were integrated to foster the immediate and targeted application of practical skills, such as mobile journalism, vertical storytelling, verification and data journalism, making content and activities universally relevant.

The Digital News Academy, launched in early 2022 through a partnership between News Corp Australia and Google and developed and delivered by Melbourne Business School, is changing the way journalists develop skills necessary for modern newsrooms.

The challenge involved developing curriculum that could be simultaneously engaging and meaningful to journalists working in all aspects of news from national to small rural outlets, cadets to senior editors, CALD journalists and specialist reporters.

Embracing practice pedagogy, learning approaches were integrated to foster the immediate and targeted application of practical skills, such as mobile journalism, vertical storytelling, verification and data journalism, making content and activities universally relevant.

A pedagogy that allows praxis to be core to learning strives for real-world, lived and evolving experiences. The Academy facilitates learning that relates to daily practice, embedding competencies with new skills and tools and generating powerful discourse and collaboration.

Learners are actively involved in their learning, making decisions about how curriculum can be relevant, useful and applied in their workplace, while peer interaction can extend understanding and collaboration across industry.

The Academy’s focus on co-created practice allows learners to grow in confidence while experimenting with new skills and educators can build a program responsive to learner input and industry need.

The Academy model is an award-winning world-first that centres on a new kind of journalism education and a network for professional practice.

Live sessions, drop-ins, discussion boards, authentic assessment and in-person experience, practice pedagogy enables engagement, support and empowerment for learners.

What’s Behind the Learning Management System: Algorithmic Design in Online Learning

Simone C. O. Conceicao, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Shorewood, Wisconsin, USA and Lillian H. Hill, Ph.D., University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA

Online learning requires intentional design of learner experiences. As we use Learning Management Systems (LMS) to design instruction, there is a need for awareness of what operates behind the LMS platform. Algorithms, coded within the LMS, are used to create personalized experiences, answer common questions, and provide immediate feedback. Algorithms built into LMSs can assess learners’ current knowledge level and deliver tailored instruction to facilitate students’ mastery of material.

Online learning requires intentional design of learner experiences. As we use Learning Management Systems (LMS) to design instruction, there is a need for awareness of what operates behind the LMS platform. Algorithms, coded within the LMS, are used to create personalized experiences, answer common questions, and provide immediate feedback. Algorithms built into LMSs can assess learners’ current knowledge level and deliver tailored instruction to facilitate students’ mastery of material. It can show students what they have accomplished and what they still need to complete. Advanced analytics allows instructors to better understand students’ learning needs and adapt their instruction to meet them. Chatbots can answer common questions quickly which reduces frustrating delay. They can also augment students’ feelings of accomplishment. Despite the benefits of algorithms, there are some concerns. Algorithms used for decision making may seem impartial. Instead, depending on the information used to train artificial intelligence and machine learning, many algorithms take human bias and magnify discrimination. This session will consider the power of algorithms and ways to incorporate algorithmic design in online learning. We will share practical implications for designers and educators so that they maintain control over what’s behind the LMS wall to ensure that they make decisions related to students’ ability to progress in their learning more effectively. This control allows designers and educators to protect individuals’ privacy, promote inclusivity, and foster diverse learning opportunities.

Moving Beyond the Quiz Score: A New Approach to Measuring the Business Impact of eLearning Modules

Josh Humphries, Guroo Learning, Surry Hills, Australia

Learning outcomes for interactive eLearning modules that are deployed in the workplace, and in education, are typically measured using only surface level metrics such as quiz scores and completions. This presentation explores a practical approach to measuring the business impact of elearning modules, including the collection of multi-dimensional indicators mapped to performance objectives, the analysis of common misconceptions and confidence ratings aligned to key workplace behaviours. The paper then explores a real-world case study of the application of this approach in a channel education program and how these new impact measures not only changed the way the organisation measured learning impact, but how this data fundamentally changed the way the learning design team worked together to deliver value to the learner and business.

Improving Sonographer-Patient Communication in a Diverse and Multicultural Environment through Role-Plays with Digital Humans (Virtual Talk)

Fernando Salvetti, Ph.D., Logosnet LLC, Houston, Texas, USA, Linda Zanin, Ed.D., George Washington University, Washington, DC, USA, and Barbara Bertagni, Ph.D., Logosnet LLC, Houston, Texas, USA

Good communication skills are essential for sonographers to build trust, to explain examination procedures to the patient in non technical-terms, to alleviate anxiety and gain patient consent and collaboration, to provide information at a pace suitable for the patient. In order to communicate effectively, the sonographer needs to be able to communicate empathetically, adjusting their communication style to meet the needs of different audiences. This is particularly challenging in case of work with a diverse and multicultural group of patients where the risk of misinterpretation is higher. At Montgomery College in Takoma Park, MD, we developed a training program that aims at boosting the sonographer's communication skills. Students are provided with the opportunity to practice dialogues with virtual patients that are able to interact as real human beings, communicating concerns, emotions and moods both at a verbal and non-verbal level. We are using a solution known as e-REAL to deliver immersive glasses-free experiences, both on line and into a "phygital" classroom setting, that allow students to deal with different situations and different patients…

Each student is trained about how to communicate in a realistic scenario, with patients that have different ages, gender, culture, ethnicity. At the end of each interview, timely feedback is provided highlighting the communication style, the quality of the listening and possible hidden bias in conversations. Coaching through digital humans accelerates learning from experience without the risks associated with learning in the field. Early findings show that the program enhanced communication skills and self-awareness regarding their own relational styles depending on the diversity of their patients. Students showed a strong involvement in the training, appreciating the possibility to practice at their own pace, and the opportunity to deal with very different people learning how to adapt their communication style.

Developing Conversational Fluency at Scale with AI-Driven Interactive Role-Play

John Hack, Interflexion, Hillsborough, New Jersey, USA

Interpersonal skills are essential for success in the workplace, but they can be difficult to develop. Moreover, conversational fluency requires practice across a variety of workplace situations. Unfortunately, didactic classroom or e-learning tutorials don’t readily transfer to on-the-job performance, and personal role-play coaches are unaffordable for most aspiring professionals.

Interpersonal skills are essential for success in the workplace, but they can be difficult to develop. Moreover, conversational fluency requires practice across a variety of workplace situations. Unfortunately, didactic classroom or e-learning tutorials don’t readily transfer to on-the-job performance, and personal role-play coaches are unaffordable for most aspiring professionals.

The session will describe the use of scalable workplace simulations in which learners develop their interpersonal skills with the aid of a conversational AI. There are no multiple-choice tests – learners speak in their natural voice while engaged in role-play.

Entirely AI-driven, the app analyses the semantic content of the conversation and offers immediate personalized feedback: did the learner take the right perspective, convey the right ideas, or ask the right questions? The app provides specific, actionable feedback as the learner works their way through realistic workplace conversations.

A short demonstration will highlight key aspects of the learner experience. Early results from using this technology will be shared:

• Methods for quantifying conversational skill acquisition.

• Preliminary data on skill acquisition by learners using the app.

• Implications for further research and development.

As conversational AI enters the mainstream, learning and development professionals can be leaders in using this technology to help professionals become more effective in the workplace.

Mentoring First Generation Students After COVID: The Prior Learning Connection (Canceled)

Kent Seaver, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, Texas, USA

The program will focus on Prior Learning exams: its successes, how it electronically engages first generation students, as well as how it saves time and money. In addition, its link to mentoring on campus will be analyzed: the academic and social need, as well as how to establish success metrics. At the University of Texas at Dallas Jindal School of Management, early and continued mentoring on campus, with meaningful interaction and measurable metrics, allows for a better understanding of the higher education landscape, and can allow a continual chain of energetic first generation scholars to educate incoming students about Prior Learning and how it can aid in continued student success. Academic and business professionals from advising, testing, and career/student services will be able to experience how Prior Learning and mentoring work together to build a cohesive and successful collegiate experience for the first-generation student. By examining empirical examples at the two- and four-year level, the audience will understand how this combination is fostered in a computerized educational setting.

The emerging scholarship regarding CPL and Mentoring can be found in the published works of Stephanie Barton, Diana Conrad and others. Mentoring and Prior Learning have enjoyed a successful partnership in higher education, and will continue to do some with sound application and dedicated partners, such as academic advising and admissions., Student Affairs is at the center of student success, and creating successful practices that can be replicated is what my presentation is all about. My school, along with the University of Arizona, Athabasca University in Canada, and others, have successfully taken theory and transformed it into sound, student success-oriented practice. This is what Inclusion and Innovation is all about: using existing methods in a new and unique manner to create opportunities not normally considered.

The Potential of Tele-Diagnosis and Virtual Treatment for the Future of Lifelong Learning

Jordan Wright, Ph.D., Parallel Learning, New York, New York, USA

Too many individuals (in particular, children and nontraditional learners) do not have ready and easy access to the psychological, psychoeducational, and neuropsychological treatment they need to address their specific needs and succeed in and out of the classroom. The last few years have proven the necessity and possibility of virtual behavioral health care. As assessment is not the only step in the process to support those with neurological differences, it is the first in what should be a long, careful process to treat and address a patient’s needs.

The last few years have proven the necessity and possibility of virtual behavioral health care. As assessment is not the only step in the process to support those with neurological differences, it is the first in what should be a long, careful process to treat and address a patient's needs.

Tele-assessment is essential to create access for underserved students, adults, schools and families to receive answers to their situation. We must not stop at assessments, and the way to make treatment widely accessible is to make it virtual, multimodal and collaborative. When related to learning differences specifically, tele-assessments must be accompanied by diagnoses and a comprehensive treatment plan to provide students with actionable next steps and a clear path towards treatment to ensure no time is lost during crucial learning years.

Dr. Jordan will discuss the future of a fully holistic, end-to-end health care model for those with learning differences, and how it will not only impact those in the classroom, but also those emerging into adulthood and the workforce.

Redesigning Education Using Serious Games

Jenny Polyxeni Pange, Ph.D., University of Ioannina Greece, Epirus, Greece, Liudmila Rupsiene, Ph.D., Klaipeda University, Klaipeda, Lithuania, and Agostino Maregno, Ph.D., University of Foggia, Foggia, Italy

Technology is included in most educational designs. Gamification in education is experiencing a new era of application. We apply serious games either for learning or to redesign the teaching process. It is well documented that students attending online courses have greater engagement in the learning process when they use games during the learning process. So, in online courses, addressed to university students, many web applications use online games nowadays. Additionally, in online courses, self-regulated learning is considered an essential constraint for learning by many researchers. Apart from that, another issue that is worth considering in online learning, is the correlation of self-regulated learning with the ability of self-assessment using gamification.

Apart from that, another issue that is worth considering in online learning, is the correlation of self-regulated learning with the ability of self-assessment using gamification.

Since the introduction of online learning in the universities during and soon after covid19 pandemic, the Lab of New Technologies and Distance learning of the University of Ioannina in cooperation with other higher educational Institutes, created MOOCs to support online courses concerning the Applications ICTs in education and entrepreneurship. In this study, a self-selected group of students participated in online learning activities for the subject ‘Applications of ICT”. Students were highly motivated to the course and they completed the course assignments in due time. All students reported that they had self-regulation ability, and they improved their learning experience using online games for self-assessment. To test their self-assessment ability, we applied the ‘classcraft’ online game (https://www.classcraft.com/). This game creates learning pathways and supports personalized learning.

Additionally, it enhances online learning, and it offers in an innovative way the self-assessment process. The game ‘classcraft’ includes technical skills, appropriate for online learning commitment and redesigns the educational process. This study is in progress and according to date findings, students who played this game during the course became more motivated, committed, and enthusiastic learners. Additionally, their self-regulation commitment to online learning was improved.

The Magic of Games: Creating a Pull-Based Learning System through Serious Games

Ritika Datta, Ajay Dasgupta, and Bob Philips, Flogames (A division of Transcendix Partners LLP), Karnataka, India

Learning practitioners spend significant time and effort incentivizing or pushing employees to engage with online learning content. In this paper, the authors explore the feasibility of using serious games to create a pull-based learning system rather than a push-based one, by analyzing first-hand data from roughly 10,000 corporate learners. 

The Magic of Games: Creating a Pull-Based Learning System through Serious Games

Learning practitioners spend significant time and effort incentivizing or pushing employees to engage with online learning content. In this paper, the authors explore the feasibility of using serious games to create a pull-based learning system rather than a push-based one, by analyzing first-hand data from roughly 10000 corporate learners.

Evidence of serious games pulling employees to play was observed through some unique learner behavior:

a. Game binging: About 8% of learners played around 10 games in just one week – some even in just one sitting. There is also evidence of some learners playing up to 68 games in a single week. This behavior was observed in the absence of an external/organizational mandate for how many games one was required to play

b. Plays and replays: On an average, a learner played each game about 3 times to improve their scores and gain mastery. Learners appear to have done so on their own volition, as there was no minimum score or pass criteria enforced

c. Game buying behavior: Internal marketplaces were set up to allow learners to choose and purchase the learning games that they wanted. It was observed that a significant number of games were purchased late at night, on weekends, and during public holidays, challenging the assumption that employees do not want to spend their personal time learning workplace skills

The data shows that traditional learning metrics also thrived under this pull-based approach, with learning gains of about 21% and completion rates of roughly 90%.

The implications of this are relevant for learning game designers and practitioners alike. By moving learners to the center of the learning agenda, the overall learning experience is likely to become more engaging and fruitful for everyone involved.

Certainty-based Self-Assessment: A Chance for Enhanced Learning Engagement in Higher Education

Ana Remesal, Ph.D., Maria José Corral, Ph.D., Judit Dominguez, Ph.D., Patricio García-Minguez, Ph.D., Tomas Macsotay, Ph.D., Iria SanMiguel, and Ernesto Suárez, Universidad de Barcelona, Cataluña, Spain

Six different disciplinary areas in Higher Education participate in this exploratory study: Primary Teacher Education, Secondary Teacher Education, Physio-psychology, Microeconomics, Art History and Law. In all these areas the instructors implement one same instructional program with a double goal: (1) enhancing students’ learning engagement through certainty-based self-assessment and (2) researching the metacognitive and affective (motivational and emotional) implications of such instructional program in students’ learning behavior. Over 1000 students take part in the project responding three progressive (discipline-related) multiple-choice online learning tests with a knowledge-certainty component at three different moments during one semester…

In all these areas the instructors implement one same instructional program with a double goal: (1) enhancing students’ learning engagement through certainty-based self-assessment and (2) researching the metacognitive and affective (motivational and emotional) implications of such instructional program in students’ learning behavior. Over 1000 students take part in the project responding three progressive (discipline-related) multiple-choice online learning tests with a knowledge-certainty component at three different moments during one semester. This knowledge-certainty component (also known as ‘certainty-based marking’) consists of a declaration of the subjective level of certainty/doubt about the correctness of one’s answer to each single question item. This certainty declaration activates deep metacognitive and emotional processes. A special algorithm inserted in the virtual campus adjusts resulting grades to the connection of each of three levels of declared certainty (low-middle-high) and the correctness of response (error-hit). This algorithm breaks down the habitual grading scale (1 to 10 points), thus, both students and instructors need to readapt to the new scale ranging between [-6*items] and [+3*items]. The testing system was implemented in these courses only with a diagnostic and formative purpose. After each testing point, students received different kinds of feedback, both quantitative and qualitative. At the end of the semester, students responded a fourth test, retaking the same set of previously responded questions, as a final but still formative self-assessment, prior to the final exam. Preliminary results are presented concerning the progressive changes in proportion of hits (hence, advancing knowledge) and students’ certainty-declaration in the six disciplinary areas; differences and similarities between areas are exposed. As a matter of fact, the main result points to similarities outweighing differences.

Remote Laboratories for Engineering Education

Fariba Moghaddam, Ph.D. and Aldo Vaccari, University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland, Valais, Switzerland

In engineering education, laboratories represent an important academic resource as they provide practical training in addition to the fundamental theories. However, advanced tools, costly equipment and machinery imply a large investment that only a limited number of institutions can afford. The rapid Internet development and the advent of IoT (Internet of Things) have provided new possibilities and challenges for designing and deploying remote collaborative learning systems. Web-based online experimentation turns to be a key feature in deploying digital solutions in engineering education. This work proposes a collaborative digital platform to perform remote activities such as real-time programing, data visualization, algorithm implementation and monitoring of the remote machinery and equipment.

An open architecture encompassing the embedded hardware, the intermediate data broker and the Front-End remote access allows new possibilities for applied research and education. Thereby, the remote students and researchers may have access to monitor and control the real research equipment and laboratories, not locally available.

The idea to expand and improve education and research in engineering fields by providing remote access to infrastructure, equipment, resources and data leads to substantial benefits for science and economy. A remote digital platform offers the students and researchers to share their experience, expertise and resources as well as to connect and to collaborate more efficiently, a key characteristic of science literacy. As for economic impact, one can mention reducing costs of laboratories and research equipment in higher education by sharing the available infrastructure, resources and equipment for use in engineering fields.

Vilmos Vass, Ph.D., Budapest Metropolitan University, Budapest, Hungary

Under the umbrella of VUCA-world and growing international competition, the human factors are playing more important role in higher education. (Blessinger, 2015; Cheng, Wang and Liu, 2014; De Witt, Gacel-Ávila, Jones, & Jooste, 2017; Maringe & Foskett, 2010) Innovative teaching methods and formative assessment are significant transformational part of this process. (Smith, Vass, 2017) No doubt, teaching and learning methodology and assessment has strong coherency. (Marzano, 2007) This presentation focuses on the relationship between innovative teaching methods and formative assessment. In the first part of the presentation, the philosophical phenomena of this process comes from John Dewey ’learning by doing’ principle. (Dewey, 1938) Thus, innovation teaching methods have strong impact of different types of interactions and broader meaning of learning, especially problem-, project- and inquiry-based learning. (Hattie, 2008)…

(Wiliam, & Thompson, 2007; Wilam, 2011) Obviously, there are strong coherence between innovative teaching methods and formative assessment. In the second part of the presentation, the case study from Budapest Metropolitan University gives evidences to this required relationship giving best practises on innovation and formative assessment. Finally, at the end of the presentation, opened conclusion has dilemmas and questions.

Adults in University Studies: Betting on Human Capital to Rethink the Academic Curriculum

Anas Zaytouni, University College of Francisco Ferrer, Kabir Raehda, University Collège of Francisco Ferrer, Brabant Wallon, Belgium and Hecham Maimouni, HEFF, Brabant Wallon, Belgium

Since the global crisis of Covid-19, educational and academic institutions have not ceased to reinvent themselves and optimize their practices in order to respond to the societal challenges inherent to the crisis. One of the most important issues is that of the reconversion of the human capital of adult workers towards other professional sectors than those impacted by the socio-economic crisis. In this sense, reinvesting one's learning and skills in a constantly changing world is a keystone of the social emancipation of learners and workers. The "world of work" is constantly changing and educational policies must be a sustainable solution to these paradigm shifts. It is not a question of selling out academic or school training, but rather of maximizing winning practices. In this regard, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation (Belgium) is preparing to undergo another major change in the education system through the reform of initial teacher training. This reform will aim to profoundly transform the teacher training system by placing higher education and university training side by side.

Since the global crisis of Covid-19, educational and academic institutions have not ceased to reinvent themselves and optimize their practices in order to respond to the societal challenges inherent to the crisis. One of the most important issues is that of the reconversion of the human capital of adult workers towards other professional sectors than those impacted by the socio-economic crisis. In this sense, reinvesting one's learning and skills in a constantly changing world is a keystone of the social emancipation of learners and workers. The "world of work" is constantly changing and educational policies must be a sustainable solution to these paradigm shifts. It is not a question of selling out academic or school training, but rather of maximizing winning practices. In this regard, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation (Belgium) is preparing to undergo another major change in the education system through the reform of initial teacher training. This reform will aim to profoundly transform the teacher training system by placing higher education and university training side by side.

In this regard, academic institutions allow student candidates to apply for course exemptions based on their previous professional experience. This is what the legislator calls "the valorization of acquired knowledge and experience". The purpose of this protocol is to optimize and rethink the relationship with training. To accompany and reinforce this reform of initial teacher training, we wanted to put forward an institutional analysis that could optimize the knowledge economy through access to human capital and be used more extensively in training. Our research has therefore attempted to describe and analyze the way in which adult students can grasp the challenge of teacher training and teacher identity through a process of valuing prior learning and experience.

We wanted to highlight the pragmatic and useful meaning of this training tool that allows them to build an identity in line with the legal requirements; these analyzed paths allow us to question the "real" implementation of initial teacher training in daily professional practices. This is why, unlike more "classic" research, we did not define a pre-established theoretical framework or a priori hypotheses, relying mainly on the analysis methodology known as Grounded Theory (Kaufmann, 2008). We have therefore limited ourselves to identifying, isolating and reconstructing meaning by analyzing the recurring convergences/divergences in the discourses of adult students who are resuming their studies via a protocol of valuing prior learning and experience on the basis of an exemption file.

Our session will therefore be based on a factual description of the events that took place last year (2021-2022) in a global vision of the phenomenon of training students in BAC 3 mathematics and sciences (a profession in short supply in French-speaking Belgium, Cattonar, 2012); as well as on an attempt to model the reasons that lead adult students to grasp, or not, the stakes, advantages and risks of the protocols for the valorization of prior learning and experience as well as the application of public educational policies. Finally, we will have the opportunity to take a position on the usefulness of human capital investment in initial teacher training in the Walloon-Brussels Federation. We will also take a position on the educational policies related to the questions of formal and informal competences among adults returning to school.

RUN-EU delivers this mission by identifying the future and advanced skills required by regional stakeholders to successfully meet the challenges of the future, engage in societal transformation, and promote active citizenship, thereby creating a new type of multinational interregional alliance.

RUN-EU involves seven partner institutions from different countries Portugal, Ireland, Netherlands, Hungary, Finland and Austria.

RUN-EU aims to carry out training programs that promote future and advanced skills for social transformation in the regions of the European Union. The partner Higher Education Institutions, have been jointly developing a diverse range of teaching and learning actions, namely offering students different international short-term programmes.

IPCA, our home institution, have been responsible for coordinating the design of the Short Advanced Programmes (SAPs), short and small individual learning units based on transnational curricula focusing on the future advanced skills needs, enabling the promotion of flexible learning pathways, short-term international mobility, innovative pedagogies and blended learning.

So far, within the alliance we promoted a significant number of SAPs in different cutting-edge topics, transversal skills, challenge programs, among other current relevant trends. At this conference we intend to present the state of the art of the SAPS and the future developments for them in RUN-EU.

Improving Physical Activity in Type-1 Diabetes: A Gamified Approach

Michelle Torres-Linke and Magomed Abdulaev, GLAICE, Bavaria, Germany

Regular exercising can significantly improve the overall health but could also be life-threatening if not done correctly. This seemingly paradoxical statement affects around 55 million people with type-1 diabetes every day. The chronic disease disrupts the body's own insulin production, resulting in an absolute insulin deficiency. Affected individuals are consequently forced to administer insulin externally, as it plays a key role in regulating carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism by promoting the transfer of glucose from the blood into liver, fat and skeletal muscle cells. However, administering the right amount of insulin to maintain healthy blood glucose levels depends on various factors, making exercising in particular a very complex and dangerous task since it also affects blood glucose levels…

Regular exercising can significantly improve the overall health but could also be life-threatening if not done correctly. This seemingly paradoxical statement affects around 55 million people with type-1 diabetes every day.

The chronic disease disrupts the body's own insulin production, resulting in an absolute insulin deficiency. Affected individuals are consequently forced to administer insulin externally, as it plays a key role in regulating carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism by promoting the transfer of glucose from the blood into liver, fat and skeletal muscle cells. However, administering the right amount of insulin to maintain healthy blood glucose levels depends on various factors, making exercising in particular a very complex and dangerous task since it also affects blood glucose levels. While regular physical activity prevents secondary diseases and improves the quality of life, it is also the main reason for extremely high or low blood glucose levels, which pose significant short- and long-term health risks.

The digital health solution of GLAICE aims at empowering people with type-1 diabetes to exercise easily and safely without risking their health by offering a holistic digital learning approach.

The solution consists of a digital education program as well as a data-based recommendation engine to ensure safe blood sugar levels before, during, and after exercise. The educational program combines evidence-based research with aspects of gamification to provide an interactive and motivating learning experience focused on exercise in type-1 diabetes. The recommendation engine considers the user's personal health profile, real-time health sensor data, and the effects of different types of exercise on blood glucose to formulate action advice that helps users keep their blood glucose within a healthy range before, during, and after exercise.

Narrating the Museum: Enhancing Cultural Heritage through User Profiling and Individualized Content

Eliana Maria Torre, Sapienza University (Rome), Messina, Italy

Museums contribute to creating collective memory and identity, provided that their communication strategies reach all social groups. Good stories mediate the most disparate and complex content, bringing it closer to the "feeling" of nonspecialists and staying in people's emotional and cognitive memory. This research aims to promote mental well-being, social inclusion and active citizenship by stimulating participants' 4 Cs and digital skills through individualized paths that prompt an effective dialogue between users and museums.

Museums contribute to creating collective memory and identity, provided that their communication strategies reach all social groups. Good stories mediate the most disparate and complex content, bringing it closer to the "feeling" of nonspecialists and staying in people's emotional and cognitive memory.

This research aims to promote mental well-being, social inclusion and active citizenship by stimulating participants' 4 Cs and digital skills through individualized paths that prompt an effective dialogue between users and museums.

The study is developed at the National Roman Museum (Rome) through three research questions. What digital narrative forms promote the social inclusion of various museum audiences? How to design educational paths that promote social inclusion and active citizenship by stimulating the 4 Cs and digital skills? How do narratives in museums facilitate the participation of different categories of users, especially those at risk of marginalization?

The study is based on empirical research. The workshops are conducted through inclusive methodologies such as Object-based Learning, Visual Thinking Strategy, and Digital Storytelling. Evaluation measures the levels of the 4 Cs and digital skills, mental well-being and perceived social inclusion through skills assessment grids, the UCL Museum Wellbeing Measures Toolkit, and focus groups. User profiling, carried out through eye-tracking applied to Digital Storytelling products and questionnaires, identifies the characteristics of groups of users to offer individualized pathways.

The main expected outcomes of the research are: 1) activities to promote the 4 Cs and digital skills, mental well-being and social inclusion for a wide range of museum targets, that can be adopted by any museum professional; 2) Digital Storytelling pathways delivered on the MNR's institutional channels as a means of including the whole community and those who for various reasons cannot physically visit museum venues; 3) new models of culturally accessible texts applicable in different types of museums.

Massive Open Online Courses at Ukrainian Agrarian Universities: To Be or Not to Be

Bohdan Shunevych, Ph.D., Lviv National Environmental University, Dublyany, Lviv region, Ukraine

Many Ukrainian universities successfully use MOOCs, YouTube channels, their own distance courses and other electronic materials together with the printed textbooks, dictionaries etc. in educational process.
Before the Covid 2019 epidemic, a new version of Moodle was installed at Lviv National Environmental University (LNEU) server and newer versions of distance courses (DC) were compiled for students of different specialties at LNEU five Faculties.
Because of the coronavirus epidemic as well as the Russian-Ukrainian war, the rate of compiling the distance courses at the University became slower. That is why the teaching staff of LNEU decided to use online courses from Ukrainian (Prometheus, LingvaSkills) and foreign (Coursera) platforms as additional educational materials for distance courses, textbooks, lecture courses, etc.

Our university students also analyzed different MOOC platforms and tried to search for the courses and other electronic educational materials for their specialties in the form of research work.

In this session, we will report the results of this analysis. The purposes of this report are as follows: to describe the prospects of further search for educational material from MOOC platforms, other electronic resources for the second-year students and the materials analysis; to organize students’ research work, participation at the scientific conferences for exchanging their experience in usage of the reviewed materials.

The results of the students’ research can be used by the teaching staff for planning and improving the educational process at our and other agrarian universities in the near future.

A Participatory Museum for Intercultural Development: Innovative Fruition of South-Asian Art Collections in Italy

Luca Contardi, Sapienza Università di Roma, Bologna, Italy

Museums are becoming aware of their role as facilitators of social inclusion processes. Recently the paradigm of the participatory museum has been spreading; it envisages the involvement of source communities as co-protagonists in the production of value: they thus become agents of intercultural dialogue.

A Participatory Museum for Intercultural Development: Innovative Fruition of South-Asian Art Collections in Italy

Luca Contardi


Museums are becoming aware of their role as facilitators of social inclusion processes. Recently the paradigm of the participatory museum has been spreading; it envisages the involvement of source communities as co-protagonists in the production of value: they thus become agents of intercultural dialogue.

New technologies offer tools both for user profiling, to improve visitor experiences and educational activities (AI; big data; eye-tracking), and for practices of re-appropriation of the narrative (digitisation and digital storytelling). Nevertheless, it is necessary to investigate to what extent innovative ways of heritage fruition and education centred on practices of co-design within the museum context, characterised by strong use of new technologies, can implement social inclusion and well-being of marginalised communities and the development of digital skills (and, therefore, critical thinking) fruitful to developing active citizenship according to the lifelong learning paradigm. In my research, combining use of the aforementioned technologies and tools, I propose to investigate their impact.

Collections of South-Asian art are the perfect medium for this purpose: they are symbolically and typologically vast, allowing the involvement of communities homogeneous in terms of origin, but culturally diverse. Moreover, despite a stabilisation process on Italian territory and despite their large number, migrant communities from South Asia still experience a lack of integration and participation in cultural and public life.

For well-being assessment, the Museum Wellbeing Measurement Toolkit developed by UCL can be administered at different stages to verify the impact of the activities carried out. In addition to this, a suitable Inclusive Processes Evaluation Scale can be administered to the working group to verify social inclusion. As for digital competence, Instant Digital Competence Assessment tests can be used, before and after the performance of the activities, to check their progress. Findings will verify the efficacy of the various tools and the co-design process.

A Serious Game for Teaching Complex Problem Solving Skills to Engineering Students

Igor Miladinovic, Ph.D. and Sigrid Schefer-Wenzl, Ph.D., University of Applied Sciences Campus Vienna, Vienna, Austria

Serious games are games designed to create a learning effect. Learning with a game-based learning environment can create a more motivating learning experience and a more reflective understanding of a particular topic. Many educational institutions have recognized the potential of game-based learning and are using it in their courses. The market share of serious games has been increasing and is expected to continue to increase due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many educational institutions have recognized the potential of game-based learning and are using it in their courses. The market share of serious games has been increasing and is expected to continue to increase due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Computer science graduates are required to master and solve complex issues in their professional lives. Along with critical thinking, reading comprehension, active listening, and speaking, complex problem solving is one of the five most important 21st century skills in STEM disciplines. However, many engineering programs neglect to teach complex problem-solving skills, even though these types of skills are absolutely necessary in everyday careers.

In order to teach students complex problem solving skills, we have introduced a dedicated course in our master degree program "Software Design and Engineering". The content of the course is based on Goldratt's Theory of Constraints (ToC). To achieve a better understanding of the ToC, we apply a game-based learning approach by playing a dice game that simulates a production chain. In this talk, we present the design and development of this serious game as a digital mobile version and evaluate its impact on the learning outcomes. The game can be used in hybrid, on-site and distance learning settings. Survey results show that the serious game improves students' understanding of the Theory of Constraints principles. In addition, students found the digital version easier to understand in some cases than the analog dice game.

Corrective vs. Nurturing Feedback in Design Education: Alternative Models of Critique that Positively Impact Students’ Sense of Self-Efficacy

Zinka Bejtic, Ph.D., American University of Sharjah, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates

Students' attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs play an essential role in their ability to produce innovative, creative work. Self-efficacy, a construct of the cognitive theory, defines one's belief in their capacity to reach a specific goal and is a critical variable that predicts students' motivation and ability to perform a specific task successfully. This talk critically examines the quality of feedback in design education, arguing that it has a direct positive or negative impact on students' sense of self-efficacy. Solely corrective feedback given within a poorly established learning milieu that does not allow a relationship of trust to flourish negatively impacts students' thoughts and self-esteem. It is hypothesized that nurturing feedback has the potential to positively impact students' self-efficacy and increase their overall effort and perseverance…

Corrective vs. Nurturing Feedback in Design Education: Alternative Models of Critique that Positively Impact Students’ Sense of Self-Efficacy

Students' attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs play an essential role in their ability to produce innovative, creative work. Self-efficacy, a construct of the cognitive theory, defines one's belief in their capacity to reach a specific goal and is a critical variable that predicts students' motivation and ability to perform a specific task successfully.

This paper critically examines the quality of feedback in design education, arguing that it has a direct positive or negative impact on students' sense of self-efficacy. Solely corrective feedback given within a poorly established learning milieu that does not allow a relationship of trust to flourish negatively impacts students' thoughts and self-esteem. It is hypothesized that nurturing feedback has the potential to positively impact students' self-efficacy and increase their overall effort and perseverance.

This paper reveals the results of a case study conducted in a senior design studio course with 16 students of the Multimedia Design program and one instructor in the Department of Art and Design at the American University of Sharjah (UAE). The paper reports on problems created by a lack of appropriate feedback, such as students' focus on grades; feedback found to be ineffective or judgmental; lack of ability to build trust; lack of purpose, focus, and direction in feedback given; lack of encouragement; lack of ability to draw students' attention to their growth; lack of praise of the effort; lack of ability to create psychological safety or deliver unsupportive feedback or in a disrespectful tone.

It was established that nurturing feedback enhanced students' sense of self-efficacy. The paper proposes a set of strategies for transforming feedback into a tool for nurturing students' self-efficacy and offers suggestions for further research on this complex dynamic and ways to address the challenges in communication between the instructor and the students.

This paper presents the 50+10 concept for future skills, a pedagogical framework for the development of future skills across IPCA - Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave’s and RUN-EU - Regional University Network - European University’s educational offer. This framework was designed to address the challenge of integrating transversal competences with disciplinary expertise, in Higher Education courses. It offers an integrated approach that aims to respond to the needs of students, teachers, employers, hence society at large, incorporating student-centered teaching and learning strategies, pedagogical development, transferable competences and university-community-industry-society partnerships, capable of delivering social transformations.

This paper presents the 50+10 concept for future skills, a pedagogical framework for the development of future skills across IPCA - Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave’s and RUN-EU - Regional University Network - European University’s educational offer. This framework was designed to address the challenge of integrating transversal competences with disciplinary expertise, in Higher Education courses. It offers an integrated approach that aims to respond to the needs of students, teachers, employers, hence society at large, incorporating student-centered teaching and learning strategies, pedagogical development, transferable competences and university-community-industry-society partnerships, capable of delivering social transformations.

IPCA 50+10 concept for pedagogical innovation thus aims to promote student engagement, active and high-quality learning, as well as contribute to prevent dropout, improve engagement and success. This approach considers the following guidelines, which recognize both IPCA’s and RUN-EU networks’ needs, in what concerns the development of future skills:

• Future skills encompass the development of hard and soft skills to address real world challenges;

• Students are more likely to collaborate if they have confidence in their team/s work;

• Teachers are willing to learn new methodologies in a collaborative and safe environment;

• Time is a limited resource and extracurricular work is not sustainable;

• Heavy workloads and disconnected learning activities hinder deep approaches to learning.

The 50+10 concept tackles these guidelines by converting a given set of teaching-learning hours into active, challenge-based learning moments, dedicated to the development of transversal competences. 50+10 builds up on the idea that a curricular unit’s total of contact hours can be rearranged to dedicate a block of hours to integrated approaches to learning, addressing future skills. It thus implies 50 hours dedicated to hard skills or disciplinary knowledge and 10 hours are dedicated to transversal competences and challenge-based learning, in a design-based learning approach. 50+10 is divided into four main actions: 1) Kickoff & Teambuild day; 2) Disciplinary knowledge weeks; 3) Future skills days; 4) Sprint Weeks.

Currently, this work is being developed at IPCA's Future Advanced Skills Academy, created within RUN-EU. FASA’s role is to identify and promote innovative pedagogical models and practices but aid the design of challenging and flexible study programmes which enhance transdisciplinarity and mobility in higher education.

Infusing Financial Management and Entrepreneurial Mindset training for Student Engagement

Dr. Pat Herndon, Assistant Professor of Accounting, and Dee Gay, Chair of Cosmetology Department, Daytona State College, Daytona Beach, FL

Financial management skills are gained through experience and education, but an entrepreneurial mindset is something we all have. An entrepreneurial mindset can expose opportunities, ignite our ambition, and enable us to grow and thrive. Yet, our mindset can hinder our ability to learn and grow, causing us to miss opportunities, and it can keep us tethered to unproductive patterns of thought and action. Additionally, research shows a lack of financial management competencies is a core contributor to business failure. To cultivate the entrepreneurial mindset and gain financial knowledge, we must create entrepreneurial learning experiences within our classrooms, organizations, and communities. This presentation will show how we have infused entrepreneurial mindset and financial management training curriculum into classrooms across all disciplines to engage today’s student.

Cybersecurity Awareness, Education, and Workplace Training Using Socially-enabled Intelligent Chatbots

Sherif Abdelhamid, Ph.D., Tanner Mallari, and Mona Aly, Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Virginia, USA

Artificial intelligence research fields are expanding, including machine learning, neural networks, fuzzy systems, and many others. During the past decade, chatbot technology has emerged as a new area of artificial intelligence. Various sectors utilize chatbots, including banking, customer service, medicine, education, and e-commerce. However, cybersecurity education is still underrepresented when it comes to the use of intelligent agents.

Cybersecurity Awareness, Education, and Workplace Training Using Socially-enabled Intelligent Chatbots

Artificial intelligence research fields are expanding, including machine learning, neural networks, fuzzy systems, and many others. During the past decade, chatbot technology has emerged as a new area of artificial intelligence. Various sectors utilize chatbots, including banking, customer service, medicine, education, and e-commerce. However, cybersecurity education is still underrepresented when it comes to the use of intelligent agents.

Cyber attacks are on the rise every day. During the last decade, most research in cybersecurity has focused more and more on detecting malicious activities automatically. Unfortunately, very few research works focused on how the human factor can result in such attacks. Human-induced attacks and errors are found to be either unintentional or intentional. The first type, our focus, can result from the lack of training and cyber awareness. Attackers often use all sorts of lures to draw their victims into phishing emails, clicking suspicious links, handing over passwords, downloading sketchy attachments, and engaging in other unsafe behaviors. That may ultimately lead to personal blackmail or even large-scale ransomware attacks or data breaches on an entire organization or even the government.

Usually, to address the problem mentioned above, universities, employers, and organizations provide cyber awareness education. However, the problem is that the training is a one-time process and doesn't provide the necessary continuing support and education. People usually find themselves in a situation where they need specific advice before engaging in a particular activity. At other times, they might need someone to alert them to a suspicious email, fishy link, or abnormal attachment.

In response, in this session, we discuss a study the integration of chatbots with social networking for cybersecurity public awareness, education, and workplace training. We focus on utilizing chatbots as social collaborative agents to protect users against cyber attacks. The chatbots will provide continuous support to users by providing immediate answers and advice on what to do in various threatening situations. Admin users will add training material remotely into chatbots, and users can view and answer interactive questions to ensure they are up-to-date regarding cyber awareness. Additionally, these intelligent agents will be connected to other agents within the same organization to create a network of coordinated agents working together to serve the population at the organizational level.

The objectives can be summarized as follows: (1) exploring and understanding the research landscape related to using chatbots and artificial intelligence in cybersecurity education, and (2) designing and building a web-based multi-tier chatbot system for cyber awareness and training.

Developing Quality Micro-Credentials - Badges for Success in the 21st Century

Gali Milbauer Lefkowitz, Florida International University, Miami, Florida, USA

The Florida International University Office of Micro-Credentials Instructional Design team has constructed a workflow which ensures the high quality of every Micro-Credential developed and launched.

In the proposal stage, the ID Manager confirms alignment of assessments to the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). The SLO’s are reviewed to ensure they are measurable and specific and the assessments are rigorous and measure the learners’ achievement of the SLO. The rubrics are also reviewed to confirm they will accurately measure learners’ performance. The review process includes extensive feedback from the ID Manager, revision, and further review by OMC leadership until the excellent quality of the proposal is assured. The ID Consultants support and guide the Canvas LMS development to ensure transparency, accessibility, and alignment. A pre-created template is applied so the shell is pre-structured to meet all standards of quality. Additionally, we developed a robust resource portal to provide further guidance to units developing Micro-Credentials to enhance their knowledge of policies and processes.

Developing Quality Micro-Credentials - Badges for Success in the 21st Century

Gali Milbauer Lefkowitz


The Florida International University Office of Micro-Credentials Instructional Design team has constructed a workflow which ensures the high quality of every Micro-Credential developed and launched.

In the proposal stage, the ID Manager confirms alignment of assessments to the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). The SLO’s are reviewed to ensure they are measurable and specific and the assessments are rigorous and measure the learners’ achievement of the SLO. The rubrics are also reviewed to confirm they will accurately measure learners’ performance. The review process includes extensive feedback from the ID Manager, revision, and further review by OMC leadership until the excellent quality of the proposal is assured. The ID Consultants support and guide the Canvas LMS development to ensure transparency, accessibility, and alignment. A pre-created template is applied so the shell is pre-structured to meet all standards of quality. Additionally, we developed a robust resource portal to provide further guidance to units developing Micro-Credentials to enhance their knowledge of policies and processes.

Our review and quality assurance process is extensive and guarantees the high quality of all Micro-Credentials. Our quality assurance checklist is based closely on the Quality Matters rubric, and is utilized to evaluate each standard that is relevant to ensuring high quality. The initial review is completed by the instructor, then the ID Consultant completes the review which requires them to indicate that all required standards are met and provide evidence of where to verify this. The ID Manager and Program Manager review the Micro-Credential next, and the final review is completed by the Associate Director and Interim Vice President. Our intensive review process is designed to assure learners that all Micro-Credentials launched by FIU provide them with the highest level of knowledge and quality to prepare them for the 21st Century workforce.

Using Metacognitive Tools to Increase Equity in Online Learning

Sara-Beth Plummer, Ph.D and Alex Gatten, Ph.D., Rutgers University, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA

This presentation will describe how a large, state-run institution’s School of Social Work implemented metacognitive components in asynchronous online classrooms in order to promote self-regulation. Self-regulated learners are able to assess their own learning process, organize their educational enterprises, have academic goals, and monitor their progress in a personalized feedback loop (Schraw, Crippen, & Hartley, 2006; Zimmerman, 1990). Self-regulated learning is not a tool all students are taught in their formative years, and therefore must be shared and modeled by their current educators (Soicher & Gurung, 2017), particularly as it the best predictor of learning (Wang, Haertel, & Walberg, 1990).

The presenters have created formative low-stakes assessments focused on metacognition, such as descriptions of what they are working on toward upcoming major assignments, challenges they are facing, and how they are applying or would apply concepts to their practice. Through these metacognitive assessments, students of varied backgrounds are able to develop learning practices not in spite of prior education or background, but by making use of their experiences to further their own learning practices. Rather than assuming all students know how to learn (at any level or degree), the presenters focus on providing space for students to develop metacognitive habits about their practice as social workers. These practices, the presenters will argue, centers students’ own agency in their learning and additionally provides equitable access to learning.

The Imperative behind Creating Stronger, More Robust Credentialing Programs

Danny King, Accredible, Mountain View, California, USA

As students demand more fluidity and flexibility in how they pursue their degrees and certificate programs, higher ed institutions must adapt and implement new offerings that meet their learners’ changing needs. One way higher ed providers can become more valuable to prospective students is through the implementation of credentialing programs that cater to each student’s needs and career goals. Not only is an effective credentialing program mutually beneficial - helping create additional revenue streams for universities while providing more flexibility for students - digital credentialing, including micro-credentialing, also keeps higher ed institutions competitive against other universities and online programs with similar credentialing approaches. As learners continue to seek out education options that are valuable, helpful to their personal brands, and relevant to their desired field of work, it is mission-critical that higher ed providers implement these targeted, personalized credentialing programs that help students achieve these goals.

Institutional Effectiveness of Innovative Learning Experiences: How MOOCs Transform and Encourage Lifelong Learning

Ryan Hamilton, MBA, Swiss School of Business and Management, Canada

Online learning is changing rapidly, and so is the way we absorb information and encourage new delivery methods. The traditional synchronous and in-person methods no longer work for everyone, but corporations want to encourage lifelong learning. So, what are we doing about it? Studies have shown that MOOCs highly encourage continued engagement in learning experiences of audiences around the world through innovative technologies and this requires workplaces to be ready to deploy resources. In this session, we will uncover just how to measure the effectiveness of learning experiences in the workplace, and how to work with your teams to ensure you set them up for success. Lifelong learning has a variety of avenues to discover and the best methods to do so will be highlighted, with an action plan to follow. Both hybrid and online-only learning modalities will be discussed regarding immersing teams in the most innovative learning experiences possible, depending on the structure and nature of your organization.

Proposing a Hybrid Online Campus: A Community Engagement Framework for Social Capital in Online Learners

Roxana Toma, Ph.D., and Matthew Berge, SUNY Empire State College, Saratoga Springs, New York, USA

We are drawing on the work of Redmond et al (2018) and their proposal of an Online Engagement Framework for Higher Education to investigate new methods of online course design and instruction that can lead to increased student perceptions of social capital, confidence, and resilience in the online learning process. 

Proposing a Hybrid Online Campus: A Community Engagement Framework for Social Capital in Online Learners

Roxana Toma and Matthew Berge


We are drawing on the work of Redmond et al (2018) and their proposal of an Online Engagement Framework for Higher Education to investigate new methods of online course design and instruction that can lead to increased student perceptions of social capital, confidence, and resilience in the online learning process.

Our research builds on the four student engagement themes proposed by Redmond et al: the cognitive, behavioral, collaborative, and emotional capital. In our model, these will serve as constructs, or latent independent variables that influence student perceptions of social capital (another latent and our dependent variable). In addition, we are taking concepts from the community of inquiry framework, community of practice, epistemic engagement, transformative learning and identity construction, and emotional management theory to propose a new and improved Community Engagement Framework for online learners, one that can more closely identify the elements of online course design and instruction that lead to increased student perceptions of social capital. Following a meta-analysis of contemporary literature in the field of distance education, we suggest specific indicator variables for measurement of the latent independent variables in our model, as well as for our dependent variable – student perceptions of social capital.

Our work contributes to the literature of online learning by suggesting a conceptual model that can be tested with real world data to determine specific elements of online course design and instruction that lead to increased student perceptions of social capital, confidence, and resilience in the online learning process. This model is not only more complex from a theoretical standpoint than previous proposals, but is also analytically sound, in that it renders applicability by means of testing with real world data. While our research is theoretical at this stage, our intention for future research is to utilize this new model to survey online students to cross-validate our framework using path analysis and structural equation modeling. We also plan for future research that surveys online instructors to identify practice-based use of the engagement constructs we propose. Results from future research that uses this new analytical model can assist colleges, universities, and course instructors to design and deliver online courses that facilitate increased learner engagement and empower students to build social capital, confidence, and resilience throughout the learning process.
