<p>‘What digital leaders really say about their female and black colleagues and why’.<br />
<br />
This is an opportunity to give feedback on recommendations arising from a piece of research which will be published soon. Digital leaders in universities have been interviewed to gain an understanding of their attitudes towards equality, diversity and inclusion. In this session you will get insights into what they said and how this relates to you as learning technology professionals. The session will include discussion of personal and professional risk and the decisions we make to lead change in a nuanced and balanced way. It may also provide a starting point for you to do further research within your own organisation.</p>

In this webinar, we will describe how we supported over five hundred academic staff in the transition to online teaching delivery. The digital ability levels of our academic colleagues and our use of learning technologies is broad and varied, and this posed a number of challenges for how we provided a supportive environment that was both inclusive and suitably engaging. From the outset we agreed that any support we provided would need to be inclusive and effective.<br />
<br />
In this session, we will demonstrate how we managed to strike this balance. We will showcase the University of Kent’s Digitally Enhanced Education (DEE) course; a purpose-built and self-contained course designed to introduce colleagues to the principles of online teaching, the different tools and technologies at their disposal and the wider issues related to learning online. We will highlight how the course was designed to follow the ‘look and feel’ of a real online course, thereby demonstrating how carefully selected materials and a meaningful structure can positively impact the online learning experience.<br />
<br />
We will also discuss how the DEE course has provided a platform in which to launch the hugely popular Digitally Enhanced Education webinar series; a collection of webinars hosted by academic colleagues from both inside and outside of Kent where they have the opportunity to share practice and reflect.<br />
<br />
This session is ideal for those who are looking for practical ways of engaging their academic colleagues and sharing practice to enhance the online teaching experience.</p>

<p><strong>Presenter: Mari Cruz Garcia Vallejo</strong></p>
<p>This is an open session aimed at digital educators and professionals whose expertise and skills can be usually defined under the label of "learning technologist" (those who are actively involved in managing, researching, supporting or enabling learning with the use of learning technology). In this session we will look at the impact of Covid-19 and the "remote working" situation in the role and professional ranking of "learning technologist" as well as routes for progression and career development. In particular we will look at the following progression routes:<br />
<br />
1) HE institutions, UK-based, European and internationally.<br />
2) Private sector.<br />
3) Self-employment (contractor).<br />
<br />
The session will cover pros and cons for each of the routes, including what it means to change jobs while "remote working" as well as the challenges and opportunities that those professionals thinking of moving jobs/institutions need to consider in the current work situation.</p>
<p><em>Mari Cruz is a senior fellow at Advance HE and a digital education expert. Working for Telefónica Móviles International, she was the founder of the Interconnection Department at the start-up company Group 3G-Quam (Germany). In the United Kingdom, she has worked in three top-ranked universities and was part of the initial team that started the Kuwait Scotland eHealth Innovation Network (KSeHIN), an educational partnership between the Dundee Medical School and the Dasman Diabetes Institute. She currently works at Heriot-Watt University (Scotland).</em></p>
<p>The conference will put the spotlight on both the value and limitations of Open Education in a (post)pandemic world. The main conference themes are:</p>
<ul>
<li><b><strong>Theme 1</strong></b>: Openness, care, and joy in the times of pandemic;</li>
<li><b><strong>Theme 2</strong></b>: Open Education responses to surveillance technologies and data ownership in education;</li>
<li><b><strong>Theme 3</strong></b>: Open in Action: open teaching, educational practices and resources, how you might be using Domains and other tools;</li>
<li><b><strong>Theme 4</strong></b>: Shifts in agency and creativity as empowerment of learners and educators;</li>
<li><b><strong>Theme 5</strong></b>: Open Source Tools: infrastructure, cloud environments, targeted teaching tools.</li>

The spotlight on academic integrity as an issue has intensified in recent times as technology continues to impact teaching, learning and assessment in higher education. A lot of the discourse centres on identifying breaches of academic integrity using technology, through things like plagiarism checkers and online proctoring tools. At Dublin City University (DCU) we believe that academic integrity should be fostered with students, not policed. One of our recent initiatives includes the development of a suite of 12 Principles of Academic Integrity, which help educators to design and manage assessments that promote academic integrity. These principles are grouped into three categories - Standards; Assessment Design; Student Ownership. Technology can help support the implementation of these 12 principles across the three categories. In this webinar, Dr Fiona O'Riordan (Academic Developer) and Rob Lowney (Learning Technologist) from the DCU Teaching Enhancement Unit will share some of these suggested technology -supported approaches. Additionally, they will invite participants to discuss ways in which they have used technology to support academic integrity, with a view to gathering examples that can potentially be shared wider, such as through the technology-enhanced assessment exemplars OER maintained by DCU.</p>
