9 Keynote Overview: 1. Why Open Learning? 2. What Kind of Innovations? 3. What are the Trends? 4. Which E-Learning Standards? 5. Which Frameworks and Tools? 6. How to Implement? 7. How to Participate?

10 Why Open Learning?

11 The Digital Age Two core factors: 1. Globalisation & 2. Worldwide Internet Photo:

12 Internationalization Global Competitions and societal changes Close the gaps & open new opportunities Challenges: Learn to Learn

13 Learning cha(lle)nges Not knowledge but competences are required to meet future jobs and tasks still unknown today Change from input to outcome orientation Input: Knowledge (E-)Learning Outcome: Competences

14 Solutions: Competences Competence and skills development focuses the new challenge Learning outcomes for defining learning opportunities and working places

15 Solutions: Innovations Tailor-made learning designs to support the learning processes Before, during & after the crisis: Online Communities & Lifelong (E-)Learning

16 Solutions: Quality Quality is key for success and results of learning processes Learners needs, Learning objectives, Learning outcomes and competences

17 What Kind of Innovations?

18 Buzzwords & Hype Cycles CSCW E-Learning Online Communities (CoP) Second Life Facebook Twitter MOOCs

19 Innovations vs. Quality 1. Learning history should not and cannot be ignored. 2. Learning innovations are mainly technology-driven. 3. Learning is not completely changing.

20 Quality 1. Innovations Jump??? Mix 3. History Now Tradition 2. Future Time

21 Quality Development Quality development covers every kind of strategy, analysis, design, realisation, evaluation, and continuous improvement of the quality within given systems.

22 Solutions: Quality Quality is key for success and results of learning processes Learners needs, Learning objectives, Learning outcomes and competences

23 Quality is different Quality consists of three dimensions and cannot be defined Quality needs to be adapted to YOUR quality!

24 In addition: Standards Standards are important tools Quality standards have always to be adapted! EN ISO/IEC ISO/IEC ISO/IEC 36001

25 Quality: Most important... and "new pedagogy" is important just the same!

26 What are the Trends?

36 Which E-Learning Standards?

37 ISO/IEC ISO Standard for Competencies: Information Model for Competency Three parts: 1. Competency General Framework and Information Model 2. Proficiency Information Model 3.
