summary:
  This publication is a collection of articles invited from open, distance, and flexible learning practitioners around the world.  The three articles in the Admitting Compromises section shift from individual swamp stories to higher order considerations of the interplay between historical, political, social, economic, technological, and ethical considerations and the solutions (even if off the mark) that emerge.  Evans and Smith, in The Fog of Flexibility: the Riskiness of Flexible Post-secondary Education in Australia, provide a historical perspective on how political changes  have at times led to the rise and decline of equity and access values as key drivers for distance learning.

  The main focus of the meeting was UNESCO's contribution to the campaign to achieve Education for All (EFA) and, in keeping with the club's name, Memory and Future, it brought together three speakers who, between them, could give a perspective on the past, an account of current activities and a taste of the future. Sir John Daniel took up the story from the inception of the EFA campaign at the Jomtien conference in 1990 and reported on its progress until his departure from UNESCO in 2004.

  Firstly European distance education was characterised in the period 1970-1990 by its adoption in seven countries of an open university or single mode teaching university as the primary driver of massified higher education opportunity for adult part-time learners. Moore’s theory is one of the few or indeed may be unique in distance education in that it can be used to test hypotheses, so can be used to frame experiments in tutoring or other learner support activities to assess what change there is in the outcomes of student learning, often judged by student completion.

Based on an early adult education career of seven years in East Africa, Moore has maintained a special interest in the use of distance education in economic and social development.

  However, the use of these indicators as MOOC quality measures is highly problematic, since completion is not always the goal of individual learners (Littlejohn et al., 2016) and therefore not an appropriate measure of the quality of learning on its own. Indicators of MOOC Quality Dimensions of MOOC quality depend largely on two variables: the MOOC’s purpose and the perspective of the particular actor.

  While education, and higher education, are seen as critical to the SDGs there are those who see distance education as playing a central role (e.g., Uvalić-Trumbić & Daniel, 2016), those who see open educational resources as important (MacKinnon, Pasfield-Neofitou, Manns, & Grant, 2016), others who forefront education for sustainable development (e.g., Gokool-Ramdoo & Rumjaun, 2016) and others who mention two or more of these, such as the International Council for Distance Education who quoted from the Incheon Declaration to state that: A well-established, properly-regulated tertiary education system supported by technology, Open Educational Resources (OERs) and distance education modalities can increase access, equity, quality and relevance, and narrow the gap between what is taught at tertiary education institutions and what economies and societies demand. By 2030, ensure equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university 277 • By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development This latter target, that relates directly to education for sustainable development, is also known as education for sustainability, which in itself sets up another never ending debate on what is meant by sustainable development or by sustainability in general (Gokool-Ramdoo & Rumjaun, 2016) and in relation to higher education (Wals & Jickling, 2002; Blackmore, Ison, & Reynolds, 2014; MacKinnon et al, 2016).

This generates a lot of positive emotions like gratitude, love of learning, academic engagement and emotional management, which will hold the interest of the learners on the online platform and make them constructors of knowledge.

  Book Review: Dede & Richards, Eds., The 60-Year Curriculum: New Models for Lifelong Learning in the Digital Economy

summary:
  Punya Mishra and Jacqueline Smith from Arizona State University (ASU) cover design models for lifelong education in Chapter 6 entitled “Known for Whom We Include: Designing Model for Lifelong Education at Arizona State University”. It is not just concepts and constructs in the academic realm that need ‘unlearning’ from things that just do not apply anymore, but we need this across the mega- environment of higher education.

summary:
  I must note, not only that this is a significant addition to OER research literature, but also that the well-articulated research framework adopted by the researcher is worth consideration for future OER studies. The findings suggest that: i) though teachers generally have a positive attitude toward OER and are happy to ‘share’, they are not as much willing to use OER of others; ii) the most important user-motivation was willingness to share, followed by learning opportunities, collaboration and professional image, though, ‘learning effectiveness of students’ could not be identified as a motivator; iii) for perception of quality of OER, authenticity was a major factor, followed by appropriateness to current teaching-learning and localisation of content; iv) the major barriers included lack of knowledge about licensing and copyright issues, current teaching workload, lack of technical support, and absence of OER policy; and v) the regression analysis results indicate that the displayed positive attitude was highly influenced by opportunities of partnership, learning and recognition opportunities, and the philosophy of reaching-the-unreached.

summary:
  Ubiquitous access to open content offers an opportunity to re-think the basis on which we organize the educational experiences of school students and to liberate the time of teachers so they can focus on providing meaningful support to students rather than continuing to act predominantly as conduits of information from the textbook to the students. The experiments conducted at St Peter’s College have demonstrated a significantly different application of OER, one that is both much cheaper even than OER textbook initiatives (given the vast eco-system of OER that exists already online, once the VLE infrastructure is established, basic capacities are developed, and models can be demonstrated to work successfully, there is no major additional investment required of any kind) and that brings the added value of developing a much wider range of student competencies than just subject knowledge.

In the next research paper on mobile as a teaching tool in secondary schools, the author reports the findings of a phenomenological research (documentary review, semi-structured interview, focus group discussion) on school teachers, which suggests that while teachers not only did not use the full potential of mobile in their teaching, there was also misuse of mobile phones in schools, and so there is a need to develop contextual guidelines and frameworks on ethical use and integration of mobile technology in teaching and learning.

summary:
  Mandinach (2005) suggests three general goals for the evaluation of online learning courses: (i) measuring the impact learning has on the individual learner in order to measure the institution’s capacity for fulfilling the learning objectives of the course; (ii) measure the impact of online learning as a relatively new learning process; and, (iii) gather information at the organizational level about the impact of the institution’s online learning program. Online courses often incorporate discussion forums to stimulate dialogue on a particular subject between learners and this flow of communication and ideas can further strengthen networks and develop a deeper sense of identity as a member of a particular network.

  Challenges of Adopting Open Educational Resources (OER) in Kenyan Secondary Schools: The Case of Open Resources for English Language Teaching (ORELT)

summary:
  In the case study by Quinn et al (2011), early and sustained user involvement in the project was by way of a number of language teachers from the institution being employed to carry out project tasks as research assistants, project assistants, technical testers, resource ‘uploaders’, trainers and champions. Each teacher was given a set of six hardcover ORELT modules and an online training manual depending on the self-declared enrollment in their classrooms, a DVD version of the same, and password-secured access to the ORELT online platform where they could, in addition to accessing the modules, have interactive sessions with other teachers 154 using the same materials in the entire Commonwealth.

  Challenges to the Effective Teaching and Learning of Geography through ODeL at the Zimbabwe Open University

summary:
  ZOUs blended learning teaching principles are premised on the need to : • produce a campus-wide environment that embeds blended learning as a means of enhancing the learning outcomes of students, • develop an environment that permits enhanced interaction and collaboration between faculty and students, • integrate technology and face-to-face teaching to support student learning experiences and outcomes, • provide supportive technical infrastructure for the effective and competent delivery of instruction, • reduce the economic impact on the delivery costs of education at the ZOU, • craft a quality assurance framework and consistent instruction. ODeL students face several challenges (Musingafi et al, 2015).

  A Social Justice Framework for Understanding Open Educational Resources and Practices in the Global South

summary:
  Chapter 16 (Arinto, Hodgkinson-Williams & Trotter, 2017) employs the social inclusion framework of Gidley, Hampson, Wheeler and Bereded-Samuel (2010) to uncover the factors that might account for the extent of OER use, adaptation and creation observed in the ROER4D studies to draw insights into how social inclusion through OER and OEP can be achieved in the Global South. As we will see in the next section, however, while OER use may be a fitting response to the economic inequities faced by many students and educators, it may also inadvertently lead to greater cultural imbalances if OER is used uncritically.

Language learning supported by smartphones and other mobile devices has been the subject of extensive research as well as a field of innovative practice since its beginning (see Chinnery, 2006), and it continues to be recognized as an important means of innovating language learning (Chong, 2018).

summary:
  Her first seminal work was E-moderating: The key to teaching and learning online (2000 – third edition, 2011), in which she developed the much cited and employed five-stage model of structured support in online learning, from ‘access and motivation’ through ‘knowledge construction’ to ‘development’ (see www.gillysalmon.com/five-stage-model). The model was further developed in E-tivities: The key to active online learning (2002 – second edition, 2013), which launched a new term of ‘e-tivities’ – now ubiquitous – and provided frameworks to enable individuals and groups to participate actively online (see www.gillysalmon.com/e-tivities).
