The document discusses the need to teach web standards and accessibility in education programs. It notes a disconnect between what skills the web industry needs and what is taught. While web design modules aim to teach best practices, the topics may be too broad to cover fully in short courses. Educational materials also risk becoming outdated quickly given the changing nature of web technologies. The document promotes resources like the Opera Web Standards Curriculum and the Web Standards Project InterAct framework that provide guidance for teaching core web development skills while addressing industry needs and standards.

WHAT STUDENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WEB STANDARDS AND ACCESSIBILITY

Standards Education W3 C 15.10.2009 Small

mind the gap: disconnect between industry
needs and education

web design modules: can you convey web
standards / best practice in such short time?

moving target: outdated materials, outdated
skills, IT resources, changing requirements

slow to change: lead time for new course
creation too long, bureaucratic?

IT / computer science focus on “real”
development

relevance of standards for cross-browser,
cross-platform … ubiquitous web

accessibility = blind users + screenreaders?

accessibility = usability (in most cases)

Education and Outreach for other web
standards lacking?

resources and initiatives that can help…
(and incidentally Opera are involved with)

association with Yahoo! Developer Network

learner-centered articles providing focused,
self-contained lessons, split into topics on
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, …

I-HE2020 Digitally back and forth? New mobility patterns across Europe

EADTU

The document discusses how COVID-19 has impacted international student mobility in Germany and Europe. A DAAD study found that 80,000 international students left Germany after the outbreak and two-thirds of German universities saw disrupted study plans. Universities responded by offering virtual options, but uncertainty remains around how many students will utilize these. The DAAD has launched new digital programs to support internationalization efforts during the pandemic, including programs for virtual academic collaboration and digitizing international master's programs. Overall, the pandemic has accelerated digitalization in higher education and international cooperation.

Open Education Global (OEGlobal)

This document discusses academic and industry alliances and how they can enhance technical education. It provides details on several specific alliance programs including Microsoft Dynamics, NetApp, and Oracle Academy. These programs provide benefits like software, curriculum materials, certifications, and other resources to integrate industry technologies into academic courses. However, there are also challenges to consider like the effort required to integrate new materials, content becoming outdated quickly, and potential vendor lock-in. Overall such alliances can add significant value if managed carefully.

Open Education Global (OEGlobal)

This document discusses several initiatives related to open educational resources (OER) in Ireland and Italy. In Ireland, a new coding course is being piloted for secondary students. A Scratch programming program has reached over half of primary and secondary teachers. The University of Limerick runs a technology enhanced learning unit and an online skills campaign. They also organize computing camps for students, one of which received Google funding. In Italy, the D-Fine project aims to set up digital fabrication labs in technical high schools to promote skills among students and small businesses. The labs will offer services to help organizations adopt new technologies and become self-sustaining over time.

Key elements of effective professional development identified include knowledge resources, collaboration, evaluation, and sustainability.

Assessment vs evaluation

Istiqomah Assefi

Assessment and evaluation are related but distinct processes for measuring student learning. Assessment is an ongoing process aimed at improving student learning by collecting information over time through various methods, such as samples of student work, observations, self-assessments, and tests. The results are used to provide feedback to students and improve teaching. Evaluation makes overall judgments about broader programs and courses by analyzing multiple sources of information, such as test scores, assessment reports, and interviews. While assessment and evaluation are sometimes used interchangeably, evaluation has a broader scope focused on summative experiences, not just individual student performance.

Accessibility analysis in MOOC platforms. A case study: UNED COMA and UAb iMOOC

The Open Education Consortium

This document summarizes an accessibility analysis of the UNED COMA and UAb iMOOC MOOC platforms. The analysis evaluated the platforms using several methods: automatic accessibility tools, disability simulators, testing tools, usability criteria, and an analysis of educational content. Both platforms scored averages of 5-6 out of 10, indicating serious accessibility issues. Specific problems identified included lack of subtitles, sign language interpretation, and alternative text for images on both platforms. The analysis concludes the platforms have significant room for improvement to be accessible for students with disabilities. Future work is proposed to measure success of vulnerable students and provide more accessibility indicators.

OERs and MOOCs – the Romanian experience

Diana Andone

OERs and MOOCs – the Romanian experience paper, authors Radu Vasiu, Diana Andone, presented at International Conference on Web & Open Access to Learning, 24-27 November 2014, Dubai, UEA. Using Open Educational Resources (OER) provides opportunities for collaboration both in the classroom and beyond. Started in 2008 and gathering momentum over the past two years, now an online phenomenon, MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) reunite different perspectives over a globalized online learning. The paper analyses the use of OER and MOOCs in different study cases in Romanian universities. Several OER initiatives resulted from the over 1000 academia involved in the DidaTec lifelong learning and training for higher education teachers in the technical sciences and engineering field as a training course for university professors in 12 universities, within the aim of improving the use of ICT in higher education. Four universities from Romania started a Romanian MOOC environment, the UniCampus, which provides free access to valuable education in Romanian language, presented by well-known professors. The evaluation and quality assurance challenges of the Unicampus are mainly due to the restrictive educational setting in Romania. Two study cases on blending MOOCs in traditional higher education courses at undergraduate and Master level are also analysed from the impact on students’ motivation. Integrating MOOCs in blended learning empower students with new abilities and requires a new and open teacher model.

Accessibility in the context of UKOER pilot phase

The document discusses accessibility issues related to open educational resources (OERs) in the context of the UK OER programme pilot phase. It outlines some key OER-specific accessibility challenges including unknown user contexts, lack of quality control when resources are repurposed, and inability to control accessibility in different environments where resources are used. The document also analyzes how accessibility was approached during the UK OER pilot phase, noting it was often an afterthought due to cost and time constraints. It recommends producing specific OER accessibility guidelines and promoting tools to help create accessible resources.
