In\u00a0the case of eLearning, the advancing technology of the last few decades is\u00a0requiring entirely new perspectives\u00a0on how we think about\u00a0learning and education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To address some of the decidedly 21st-century obstacles that educators are now facing, directors at Harvard\u2019s Office of the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning (VPAL) organized the \u201cEmerging Challenges\u201d conference. <\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Global Perspective on the Future of eLearning<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The event brought together experts in instructional design and program development, digital innovation, and big data research from some of the leading higher education institutions in the world, including Stanford University, Arizona State University, the University of British Columbia, MIT, New York University, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, the University of Chicago, and the University of California at Berkeley, as well as representatives from education companies like Kaplan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When organizing the event, Dustin Tingley, VPAL Research faculty director and Harvard professor of government, emphasized that the conference would be an agenda-free place to share common experiences and discuss best practices without participants feeling that they needed to have all the answers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDigital higher education efforts combine needs for stable and scalable content-delivery systems, subject matter, and pedagogic experts, researchers who craft interventions but also have to handle \u2018big data,\u2019 and complicated programmatic considerations, given that we also offer residential programs. That is not easy, so we wanted to make people focus on identifying challenges rather than selling solutions,\u201d Tingley explained <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/2017\/05\/emerging-challenges-in-digital-higher-education\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in an article from the Harvard Gazette<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cWe found we each face many of the same obstacles \u2014 and our conference discussions helped foment efforts for shared solutions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common Enemies: Identifying the Biggest Challenges Ahead for Digital Education<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1959\" src=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/EmergingChallenges_image_edit-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/EmergingChallenges_image_edit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/EmergingChallenges_image_edit-223x148.jpg 223w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/EmergingChallenges_image_edit-360x241.jpg 360w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/EmergingChallenges_image_edit.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>One of the key issues that participants found they shared was the disconnect between the vast amounts of data being generated by digital learning platforms and the program design of those platforms. Researchers from numerous institutions recognized the importance of taking information about how people interact and engage with online courses, analyzing that data, and synthesizing it into\u00a0conclusions that can then be returned to the designers and directors who create the courses. Many at the conference recognized that the process often stopped before the data was converted into actionable information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This problem was addressed by Ido Roll, senior manager at the University of British Columbia\u2019s Research and Evaluation Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology: \u201cLearner data from courses flows into our data warehouses and is analyzed as part of regular practice. But the resulting information and knowledge should be fed back to instructors and course designers to inform their online learning development work. Information flow should be bidirectional. Questions and challenges that course teams have should direct our data investigations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The importance of \u201cbidirectional information\u201d was among the common threads that helped connect the experiences of the participants from different institutions. Other commonalities became apparent during panel discussions and presentations during the conference. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, many of the conference&#8217;s participants expressed the difficulty of creating adaptable solutions that would serve the wide pool of learners who use MOOCs (massive open online courses). The accessibility of MOOCs to learners who are highly diverse in age, culture, and educational background is one of the most celebrated aspects of eLearning, but it also makes it very difficult to tailor course content and layout in a way that\u2019s successful in teaching all of these participants at the same time, while still meeting credentialing and certification requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attendees like Curtis Northcutt, an MIT computer science Ph.D. candidate, emphasized that this perceived hurdle remains one of the most powerful things about MOOCs and similar digital learning opportunities. \u201cI genuinely hope that learners all over the world, particularly those in underdeveloped and developing nations, can use MOOC certificates to demonstrate what they\u2019ve accomplished, and perhaps even improve their lives,\u201d Northcutt said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cEmerging Challenges\u201d conference helped not only to highlight the needs and shortcomings of the current state of eLearning, but also provided a platform for future collaboration and innovation. Participants at the conference agreed that one of the keys to addressing the challenges of digital education is productive, open communication between institutions, researchers, and teachers to ensure that eLearning continues to move forward.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New tools always mean new problems.
