Quality 2.0?
Dr. Ulf-Daniel Ehlers ::: European Foundation for Quality in E-Learning ::: [email protected]
Web 1.0 Web 2.0
Off and On: Access is the challenge, Websites are made by institutions or ‚Techies‘.
Surfing: Web is pull medium, Infos are downloaded and archived
Knowledge from experts: Static projects which a defined begin and end, offered to public.
Call by call: Dial-up, text oriented bc. of high costs
We are on: Internet needs no pre-knowledge, ubiquitous availability.
Posting/ Publishing: Web is pull and push medium, patricipative.
Wisdom of the crowds: Microcontent, User‘s preferences influence representation.
Always online: Broadband, Flatrates, video, audio.
Ready-made,
read-only web Do-It-Y

Ubiquitous
Learning takes place everywhere and in different contexts, not only in
a classroom.
Learners` built
Learners are the organisers, participation not acquistion.
Lifelong
Learning takes place lifelong, is multiepisodic and not bound to
institutions.
Community related
Learning takes place in communities (of practice): Learners
join communities.
Informal & non-formal
Much learning takes place informal, non-formal, at home, at workplace and in spare time, not teacher- and
institution oriented.

LMS = costly Data graves
Real life plays next door
Internet is the Content (self generating, updating)
Value of learning = not content but reflective practice
Rip, mix & learn (Richardson 2005) instead preformed course materials
LMS 2.0 = PLEs = E-Portfolios, Blogs, etc.

Informal Learning
Formalisation of informal Learninginformalisation of formal learning
Quality development: evaluation & certifictaion of content, processes, programs, institutions
Quality management: organisational proceedures and indicators for their quality
Quality assurance: analyses if a certain level of quality is met
Quality control: looks for errors, mistakes
Learning not in formal institutional education but informal and outside organisations
Who is determining the quality?
No pre-defined learning content
Learning processes highly heterogenous
What can be evaluated?
With which methods?

Quality for E-Learning 2.0 is not primarily an assessment against standards but is • development oriented, • a methodology to enable learners to deepen understanding, • and to improve their learning processes• self-reflection, self-assessment, peer-evaluation

E-Learning 2.0 – Quality 2.0: Not a new generation of quality methodology but changing functions and roles
From acquisition & reception to participation & negotiation: A new metaphor for learning
From control to culture & reflection: Not conformity but reflection
From inspection to inspiration: Towards quality as innovation
From product & process to competence & performance
From consumer to (co-)producer of learning: Focus on artefacts and processes
From ‘island of learning’ to ‘island hopping’

Quality 2.0 Methods
Dr. Ulf-Daniel Ehlers ::: European Foundation for Quality in E-Learning ::: [email protected]
Example 1: Self-Evaluation
Step 1: Negotiation & Participation
Learners are involved into the definition of criteria for evaluation of learning, they are coached by the development of their own objectives
Step 2: Evaluation
Learners apply the criteria to their own learning experiences.
Step 3: Feedback / Callibration
Learner receive a feedback to their own evaluation from the teachers and the peers, the aim is a calibration of their own judgement through a triangulation of perspectives.
Step 4: Learning Competence Development
Learners are encouraged to develop learning paths form themselves on basis of their evaluation.
From assessment of learning to assessment for learning!

Example 2: Assessment of Portfolios
Characteristics E-Portfolio
Preparation +++ for Learner / --- for teacher
Forms - Project oriented e-portfolio-work- E-Portfolios document analysis
Evaluated Content - Artefacts (Materials)- Reflection on learning - Microcontent- Assignments/ Projects
Evaluation Crtieria - Evaluation grid (competence levels)- Competence oriented- Learner oriented- Qualitative evaluation
Test/ Exams - presentation of ePortfolio work - subjektiv evaluation (peer-review)
The big questions...?!
The drift to openess raises qustions...:
What is the effect of openess on educational scenarios and what are suitabe quality methods for open learning, for OER?
What is (good) quality „open practice“/ „open educational practice“?
How can open learning be recognised?
What is quality of MOOCs?

MOOCs and Quality...?!
Should we care about the MOOC drop outs?
Do MOOCs challenge the current HE model?
How will it be looking when learning and certification will be disaggregated?
What is it that makes a model with high drop out, little success rates and heterogenious target groups popular?
