9. Dr. Ulf-Daniel Ehlers ::: European Foundation for Quality in E-Learning ::: ulf.ehlers@icb.uni-due.de
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-Yourself
and publish Web

11. Ubiquitous
Learning takes place everywhere
and in different contexts, not only in
a classroom.

12. Learners` built
Learners are the organisers,
participation not acquistion.

13. Lifelong
Learning takes place lifelong, is
multiepisodic and not bound to
institutions.

14. Community related
Learning takes place in communities
(of practice): Learners
join communities.

15. Informal & non-formal
Much learning takes place informal,
non-formal, at home, at workplace
and in spare time, not teacher- and
institution oriented.

18. 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 Learning

20. 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 1.0
E-Learning 2.0

Where is quality in…
E-Learning 1.0? E-Learning 2.0?
Quality assessed through experts Quality assessed through learners
and peers

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

22. 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

24. Dr. Ulf-Daniel Ehlers ::: European Foundation for Quality in E-Learning ::: ulf.ehlers@icb.uni-due.de
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!

26. 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?

32. 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?
