  1. HelmiHolistic Development of e-Learning and Business ModelsHolistinen verkko-opetuksen ja liiketoimintamallien kehittäminen Riitta Smeds Professor, Information networks Director, SimLab Helsinki University of Technology Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  2. SimLab™ today Accelerator of business process innovation at HUT, Information Networks • SimLab™ Multidisciplinary Research Unit • Research projects and teaching in innovation and learning • Knowledge intensive business processes • Inter-company processes, e-Business, e-Learning • Virtual learning space and methods of SimLab™ • SimLab™ Business Process Fitness Centre • Company projects for business process development and training Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  3. Helmi objectives • Research and develop innovations inprocesses andbusiness models of Finnish networks of e-Learning, including also the educational system in which they are embedded. • Practical objective: develop good practices and ideas for innovations for customer-driven e-Learning processes and business models • Scientific objective: develop and accumulate new scientific knowledge about collaborative innovation and learning in the emerging e-Learning business network Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  4. Consortium • Partners in the Helmi project • The City of Espoo • WSOY • Radiolinja • Helsinki University of Technology • Laurea Polytechnic • Funding from • Academy of Finland, Life as Learning Programme • TEKES, USIX Programme • Schedule • (2001-) 2002 - 2005 Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  5. Research method and approach • Participative SimLab™business process simulations as a development intervention for • selected e-Learning projects • their value chains and business models • Constructive research approach • Action research in the case projects • Comparative case research • Longitudinal follow-up studies • Multidisciplinary research: Business process networks, Management science and Computer science, Education, Social Psychology Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  6. SimLab™ Business Process Simulations Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  7. Analysis and mapping of the process Structured and directed process discussion with case project examples Visualization Participation: whole personnel involved From tacit to explicit knowledge Knowledge sharing and creation The SimLab™ Business Process Simulation Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  8. SimLab in the Helmi project: co-learning through simulation • Helmi research, basic research part • case project analyses, intervention through simulations, comparative case studies, longitudinal research. • Multidisciplinary team • pedagogical sciences, social psychology • management science, information networks • computer science • Scientific deliverables • scientific articles, theses New process models and business models for eLearning Level of joint knowledge in development of Network Enabled Teaching Simulation set Piloting a new course and business model Simulation set 4 Teaching the course developers Continuous improvement • Helmi research, applied part • Case project members • course developers, teachers, students • support people • administration,... • Partners • eWSOY • Radiolinja, Elisa • Espoo • Laurea Polytechnic • HUT • Practical results • Guidelines for educational institutions • Training of course developers • Business models and innovationsin the e-Learning value chain • New pilot course Simulation set Course projects, business models output/ input Simulation set Course projects business models output/ input 2. year 3. year 1. year Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  10. Research topics explored in the comparative Helmi-cases … • User-centered collaborative product development of e-Learning products within public-private networks • Multi-level customer relationships in e-Learning service provisioning for public and private organizations • Development towards an e-Learning culture in educational institutions • what concepts can be used to describe an e-Learning culture? • what are the effects of process simulations on the development of e-learning practices and strategy? Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  11. Research topics, cont’d • Which elements describe the work of the teacher in web-based teaching? • What are the existing roles of the teachers in e-Learning, and what new role expectations do the teachers confront? • How do the structures and processes in the school support the development in teachers’ work? • How do web-course development projects affect • the culture of the work community? • the pedagogical thinking of the teachers? Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  12. First shared observations … • e-Learning is the first ICTapplication to cut through the whole educational organization • Collaborative creation and implementation of e-Learning strategy and process • Teachershipis central, teacher roles evolve; e-Learning is just a tool • Anchoring e-Learning culture is a slow process Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  13. Scientific objectives • 4 Doctoral Thesis manuscripts • 4 Licentiate’s Thesis manuscripts • 10 journal articles • 24 conference articles Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  14. Practical objectives • Generic • Guide of best practices of web-based teaching • Training for developers and teachers of web-based courses • Partner specific • Focused simulations for innovations in e-Learning processes, strategies and business models, together with customers and partners • Simulation and prototyping support for the development of a pilot course Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT

  15. Practical & scientific results contribute to: • Dissemination of results into the whole educational system to support the implementation of e-Learning • Public-private partnerships simulated and developed through the Helmi case projects • public seminars based on research results • articles for the wider audience • Development of the SimLab unit and its methods • New application area: networked service provisioning processes and business models in digital economy • Further development and testing of the collaborative SimLab virtual innovation environment and methods Riitta Smeds | SimLab™ | HUT
