  1. Towards a research agenda for open education Prof. Dr. Marco Kalz Chair for Open Educaton Faculty Management, Science and Technology & Welten Institute Open University of the Netherlands • marco.kalz@ou.nl • http://www.linkedin.com/in/mkalz • http://twitter.com/mkalz • http://www.marcokalz.de

  2. Open Universiteit • 18 000 students • 3 faculties (Psychology & Educational Sciences, Law and Cultural Science, Management, Science and Technology) • 60 Mio Budget • 15 study centers • Welten Institute: Expertise Centre on Technology- • Enhanced Learning (3 Mio Budget)

  3. Always open: OUNL • Open higher education for everybody • Open in time • Open in location • (Partly) open in costs • Open in educational offer • Open source tradition • Open research tradition

  4. Some open initiatives MOOCS on E-Learning, Blended Learning & Marine Litter Online Masterclasses OpenU Open Learning Environment OpenErOER Open Educational Practices Open Educational Innovations 2009 2011 2013 - 2015 2006

  5. Research about MOOCs • 166 scientific publications in 6 years • TEL: 3500 publications in 10 years (Kalz & Specht, 2011)

  6. Research about MOOCs Up to 2012: Focus on case studies, underlying educational theory or impact on higher education (Liyanagunawardena, Adams, & Williams, 2013) The learner perspective is underrepresented

  7. A self-referential network Kalz (forthcoming)

  8. An interdisciplinary research topic Veletsianos & Sheperdson, 2015

  9. Rebooting MOOC research Engagement Learning Cross-context Single MOOCs Design research Post-hoc analysis

  10. Research challenges of open education Achievement & Attrition SDL/SRL Innovation Instructional Quality Scalability

  11. Achievement & Attrition 160 000 enrolled 20 000 completed

  12. Achievement & Attrition

  13. Achievement & Attrition

  14. Achievement & Attrition Jordan, 2015

  15. A […] more important limitation […] is the tendency to ignore the perspective of the individual […]Such definitions of dropout […] imply connotations of inferiority […] of the individual dropping out. Tinto & Cullen, 1973

  16. Achievement & Attrition Kalz, Kreijns, Walhout, Castano-Munoz, Espasa & Tovar, 2015

  17. What do the learners say?

  18. Instructional quality by Terry Giliam MOOC

  19. The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled. Plutarch

  20. Instructional quality • Margaryan, Bianco & Littlejohn (2014) (n=76) • No instructor feedback • Limited amount of problem-centeredness • Missing explicit learning goals or not measurable ones • Low amount of application of knowledge

  21. Instructional quality • Koedinger et al. (2015) • Comparing passive learning in a MOOC via video with active learning via interactive activities • Active learning is six times more effective than watching more videos • No selection effect in sample

  23. Scalability Which educational methods are scalable?

  24. Scalability Costs Quality Scalability

  25. Scalability • Massive inflow into EU HEA expected in next 10 years • How can we scale up the education system as a whole?

  26. Self-directed (regulated) learning MOOCs are open, but …there are hidden filters and gates.

  27. Self-directed (regulated) learning

  28. Self-directed (regulated) learning Individual Learning Dispositions Ambrose et al., 2010

  29. Self-directed (regulated) learning Prior experiences with SRL and technology impact self-efficacy and motivation SRL in a technology-rich context requires step-wise introduction and support Lee, Tsai, Chai, & Koh (2015)

  30. Self-directed (regulated) learning

  31. Innovation

  32. Innovation by Gareth Millner @ Flickr
