Here questions about ethics, equity, epistemology and power are raised.\n\nThe second section outlines 3 key arguments framing the design of justice-oriented Digital Education  1.) There is no one-size-fits-all framework for creating justice-oriented Digital Education. Justice-as-content, justice-as-pedagogy and justice-as-process are 3 approaches to use at different moments 2.) Designers and implementers need to examine their subjectivities and how these shape the epistemological framings of the course from its conceptualisation. 3.) Greater emphasis is needed on situational factors outside the construction of the digital learning experience, i.e. factors beyond content, outcomes, and assessments.\n\nThe third section wraps up by giving four practical guidelines on how we can strive to design and implement more justice-oriented digital education.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "XZ9QGF", "name": "Taskeen Adam", "avatar": "https://pretalx.com/media/avatars/XZ9QGF_gjgwPkU.webp", "biography": "Taskeen Adam is an Associate Manager with Open Development & Education and a Senior Research Lead at EdTech Hub.

Audio-visual productions gained a bigger interest and presence throughout the project. At this stage, a series of lessons learned are at hand and we ask the following question: how can these lessons help us shape and build learning and teaching landscapes of the future? \n\nThis workshop will first give a few examples illustrating how teachers and students used videos as teaching material, produced them in collaboration with other teachers and/or students and submitted or requested them as part of assignments fully integrated in mandatory courses. The second part will focus on better understanding the underlying processes and direct consequences in terms of resources, support (media literacy, digital competences, legal issues, open practices and education, etc.) and implementation of new formats.  In the last part of the workshop, all participants and presenters will design a few scenarios inspired by the opportunities and challenges derived from the examples presented in the workshop, their own experience and the tendencies and trends in the field of teaching and learning.\n\n**Please register via events.livesciences3@uni-goettingen.de**", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "8RPEZP", "name": "Anne Sennhenn", "avatar": "https://pretalx.com/media/avatars/8RPEZP_W33wgDp.webp", "biography": "Since 2020 liveSciences\u00b3 IMKD project coordinator at the Georg-August-Universit\u00e4t G\u00f6ttingen; passionate about designing open  international learning opportunities and facilitating student mobility with digital services.", "public_name": "Anne Sennhenn", "guid": "a4b94386-4e2a-589c-9095-b68b9c5503fc", "url": "https://pretalx.com/mtd2022/speaker/8RPEZP/"}, {"code": "SPHKMY", "name": "Chahira Nouira", "avatar": "https://pretalx.com/media/avatars/SPHKMY_VuTEXNW.webp", "biography": "Chahira Nouira is currently working at the University of G\u00f6ttingen, Germany as an Instructional Designer.

Despite this, the assessment process can be an afterthought in discussions about student data. As part of the trust network, we play a key role in learner mobility. In many cases, the learner or issuing institution shares the learner\u2019s credentials with the evaluator. Sometimes the evaluator works at a receiving institution, but often it is a third party who receives the credentials and then performs an assessment, and finally produces a report stating the comparability of the education from one system to another.  \nThe format in which the evaluator receives documents varies from paper to data, with many variations in between, including verification, PDFs, and scans. We need to have processes in place to confirm the authenticity of the documents, prepare an assessment, and issue a report. In this session, the presenter will briefly describe the evaluation process, and the challenges faced in obtaining authentic credentials, as well as ways reports are issued \u2013 via portals, APIs, and old-fashioned paper. Networks that include credential evaluators allow learners to exercise their self-sovereign identity in deciding how to use and share assessments and get academic achievements recognized across borders. \nA great deal of flexibility is required, particularly in the case of refugees and other displaced people. Evaluators employ digital solutions to provide more options for learners with difficulty accessing documentation of their credentials.  \nThe presenter will provide topics for discussion, including: Who owns the assessment? Can it expire if policies or conclusions change? What can we do to support lifelong learning? What is the assessor\u2019s role in ensuring authenticity of credentials?

Diversifying international exchange through the development of digital learning and teaching scenarios as well as the digitalization of cooperative processes therefore becomes more and more important for a sustainable future. \nWith funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, DAAD\u2019s digitalization programs International Mobility and Cooperation Digital (IMKD), International Programmes Digital (IP Digital) and International Virtual Academic Collaboration (IVAC) IMKD, IP Digital, and IVAC have contributed to the digital transformation of Germany\u2019s higher education sector on various levels. 147 projects have been conducted in these three programs and enabled German universities as well as their international partners to digitalize administrative processes, international master study programs, and curricula. \nAfter a short introduction of the three programs, we will reflect on the learnings we acquired from single projects. What challenges did they face? In which areas do universities require more support? Which structures and funding mechanisms could help universities in reaching their internationalization and digitalization objectives? We rely on knowledge and best practices derived from networking and community building activities of our funded projects, which have been collected over the last 18 months. Furthermore, we can share preliminary study results of our comprehensive study on IMKD, IP Digital, and IVAC.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "S7V8KT", "name": "Judith Venherm", "avatar": "https://pretalx.com/media/avatars/S7V8KT_2snRbmS.webp", "biography": "Judith Venherm is a Senior Desk Officer at the Section Digitalisation for Internationalisation, Universities of Applied Sciences.

VE can prepare for, deepen, or extend physical exchanges or, as shown by COVID-19, it can also emulate them. VEs are known to prepare students for the globalised digital workplace as they focus on transversal skills development (Crawford, 2021). However, VE and VE-based IaH are not inherently equitable and inclusive. Like other forms of online or blended education, they are prone to Western hegemonies and influenced by inequalities in access to and experience with technology, institutional constraints (e.g., lack of support and incentives for educators), gender, race, age, English language dominance, and socio-political and geopolitical challenges (Helm, 2020). Critical VE (CVE) (Hauck, 2020; Klimanova & Hellmich, 2021) aims to ensure more equitable, inclusive, and purposeful student exchange experiences. These are characterised by the following elements: \na) The use of low-bandwidth technologies\nb) A focus on students underrepresented in IaH, e.g., from low socio-economic backgrounds (SoB) \nc) Student exchange project topics informed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a distinct way of addressing the SDGs through the student exchanges\nd) Wherever possible, integrating local student outreach work with businesses, NGOs, and charities.\n\nMoreover, CVE is informed by critical digital literacy (CDL) that leverages digital technologies for social justice-oriented action and change, e.g., by reaching out to a wider, more diverse range of students in collaborative online learning projects (Darvin, 2020; Nicolaou, 2021). CDL is also about finding out how power operates in digital contexts; how it shapes knowledge, identities, and social relationships in ways that privilege some and marginalise others (Darvin, 2017).\n\nIn this contribution I will introduce a framework for CVE and present and discuss current examples.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "QFND8Q", "name": "Mirjam C Hauck", "avatar": "https://pretalx.com/media/avatars/QFND8Q_J1MMRRg.webp", "biography": "Dr. Mirjam Hauck is Associate Head for Internationalisation, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the School of Languages and Applied Linguistics at the Open University/UK and a Senior Fellow of the UK\u2019s HEA.

Crises challenge and encourage future leaders to consider, call for, and create sustainable solutions while relying on skills and competencies promoted and enhanced by their institutions. Identifying two categories of skills and competencies for the 21st century, Douglas Bourn cites cognitive skills, i. e. thinking critically, including a multi-perspective approach, and non-cognitive skills, which comprise of interacting with people of diverse backgrounds (6). This translates into digital literacy, local-global connections, international awareness, and intercultural competencies, among others. Virtual Exchange provides a low-threshold approach that allows educators to open spaces for exploring these criteria. While looking at the role of the Humanities in investigating issues and problem-solving strategies, this contribution argues that VE lends itself to analyses of climate change, migration, military conflict, and the effects of the pandemic. Extrapolating from the COIL-project \u201cOur World in Crisis\u201d, co-taught by the University of Mannheim and the Salem State University, Massachusetts in spring 2022, this paper illustrates the steps from the idea to the development, implementation, and evaluation of VE. Hurdles and challenges as well as outputs, outcomes, and impacts are equally investigated: This contribution discusses a tricky digital infrastructure, unequal assessment, and the difficulty of monitoring on the one hand, and highlights how students learn to integrate different perspectives, exchange their views in international settings and develop ideas to take on the world\u2019s problems on the other hand.

To ensure the meaningfulness and presentability of learning outcomes, our goal is to create a system that maps skills and competencies to established taxonomies such as esco to make those outcomes comparable and visible on a certificate.\nTo keep participants' information within the credentials issued secure and tamper-free, we will use a Quorum blockchain that supports smart contracts. Moving forward, its distributed ledger architecture will serve both as a means to ensure the identities of actors involved (DIDs) and prevent alterations of credentials (VCs). We aim at keeping our system independent from third parties using a centralized system. \nCryptographically, our system will use zero knowledge and range proofs to facilitate compliance with GDPR regulation to maintain data sparsity. This will also allow for selective disclosure. We aim at being post-quantum-ready.\nDifferent blockchain implementations can be classified based on their properties of scalability, decentralization, and security. These three properties cannot be maximized simultaneously in one system: Increasing decentralization by adding nodes reduces security. As requirements for these properties may be evaluated differently in similar use cases, we chose to make the blockchain technology used configurable. Our setup has high scalabilty resulting in reduced decentralization and security. Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) aim at overcoming disadvantages of a PKI, such as a high centralization resulting in hierarchization and vulnerability of trust instances. Using DIDs in a blockchain-based PKI (DPKI) solves these drawbacks, providing a highly distributed log system based on smart contracts.\nThe second layer solution on top of a blockchain \u2013 the Sidetree \u2013 will enable the use of verifiable DIDs that can be uniquely associated with documents, while reducing the capacity to store public keys.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "GKTDFT", "name": "Philipp Zagler", "avatar": "https://pretalx.com/media/avatars/GKTDFT_GnGAIUC.webp", "biography": "Philipp Zagler is a research associate at the TH Luebeck for the Project MyEduLife.", "public_name": "Philipp Zagler", "guid": "05841f13-4b5f-5dbc-bc2c-cc4111528105", "url": "https://pretalx.com/mtd2022/speaker/GKTDFT/"}, {"code": "JCWD8R", "name": "Fateme Fathi", "avatar": null, "biography": "Fateme Fathi is a Ph.D. candidate at the chair of information systems and databases - Computer Science 5 (i5) group at the RWTH Aachen University, with a demonstrated history of working in computer software industry and data science.

The Covid-19 pandemic has arguably accelerated digitization in higher education collaboration. To some extent, the benefits and promises of digitization have mitigated some of the constraints imposed by Covid-19 and provided universities, teachers, and students new tools for collaboration. This has motivated our team to systematically develop a full-fledged digital master's program, which is generously funded by the DAAD under the IP Digital program. \nHowever, digitalization also reaches its limits when faced with limited Internet access, low bandwidth, and a rather centralized Internet infrastructure, for example, in terms of providers. Moreover, disruptive environments, in particular political crises and civil wars, can further exacerbate the need for digitalization and alternatives to conventional forms of teaching and studying. In this presentation we want to share our experiences of continuing and digitalizing an international master\u2019s program in times of multiple crises and how we responded to critical junctures that abruptly changed the basic parameters of our study program. To that end, we discuss the benefits and limits of virtual exchanges and blended mobility within a global study environment. In doing so, we shed light on hitherto neglected aspects within the debates on digitalization of universities in Germany, by highlighting a largely non-European context. We are thus synthesizing and sharing the lessons we have learned so far in a program, in which we address ways of dealing with multiple crises both content-wise with our focus on peace and security, and by adapting the framework for teaching.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "XBYWEF", "name": "Enrico Behne", "avatar": null, "biography": "Enrico Behne\nis a PhD candidate at the Graduate School Global and Area Studies, a research assistant at the Global and European Studies Institute, both at Leipzig University, as well as Conflict Analyst and Head of the Working Group on Sub-Saharan Africa at the Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research.

The presentation will describe how five teachers from four different countries have developed their digital competences in a multidisciplinary virtual exchange project by applying the European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu, 2017). In order for students to be successful 21st century citizens, they must be able to use digital technologies in their personal and professional lives. To help them in this process, it is imperative that teachers have a certain level of digital competence to instill these competences in their students. It is therefore important to first identify the level of digital competence teachers have and what they can do to improve their levels. The DigCompEdu framework was applied to five teachers who have been working together for five years on a sustainable virtual exchange project. These teachers were initially at the Explorer level (A2), according to this framework. The results indicate that all five teachers progressed throughout the five years of the project to the Expert level (B2) of the same framework.

Fixity and fluidity were redefined during Covid-19 when academia became simultaneously mobile and immobile as well as digital not by choice. The disruption of the pandemic provided multiple opportunities for short term mobility and virtual designs. This increased participation in global learning by students who do not typically engage with traditional forms of mobility. As we are moving towards the aftermath of the 2019 pandemic, the time is right for conceptualising mobility beyond physical presence/absence and introduce designs that beyond binaries such as virtual/physical, on/off line or global/local. \n\nAccordingly this panel, on behalf of The Guild of European Research-Intensive Universities, is to critically discuss and problematise the multiple meanings and models of mobility drawing on the experience of four countries and focusing specifically in the format of joint degrees as case studies. We explore the complex relationship between the triptych of mobility, flexibility and individualised learning as policy tools, such as the European Degree Label aspire to enhance European collaboration. We discuss the experience of models of blended and virtual mobility that we consider cases of good practice. In doing so, we also consider which aspects of learning are quintessentially social, and which cannot be replaced by online formats. Finally, we discuss ways in which HE institutions need to be supported to truly engage with and benefit from the Digital strategy and we propose a three-level framework of blended mobility bringing together transnational HE collaboration and curricular and co-curricular learning. \n\nIn closing, we suggest a conceptual shift to mobility from a \u2018singular\u2019 individual experience and \u2018state of being\u2019 to a process by which opportunity for international learning, short and longer, term are embedded in the curricular and co-curricular offering of an institution and which enables regional, national and international connectivity.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"code": "MYXTVC", "name": "Jo Angouri", "avatar": "https://pretalx.com/media/avatars/MYXTVC_jhhDL0f.webp", "biography": "Professor Jo Angouri is the University-level Academic Director for Education and Internationalisation at the University of Warwick, a Visiting Distinguished Professor at Aalto University, School of Business, Finland and Affiliate -Visiting Professor- at Monash University.

By the time the implementation of the project started, this became impossible and the project team had to adapt quickly to the new circumstances by being among the first ones to introduce virtual exchange and blended mobility into their program. She will explain in detail what adjustments had to be made to tailor the plans to the changed landscape, what were the biggest challenges and how they managed to successfully overcome them.

Online education can be called a tool that can make the teaching-learning process more innovative and flexible. In fact, students will have the opportunity to connect with a larger base of learners and have the time to absorb information. Despite the potential of online education as a tool to increase educational performance, if students are unwilling to use it as a learning tool, its value will not be realized and online education activities will cease.\nMethodology: Research data were collected using a questionnaire which distributed through social media and online surveys. Sample study included students of Iranian agricultural universities who used online learning in the second semester of the academic year 2019-2020 (n=480). Internal consistency of the questionnaire was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha (0.87-0.9). Composite Reliability in all constructs is more than 0.7 and average variance extracted for the all constructs was greater than 0.5.\nFindings: Based on the indicators resulting from structural equation modeling, the research model has a good fit (GFI= 0.902, CFI= 0.958, IFI= 0.958, RMSEA= 0.057). Findings show that Students Self-regulation directly affected perceived usefulness (\u03b2 = 0.19) and Perceived ease of use (\u03b2 = 0.55). In addition internet Self-efficacy directly affected Perceived ease of use (\u03b2 = 0.29).

Our session will be structured as follows:\nThe \u201dwhy\u201d: First, we will present our context and the theoretical and empirical basis of establishing a *virtual community of practice* for students and alumni of the MA course. The MA E-LINGO is an international part-time blended-learning teacher education course offered at the University of Education in Freiburg, Germany. Students of the MA typically have very diverse backgrounds concerning their nationality, age, as well as prior academic and professional experience, leading to heterogenous conditions among the learners. Drawing on teacher education research (e.g. Birsak de Jersey 2021), as well as research on *peer learning*, the pursued goals of the established *virtual community of practice* are twofold: First, it offers a support system to the students who are in-service pre-school and primary school English language teachers. Secondly, it exploits the potential of the students\u00b4 diverse backgrounds to foster *peer learning* and enable the exchange of resources, ideas, and experiences among learners along a novice-expert continuum. \nThe \u201chow\u201d: Next, we will explain steps and challenges when conceptualizing and implementing the virtual community of practice on the open-source learning platform ILIAS. Based on prior research and experiences, features of the platform, e.g. blog formats, were implemented to address the requirements of the learners. Following the OER-philosophy, resources are shared under a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license. A monthly newsletter, as well as online meetings support the regular interaction of the community and provide a nurturing ground for the strengthening of social ties.
