Neil Selwyn: Personalised Guidance and Support for Learning … What Could Possibly be the Problem?
 Personalised learning has emerged as one of the key themes of technology-based education over the 2010s. Of course, the desire to make education more individually driven and ‘learner centered’ is a long-standing goal of progressive education, but it also fits with other values and agendas. As a counterpoint to many of the other papers presented at the EDEN 2018 workshop, this talk will consider some of the less-voiced limitations of technology-based personalised learning. These include an increased pressure on individuals to take responsibility for the success (and failure) of their education; the limitations of algorithmic decision making; the diminished role of teachers and other ‘experts’; and the humanistic and emotional aspects of no longer learning ‘together’ with other people – if only in terms of common content and experiences. The talk considers what implications these issues have for the future design and implementation of technology- based education, and finishes by considering a recurring tension – i.e. if we are all immersed in our own personalized learning journey what implications does this have for education as a social, supportive and shared endeavor?
Neil Selwyn is a professor in the Faculty of Education, Monash University. His research and teaching focuses on the place of digital media in everyday life, and the sociology of technology (non)use in educational settings. Read more about him here.
Sanna Järvelä: Socially Shared Regulation in Learning – Progress for Learning Success in 21st century
 Being able to strategically regulate one’s own learning and that of others is a vital and increasingly important 21st century skill. Those skills include: (a) ability to adapt to new situations and challenges and engage in complex problem solving, (b) social skills necessary for communicating and collaborating productively and proficiently, (c) socio-emotional skills and empathy necessary for tackling challenging problems, and (d) ability to take initiative set goals, and monitor self and others. These competencies are the central to research on self-regulated learning and regulation of learning in collaborative contexts. Schools and education are tasked with preparing students with skills to self-regulate their learning and teamwork especially in situations that challenge them cognitively and socio-emotionally. In my research group, we have been especially interested in how groups, and individuals in groups, can be supported to engage in, sustain, and productively regulate collaborative processes. In this presentation I will introduce the theoretical progress of research on regulated learning, in terms of self-, co-, and socially shared regulation of learning. I will review our recent empirical findings of regulated learning in computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) context and discuss about practical implications of this line of research.
Sanna Järvelä, PhD, is a professor in the field of learning and educational technology and a head of theLearning and Educational Technology Research Unit (LET) in the Department of Educational Sciences, University of Oulu. Her main research interest deal with learning processes in technology-enhanced learning, self-regulated learning and computer supported collaborative learning. Read more about her here.
Workshop Sneak Peek
Open Education Passport Multiplier Event
 OEPass deals with the topic of micro-credentials, the most timely and relevant concept in higher education and adult learning. Don’t miss the opportunity to be updated in this important topic by experts in the field!
You are kindly invited to participate in the workshop introducing the concept and use of the Learning Passport, the initiative of the Open Education Passport (OEPass) project.
The workshop will explain how the Learning Passport facilitates the recognition of open education credentials in Europe. The workshop embedded in the 10th EDEN Research Workshop will take place on 25 October 2018.
Higher Ed is changing in nature. A new way of thinking is evolving, shaping a new paradigm of higher education based on modularization. In the centre of this paradigm, the vision of personalized patchwork pathways of higher learning, qualifications and certification is manifested. The workshop shows how this vision evolves, and analyses its consequences for higher education institutions, outlining also the challenges of our current practice. It will be followed by an introduction to the Learning Passport and concluded with a practice session about the use of this new tool. More information will follow on the Research Workshop website. Research Workshop participants can register to the OEPass workshop here.
Road to Bruges Workshop – Research networking for the next EDEN Annual Conference
This workshop is devoted to finding links to develop joint international researches with the aim of presenting results at the forthcoming EDEN Annual Conference which will be held in Bruges, from 16th to 19th of June 2019. The intensive workshop introduces participants to build a network of interested members with specific knowledge in order to develop a joint proposal for the EDEN Annual Conference
Participants will gain new insight into the upcoming research themes creating small working groups organising participants by research interests, delivering successful paper proposals. We will propose a specific speed dating session. If a meeting has worked (the interest is reciprocal) a group with involved participants will be created. The aim of this workshop is to create new networks between the participants and to ensure that these newly created research groups can present a successful proposal at the next EDEN event.
Social Events
Welcome Reception
The Welcome Reception will be held in the UOC main building, a few steps walk from the Cosmocaixa Museum, where the Research Workshop will take place. It offers an informal setting to meet and chat with your fellow conference delegates while enjoying a delicious evening snack.
Conference Dinner
Come and explore an evening inside Barcelona’s largest Gothic palace: Palau Requesens, where the Conference Dinner will be held after a short guided tour of the palace.

The palace was built in the 13th century above the city wall of Barcelona, and is named after the Requesens family, who once owned it.
  
Conference Venue
The conference venue is the Cosmocaixa Museum, a great example of modernist architecture, built 1904 -1909 which offers its visitors fantastic insight into the world of science. The building is just a few steps walk from the UOC main building, where the Welcome Reception will be held.
