– OPEN LEARNING

Adina Gray · 2015

This presentation discusses the question of preventing academic misconduct when PLAR (Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition) is offered through distance education. PLAR is the practice of awarding students ’ academic credit on the basis of their learning from work and life experiences and is strongly associated with the social justice mandate of “open ” institutions. Academic misconduct is a growing issue in distance education in general, with students reportedly being more likely to cheat and plagarise than in traditional classrooms. When PLAR is done through distance, the potential exists for students to submit false claims concerning their experiential learning. The presentation describes and compares procedures used to detect and prevent false PLAR learning claims at three North American distance education institutions. The two main types of procedures used are requiring students to submit documentary evidence with a verifiable paper trail and/or participate in an in-depth interview about learning claims. Preliminary data from students at one institution indicated that their preference was for the interview procedure, which they actively enjoyed. Students at this institution also reported good acceptance of their PLAR credits by employers and other post-secondary institutions. The authors call for further, in-depth research on the topic of academic misconduct in

Open Research and Open Learning

Trevor Williams, Roy, Mackness, Jenny · Dialnet (Universidad de la Rioja) · 2013

This paper describes the authors’ journeys from traditionally closed to open research, and the development of a theoretical framework, and some practical tools and a 3D graphic palette, for designers, teachers and learners to use, to describe the dynamics of learning in the new open learning courses and events, including MOOCs and other interactive learning spaces. Using a narrative approach, the authors draw on their recent research experience to explore the influences on this shift and how it aligns with their increasing work in emergent learning. The shift has itself been an emergent process. Changes in the both open research and open learning are based on ‘social software’, which changes the relationship between public and private space, and formal and informal forms of speech and writing. This creates a new hybrid, or ‘mashup’ between open research and open learning, which goes beyond ‘open scholarship’.

When correctly presented, organised and funded, open learning has a valuable contribution to make to any radiographer's educational aspirations, and is already proving its worth both for HDCR and other areas of study. Once used to the method, students settle well and are successful and motivated.
