Web 2.0 – is it new?
Some history (mainly from UK, EADTU and Frameworks 3 and 4)
![Page 3: Bacsich presentation-valladolid-2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459b1c6af795953128b4e9e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

The 1990s UK paradigm for “e-CPD” from universities
“Conservative constructivism” (JANUS, Café Mondial, UKOU, EPSRC IGDS, SHU, Middlesex)
Content delivered by web/VLEInteraction with tutor AND communication
between students carried out in a social spaceAnd later, group working also
Computer conferencing = CMCSystems like FirstClass – later the group tools
within WebCT and Blackboard
![Page 4: Bacsich presentation-valladolid-2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459b1c6af795953128b4e9e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

FirstClass features
• Personal pages• Synchronous (Real-time chat , but also quasi-
synchronous (“Who’s online”)• Non-academic interactions – e.g. café
(students only)• Remind you of any modern systems?
![Page 5: Bacsich presentation-valladolid-2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459b1c6af795953128b4e9e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Web 2.0 systems for “business”
• Blogs• Wikis• E-Portfolios = CVs (administration)
• Social networking? – Yes, in the sense of CMC – so not new
• Podcasting???– Evidence against, including from students
![Page 6: Bacsich presentation-valladolid-2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459b1c6af795953128b4e9e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Blogs for business
• A one-many publishing format, with limited ability to comment
• Useful for project management in an “open” tradition
• See for example the UK Higher Education Academy blog systems to manage the Pathfinder Programme - http://elearning.heacademy.ac.uk/weblogs/pathfinder/
![Page 7: Bacsich presentation-valladolid-2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459b1c6af795953128b4e9e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Wikis for business
• Gets one back to how the web used to be – anyone remember Microsoft’s IIS?
• Very useful for multiple authors collaborating when each has a defined focus and overlap is limited
• Examples – Re.ViCa (and there are others) - http://www.virtualcampuses.eu/index.php/Main_Page
![Page 8: Bacsich presentation-valladolid-2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459b1c6af795953128b4e9e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Axiom (after Ehrmann)
CPD should use worldware – tools for learning which are also tools for business
Supplementary: and ideally tools whose underlying intellectual processes are not new

Re.ViCa makes a review of Virtual Campuses all over Europe. By
comparing European and non-European initiatives, we create lessons learned and critical success factors to enable institutions to set up a Virtual
Campus to maximise their performance

Main Outputs
• wiki – the heart of the project – including 29 in-depth country reports and 30 mini-reports– 9 detailed case studies including Universidad
Politécnica de Madrid – Inventory of “interesting” Programmes– Taxonomy– Resources
• Three key meetings with International Advisory Committee
• Virtual Campus Manual with guidelines, best-practice, recommendations – and Critical Success Factors

Step 1
•Create Country reports, based on Country template : sources OECD, other European Projects, wikipedia, literature, desktop research
Step 2
•Indicate Virtual Campus Initiatives
Step 3
•Internal Evaluation by project partners
•External Evaluation by experts
Results
•21 European Country report and 8 non- European Country reports
•30 mini Country reports
•Lessons Learnt: What are the trends we ‘noticed’ in the 29 Country reports
•Comparison EU – non EU
Country Reports

Key Lessons Learned
Language is a key issue in development of Virtual Campus initiatives
HE institutions operating on multi campus ‐basis often more likely to adopt VC strategies
No common understanding about the term “Virtual Campus” or even “Virtual University”
Line between “Virtual Campus” and more traditional campus activities is blurred
![Page 20: Bacsich presentation-valladolid-2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459b1c6af795953128b4e9e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Key Lessons Learned
Long term impact and sustainability of ‐national programmes and initiatives now questionable
In Europe, HE sector focus more on inclusion, lifelong learning and adult learning contributes to increase virtual learning opportunities
What lessons can be learned for CPD providers?
![Page 21: Bacsich presentation-valladolid-2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459b1c6af795953128b4e9e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Key Lessons Learned
Not enough to be advanced and experienced – need to check beyond borders for strategic adaptation
Europe HEIs focus on content and service more then on technological facilities and platforms
International competition a driving force for change and innovation
Quality Assurance focus on traditional learning - lack of a QA system focused on virtual initiatives
For-Profit Virtual Campus initiatives opt for areas where there is a ready market for online courses
![Page 22: Bacsich presentation-valladolid-2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062614/5459b1c6af795953128b4e9e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Re.ViCa Success Factors for Virtual Campuses
A critical success factor is a factor whose presence is necessary for an organisation to fulfill its mission - in other words, if it is not present then its absence will cause organisational and/or mission failure. “ “

Some Critical and Key Success Factors for CPD
• Critical – applies to all types of providers• Leadership: Leaders can make effective decisions with
e-learning implications• Management: Style is appropriate to the mix of
business and educational activities• Relationships: Effective methods of achieving credibility
with government and public agencies• Key – applies particularly to CPD providers?
• Pricing: Prices are competitive yet sustainable• Context: Each proposed offering is analysed in context
of existing providers and stakeholders• Learning: Provider can rapidly learn lessons from
offerings, learners, the market, stakeholders etc

Future: beyond September
Continuation of wiki.......• Agreement between partners
to maintain, update and edit the wiki for at least one year
• Look for additional funding & projects
• Further partnerships (networks & individual contributors)
• Expand scope: commercial providers, colleges, schools...?
