EADTU 25th ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE 2012
’The role of open and flexible education in European higher education systems for 2020: new models, new markets, new media’’
The Open University of Cyprus will be hosting EADTU's Annual
Conference in Paphos, on 27-28 th September 2012, under the EU
Presidency of Cyprus.
This years' scope
Educational models are changing increasingly. More universities are
embracing open and flexible learning and as a consequence, the creation
of international student markets is becoming a reality. Formal learning
nowadays becomes integrated with non-/informal learning and educational
innovation is now both financially, technology and socially driven.
Worldwide there is an awareness of the emerging role of open education
en open educational resources to support educational transformation.
For example, by offering better quality education to significantly
larger numbers of students.
The role of open and flexible learning is becoming more important for these new models, new markets and new media.
This is the scope of EADTU’s 25th Anniversary conference under the EU-Presidency of Cyprus in which we address topics like:
- how open and flexible education is organised as an organic part of European higher education systems
- implementing new organisational and educational models within
frontrunner institutions, capitalizing on new opportunities created by
ICT in education - meeting new markets and learning needs, i.e. at the postgraduate
level or related to knowledge alliances with the public and private
sector, on top of the mission of widening participation - developing open media like open educational resources, YouTube, ITunes U, broadcasting as platforms for open knowledge sharing
- developing European open and flexible higher education in a 2020 perspective
The Conference will in this context present most recent results of
task forces and projects with regard to quality assurance in e-learning
(presentation of the new version of the e-xcellence guidelines,
including criteria for the quality of OER and social media, networked
curricula involving strategic partnerships between universities
(presentation of guidelines for networked programmes, a compendium of
good practices, a toolbox for inter-institutional collaboration), on
line or virtual mobility (a portal to support mobility, in the
perspective of the new Erasmus for All programme), knowledge sharing
with business (interfaces to meet the needs of the private and public
sector; training for entrepreneurship in starting companies), etc.
This years' themes
- Open media
- New markets
- Networked Curricula: University Curricula and Academic Networks
- Virtual mobility
- Open Educational Resources
- University strategies and business models
- University-business cooperation, knowledge circulation, entrepreneurship, virtual interfaces

About OUC

About Cyprus
Cyprus is the third largest island in
the Mediterranean. With a history over 10,000 years, the island has seen
civilizations come and go and the likes of everyone from Alexander the
Great to Cleopatra stake their claim here. Aphrodite made her home on
Cyprus and travelers throughout antiquity came here just to pay her
tribute.
Today Cyprus is a modern country that combines European culture
with ancient enchantment. One of the benefits of being a Mediterranean
island is the plentiful sunshine throughout the years. In fact, Cyprus
epitomizes the ideal weather of the region with sunny days and fine
temperatures almost every day. Extremes of temperatures are rare,
meaning Cyprus has something to offer every month of the year, whether
it's swimming (as late as November) or enjoying cultural sites and
festivals (all year long).
Despite its small size, Cyprus has been at the crossroads of
history for millennia. The island's strategic location has been a major
factor in shaping its history throughout the centuries and, in recent
years, its development into a centre for international business. World
academic and scientific associations and organisations find that its
location is no less strategic today - add to that, its unique
combination of world class hotels, resorts and Mediterranean charm you
have the perfect setting for holding productive meetings and conferences
in a relaxed environment.
