Lifelong learning (LLL)
![Page 9: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Lifelong learners who are they?
• Age
• Motivation and interest?
• Origin of motivation…
• Workload
• Family
• Prior education
![Page 10: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is lifelong learning?
• Vague concept
= extra learning activities that people undertake after the end of the initial learning career
![Page 11: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
MuLLLti
We refer to lifelong learners as students in formal Higher Educational Institutions (HEI’s) who often
combine work and study.
![Page 12: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Imagine…
• You being one of the people above,• wanting to earn a degree,• in the institution you are currently
working/teaching.
• What influences your chances off success?

LLL and higher educational institutes (hEI)?
![Page 15: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Increasing demand
• Knowledge society • Initial diploma quickly loses value• Diploma no lifelong guarantee for proper professional
functioning• Shortage of human capital
=> Lifelong learning high on the agenda in various organisations :
![Page 16: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Challenges for HEI
• Face mismatch skills levels and jobs requirements
• Open flexible learning pathways
• A lifelong approach to learning
• Reform themselves in order to adapt
• Be open for cooperation on all levels
![Page 17: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Can Blended Learning help?
![Page 18: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is Blended Learning?
• Variety of definitions, but no consensus
• “a combination of face-to-face learning experiences and on-line learning experiences”
• Describes an instructional rather than learning approach
• Danger to define Blended Learning in this narrow way
![Page 19: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
MuLLLti
“A good blend is a mix of study materials, work forms and learning activities that contribute to the realization of the objectives, which motivate and challenge the students to show the best of themselves.”
(Vandeput, 2011: p.1.11).
![Page 20: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why consider Blended Learning?
1. To increase accessibility to education
2. Can act as catalyst to transform traditional approaches of instruction and teaching
3. Enhance cost and resource effectiveness

Why consider Blended Learning?
1.
Improved learning outcomes should remain the reason to consider BL
(Mitchell and Honore, 2007; Trasler, 2002 in Poon et al. (2010)).

Types of Blends…What learner activity does the technology allow?
![Page 23: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Transforming Blends?
• Four fundamental characteristics of effective learning environments (Roschelle et al., 2000):
(1) Active engagement
(2) Participation in groups
(3) Frequent interaction and feedback
(4) Connections to real world contexts
![Page 24: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hurdles to take…
• ‘The proliferation of superficial Blends’
• ‘A focus on the scope of a Blend’
• ‘Too much consideration to efficiency and productivity at the expense of the goal of effective pedagogy
![Page 25: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Blended Courses can offer solutions
• Increased access
• Increased flexibility
• Suited to educational needs
• Suited to social needs
• Active engagement
• Connection to real life contexts
![Page 26: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
But…
• Sufficient Blended courses have to be offered
• Course design involves a lot of effort (know-how as well as time and costs) for the HEI
• Effective participation of adults in various forms of lifelong learning in Belgium remains low
• Unlikely that HEI’s will be able to redesign any, if enough, courses to increase accessibility for lifelong learners

Can Multicampus education (MCE) help?
![Page 28: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Multicampus Education (MCE)
• Multicampus education within KU Leuven Association is defined as
‘Education that is designed, offered, supported and/or assessed between two or more geographical sites’.
![Page 29: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Multicampus Education (MCE)
• Spearhead of KU Leuven Association
• Institutions can choose to combine resources (staff and infrastructure)
• Several institutions could provide entire curricula (for lifelong learners)
• Cooperation can be national and international

MuLLLti – 3 MCE groups1. Social Work
2. Teacher Education
3. Business Administration
![Page 31: MuLLLti_International Conference Interactive and Competence-Orientated Education](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/5456f3e1b1af9f40378b4d58/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Some implications of BL in MCE
• New teaching roles for lecturers
• Copyright, Creative Commons and Open Educational Resources
• Quality Control

To conclude: possibilities and challenges for all
