The next section identifies seven issues associated with the reuse and sharing of resources. These sections focus on educational design, the need for standards, and on the culture and organization that would be necessary in institutions (and across institutions) if reuse were to become a reality.

Thematic analysis of survey and interview data show that teachers engaged regularly in emotional support of students, and a pedagogy of care was discernible in the ways teachers described seeking out signals that the students' needs were being met online. However, technology mediated communication made this more difficult in online teaching than face-toface, increasing teachers' emotional labour. Teachers' efforts to achieve interaction with, and feedback from,

This workshop, DesignLAK17, provides the opportunity to explore the issues and opportunities arising from the use of analytics in scaled assessment design. There are opportunities for new paradigms of learning design to exploit the distinctive characteristics and potentials of analytics, trace data and newer kinds of sensory data available on digital platforms, and to transform assessment in the process. However, notions of what is and is not good quality assessment design need to be reconsidered, and new metrics for capturing quality are required to unleash these anticipated potentials of data analytics. This symposium and workshop will focus on what might be appropriate quality metrics and indicators for analytics-based assessment design in scaled learning. It aims to build a community of interest around the topic, to share perspectives, and to generate design and research ideas

This paper explores self-regulated learning in the workplace analysing narrative descriptions of informal learning across a range of knowledge work roles in the finance industry (n=30), The study examines behaviour of workers who score high and low for three particular sub-processes of SRL: task interest and value, task strategies and selfevaluation. These sub-processes were previously identified as important predictors of workplace learning behaviour in this cohort. This qualitative study complements the earlier quantitative study by providing insight into how professionals self-regulate their learning. The main finding is that high self-regulator's form a long-term, overview of their learning and development, whereas low self-regulators focus on the immediate task. The findings highlight the complex nature of self-regulation of learning in the workplace.

Members met on 3 occasions in July and September with substantial input in between. In a period of 8 weeks the Think Tank described our current position through: A comprehensive review of the OU’s current activity in the digital space, arranged in a thematic way. This has identified over 300 ways in which the OU is working digitally in its learning and research activities, captured on the Digital Think Tank sharepoint site. A detailed paper where members of the Think Tank discusses 10 broad areas of current work and how these might fit into a digital future. These papers are presented, arranged under the headings of platform, people and partnerships. This paper which summarises the Open University's position on potential directions in developing a glocal digital strategy, with expanded positions aimed at both short term and longe...
