From June 22 to June 24, 2021, Hasso Plattner Institute, Potsdam, hosted the seventh European MOOC Stakeholder Summit (EMOOCs 2021) together with the eighth ACM Learning@Scale Conference. Due to the COVID-19 situation, the conference was held fully online. The boost in digital education worldwide as a result of the pandemic was also one of the main topics of this year’s EMOOCs. All institutions of learning have been forced to transform and redesign their educational methods, moving from traditional models to hybrid or completely online models at scale. The learnings, derived from practical experience and research, have been explored in EMOOCs 2021 in six tracks and additional workshops, covering various aspects of this field. In this publication, we present papers from the conference’s Experience Track, the Policy Track, the Business Track, the International Track, and the Workshops.

After decades of turbulence and acute crises in recent years, how can we build a better future for Higher Education? Thoughtfully edited by Laura Czerniewicz and Catherine Cronin, this rich and diverse collection by academics and professionals from across 17 countries and many disciplines offers a variety of answers to this question. It addresses the need to set new values for universities, trapped today in narratives dominated by financial incentives and performance indicators, and examines those “wicked” problems which need multiple solutions, resolutions, experiments, and imaginaries. This mix of new and well-established voices provides hopeful new ways of thinking about Higher Educat...

L’esperienza del testo scritto non si consuma nel vuoto. Essa è mediata da un insieme di tecnologie e dispositivi. In questo senso l’ecosistema del libro è andato ridefinendosi nel tempo: dalle tavolette di argilla dell’età del bronzo al papiro dell’antico Egitto, dal codice d’epoca romana alla stampa a caratteri mobili, fino allo schermo elettronico dei giorni nostri. Oggi, in uno scenario fortemente condizionato dalle tecnologie digitali, siamo testimoni di un nuovo passaggio, per molti versi cruciale. La lettura diventa ipertestuale, aumentata, connessa. Ma anche sfuggente e immemore. Che impatto avrà tutto questo sulla performance cognitiva degli individui e sulla cultura delle società? Una riflessione critica intorno alle perdite e ai guadagni del libro elettronico, alle nuove pratiche di lettura in Rete, alle sfide etiche per un umanesimo postmediale.
Quando decide di lasciare il lavoro dipendente, Annalisa Monfreda si avventura in una conversazione inedita con il suo estratto conto. Si accorge che per lungo tempo ha considerato il “non parlare di soldi” una qualità morale, senza mai domandarsi quali conseguenze avesse. Seguendo il filo della propria relazione incompiuta con i soldi, ne individua le radici nella sua storia familiare e in un modello socio-economico che, da una parte, monetizza il nostro valore e, dall’altra, ci educa a tacere l’argomento denaro. Attraverso i microfoni del podcast “Rame”, l’autrice si fa raccontare da oltre cento persone la loro storia finanziaria più intima. Scopre che ognuna prova vergogna...
È possibile organizzare le informazioni senza tentare di manipolare chi le utilizzerà? Ed è possibile decifrarle senza essere manipolati? Probabilmente no, perché ogni classificazione implica delle scelte, ma questo libro aiuta a ridurre al minimo entrambi i rischi, svelandoci i concetti, i valori, le istituzioni e le professioni che regolano il mondo dell'informazione e della documentazione.
