2023 Open Distance and e-Learning Conference

2023 Open Distance and e-Learning Hybrid Conference
Pre-conference workshops: 14 August 2023
Conference: 15-17 August 2023

CONFERENCE

ODeL in the Global South: Opportunities in times of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA)

The term "uncertainty" will likely be mentioned in the response when you ask any 21st-century citizen what they believe to be the defining aspect of modern society.

While people and institutions generally dislike uncertainty because it places obstacles in the way of planning and shrinks comfort zones, uncertainty has a positive side too: It encourages creativity, flexibility, and a wider view of possibilities.

Uncertainty has the ability to bring forth positive outcomes, and the University of South Africa (Unisa) has incorporated these possibilities into the theme it chose for the 2023 Open Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) Hybrid Conference.

Taking place from 15 to 17 August 2023 both virtually and in-person at Emperors Palace, near OR Tambo International Airport in Gauteng, the conference explores the theme, "ODeL in the Global South: Opportunities in times of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA)".

Given the scope and unpredictability of institutional and societal change in recent years, the conference theme is likely to resonate with ODeL scholars and researchers in South Africa, the rest of Africa, and beyond.

Join keynote speakers and a host of local and international panellists as they debate this important theme.

- Romeela Mohee, Professor and Higher Education Commissioner of Mauritius
- George Siemens, Professor and Director of the Center for Change and Complexity in Learning (C3L) at the University of South Australia, also a Professor of Practice in Psychology at the University of Texas, Arlington, administering the Master of Science in Learning Analytics
- Jenny Glennie, Founding Director, South African Institute for Distance Education (SAIDE), South Africa
- Paul Tiyambe Zeleza, Associate Provost and North Star Distinguished Professor at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, United States of America

This academic conference, which will be preceded by pre-conference workshops on 14 August 2023, will give established and upcoming ODeL scholars and researchers the opportunity to explore innovative approaches to conducting teaching, learning, research, and community engagement in a complex and frequently turbulent environment.

Scholars interested in presenting papers at the Unisa 2023 ODeL Hybrid Conference should take note of the timelines for submitting proposals. There are separate deadlines for proposals for the main conference, the pre-conference workshops, and the ODeL Postgraduate Student Consortium. Details of the key dates and a list of possible topics to consider can be found on the website. Speakers and delegates from all over the world will be attending, making the conference an excellent vehicle for
networking in the ODeL field.

Your hosts are Unisa's Research, Postgraduate Studies, Innovation and Commercialisation Portfolio and the UNESCO Chair on Open Distance Learning.

We look forward to your contribution as, together, we explore the opportunities that lie ahead for ODeL in the Global South in times of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.

Why should you attend this conference?

This conference is suited to all academic practitioners, scholars, researchers, and students who are interested in open, distance, online, and e-Learning.

CALL

Today, the societies, cultures, and the places in which we live and work are increasingly intricate phenomena. Globalization eradicates spatial boundaries to business; gentrification involves social and political pressure; pandemics are never site specific or confined to the past. Architecture and urban design are global endeavors; sustainability requires material and political action; and patterns of criminality are not placed bound. Similarly, the need for education and housing are universal; and land rights are essential legal tools for First Nations and communities everywhere.

Within this mode of thinking, when we discuss sustainability we must consider local planning and global politics. When we speak about smart cities, we are obliged to consider cyber security and civil rights. When we discuss law and human rights, we cannot ignore economic or social policy. Equally, when we think about food production and consumption, we must consider transportation costs, public health, and more.

–

In reading livability as an aggregate of forces, this conference does not see 'the city' as primarily a physical and designed entity. On the contrary, it posits 'the livable city' as a 'construct' involving a plethora of agendas and disciplines.

As an inherently interdisciplinary conference, Livable Cities - London explores cities as a material and immaterial question - as an interplay of forces including, but not limited to: politics, sociological trends, cultural tendencies, media representations, economic policy, design and planning methods, the provision of public services, and more.

By juxtaposing, comparing and sharing work in various fields, it is expected that a broader and richer picture will emerge regarding what makes the places we inhabit more, or less, livable.

CALL:

Today, education is often defined as hybrid. Hybrid delivery in-class and online. Mixed theories of teaching and practice. Cross-disciplinary courses and programs. Alternative modes of enquiry. Community and student engagement. Concepts of explorative learning. Multicultural perspectives on subjects. The combined arts and sciences of STEAM – to name but a few. The same hybridity is true of life and work. We value a work-life balance. We seek self fulfilment in professional contexts. We see education as continual through professional development and life-long learning.

In this context, education plays many roles, and serves many people and purposes. It takes on many forms. In embracing this hybridity, the Learning. Life. Work. conference seeks to explore the numerous ways education morphs and blurs - through varied methodologies across a multitude of disciplines, geographies, and mind sets. As such it welcomes perspectives from the arts and humanities, design and media studies, science and technology, education and training, health and the social sciences.

In this diversity, the event reflects the place and institution in which it is set: the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. A city famous for its counter culture, history of gay rights, its Hispanic heritage, Asian diaspora and its cutting edge arts scene. It is a place renowned for alternative models of thought. Home to the first free public school on California, San Francisco has also spearheaded various education initiatives in United States. It implemented the Indian Education Program in the 1970s, supporting Native American communities. It led in the adaption of the Beacon Initiative to use schools for community needs, and it is home to one of the largest publicly funded university systems in the United States.

Welcoming delegates from locations across the world to consider the future hybridities of teaching and learning, we aim to share perspectives and disseminate best practices. We look to educators, students, artists, theorists, and industry professionals. We hope to share initiatives, programs, and projects.
