Prof Senteni’s bio Professor Alain Senteni is currently the Director of Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University (HBMSU), in Dubai (UAE), where he was the first appointed Dean of the School of e-Education (SEED) from 2009 to 2014. Previously he had been the Director of the Virtual Centre for Innovative Learning Technologies (VCILT) and the Chairman of the Lifelong Learning Cluster (LLC) of the University of Mauritius from 2001 to 2008. Prof Alain received an Engineering Degree in Computer Science (1969), followed by a PhD (1989), and an HDR (1995) in Artificial Intelligence in Education from the National Polytechnics Institute (INPT) in Toulouse (France). His academic career started in Canada as a professor of Educational Technology at the Faculty of Education, University of Montreal, from 1989 to 1996. Professor Senteni is an active member of the Technical Committee on Education of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). He chaired the Education Commission of the World Information Technology Forum (WITFOR) in Botswana (2005), Ethiopia (2007), Vietnam (2009), and India (2012). He also chaired the e-Learning Excellence in the Middle-East Conference organized in Dubai by HBMSU, every yearfrom 2009 to 2014. Prof Senteni’s work and research interests focus on the integration of ICTs in educational systems of developing countries, and mor eand more on innovation, creativity, and smart entrepreneurship. He was awarded in September 2011 an Honorary Doctorate in Education from the University of Sherbrooke (Canada) for his contribution to international development and education in developing countries.

In my talk, I will address some of these issues:
motivations for reforming education [WHY ?]
education, from craft to industry [HOW?] new tools to increase access to education for all
new tools to increase learning opportunities
teaching, a profession in mutation
the new horizon of research in education
[WHAT WILL COME NEXT ?]

WHY?

an increased access to education is urgently
needed
In 2014, an estimated 8.5 M children still remain excluded from school
[Arab World Learning Barometer, 2014]
demography
Economic pressures and new models of education are bringing unprecedented competition to the traditional models of tertiary education.
The global drive to increase the number of students participating in undergraduate education is placing pressure across the system.

into finished goods]

Increasing diversity of student profiles
In the US, less than half of the students can be considered full time students.
Students who can attend campus five days a week nine-to-five, are now a minority.

Learning Analytics
39
learning analytics is about collecting traces that learners leave behind and
using those traces to improve learning

Learning analytics provide big data to test measure learning activity continuously,
at run time, not a posteriori.

Like other design professionals teachers have to work out creative and evidence-based ways of improving what they do. Every day, teachers design and test new ways of teaching, using learning technology to help their students. By representing and communicating their best ideas as structured pedagogical patterns, teachers could develop this vital professional knowledge collectively. From this unique perspective on the nature of teaching, Diana Laurillard argues that a twenty-first century education system needs teachers who work collaboratively to design effective and innovative teaching.

Design-based research is based on synergetic relations between researching, designing, and engineering. Design-based research actively involves the researchers through scientific processes of discovery, exploration, confirmation, and dissemination.
