“…This concept made diverse data sets from various organizations publicly available, including government spending, research outcomes, archives, surveys, environmental sensing, and museum collections. While sharing data online is not new, the formalization of open data has created a global movement and led to a huge growth in the breadth and depth of data available [13]. However, approaches to connecting open data to learning design are not in mainstream use.…”

“…However, approaches to connecting open data to learning design are not in mainstream use. Detailed thematic analysis was conducted by Tim Coughlan to identify patterns and relationships in open data-based practices that have already emerged [13]. Results and framework presented in his research offer a conceptual starting point to adapt open data to learning design.…”

Research background: Living in a digitalized connected world changes the dynamic of the learning process. Recent issues in the world economy and society have increased the demand for online education drastically. But many enterprises in higher education find themselves unprepared to satisfy this demand effectively because digital learning is a relatively new and under-researched field especially regarding digital instruments and social aspects. For this study we adopted connectivism learning theory proposed by George Siemens in 2005 together with the “old” behaviourism, cognitivism, and constructivism theory put forward by Ertmer and Newby in 1993. Purpose of the article: The study intended to investigate elements of digital learning process using student feedback and to suggest ways to improve the quality of digital higher education based on learning theories applied to digital environment. Methods: A total of 2347 university students participated in this study. Data were collected through an online survey and were analysed with the use of SPSS software. Findings & Value added: The study revealed that students pinpoint three groups of problems in online learning: the process of getting feedback form tutor and peers; the process of concentration and self-management; the technical difficulties of staying connected. The paper studies the theoretical background of problematic areas and proposes tools for their improvement.

“…Open pedagogies, media education and data literacy, need to enable students to become data intermediaries (Davies and Edwards 2012;Magalhaes, Roseira, and Strover 2013), thereby making a positive impact on democracy. The adoption of open data as OER (Atenas andHavemann 2015, 2019;Coughlan 2019) could form a strong basis to raise awareness of socio-political issues, promoting learning through critical thinking, which Brookfield (1987) describes in three phases: (1) determine the hypothesis that guides decisions and actions; (2) verify the accuracy of these assumptions by analysing perspectives, data and information; (3) make informed decisions based on evidence and research.…”

Participation in democracy, in today's digital and datafied society, requires the development of a series of transversal skills, which should be fostered in higher education (HE) through critically oriented pedagogies that interweave technical data skills and practices together with information and media literacies. If students are to navigate the turbulent waters of data and algorithms, then data literacies must be featured in academic development programmes, thereby enabling HE to lead in the development of approaches to understanding and analysing data, in order to foster reflection on how data are constructed and operationalised across societies, and provide opportunities to learn from the analysis of data from a range of sources. The key strategy proposed is to adopt the use of open data as open educational resources in the context of problem-and research-based learning activities. This paper introduces a conceptual analysis including an integrative overview of relevant literature, to provide a landscape perspective to support the development of academic training and curriculum design programmes in HE to contribute to civic participation and to the promotion of social justice.

“…The study investigated how the use of Open Data can be a key to the development of transversal skills, including digital and data literacy. [21] investigated the value and challenges of using Open Data in education through the vision of early adopters of Open Data. The author presents a qualitative descriptive design to understand the perspective of Open Data usage in teaching through interviews.…”

Open Data is considered a key to scientific innovations. These freely available datasets can also be used as a foundation to enhance the digital and data literacies among the younger generation of school pupils. This article presents the design and prototype of an Open Data web interface based on the Enterprise Architecture Oriented Requirements Engineering (EAORE) approach for Open Data usage as an educational resource in Danish public schools. We first systematically review the literature on Open Data use in educational fields and selected 14 research articles with a particular focus on the use of Open Data in the educational domain after prescribing an inclusion/exclusion criteria on 101 research articles identified initially. The review indicates that there is a gap between Open Data opportunities within the educational domain and in exploring the use of Open Data as a source to develop twenty-first-century skills, specifically digital and data literacies among younger school pupils. To fill this gap, we propose an EAORE approach that represents how Enterprise Architecture (EA) models can guide the overall Requirements Engineering (RE) process for the use of Open Data in Danish public schools. Based on these EA models, we designed the prototype of an Open Data web interface for schools.
