Universities:
Find themselves in a fragile state.
Are being asked to do more for less ...from meeting the needs of a larger and more diverse student population to withstanding increased competition.
Current ways of working are unsustainable.

Technology is a driver for change.
We should harness it as a solution, a tool, for the way we want universities to support learning and research.

Teaching is really about facilitating people coming to understand different, difficult and new ideas.
All the iterative processes that can help this happen – can be supported and developed through technology.
... activities that do not replace the need for real life teaching but enhance how it happens.

We need to move beyond the idea that an education is something that is provided for us, and toward the idea that an education is something that we create for ourselves.
