arrangements

Free/open educational resources created and reused by

students across multiple institutions, disciplines, nations,

supplemented by original materials created for them

Learning

activities

Traditional, essays,

assignments, tests, some

groupwork within classroom

Traditional assignment

approaches transferred to

more open technologies;

increasing collaboration in

learning activities; still largely

confined to institutional and

classroom boundaries

Open, flexible learning activities that focus on creating

room for student creativity; social networking outside

traditional boundaries of discipline, institution, nation


classroom boundaries

Institutional

arrangements

Campus-based with

fixed boundaries between

institutions; teaching,

assessment, and

accreditation provided by

one institution

Increasing (also international)

collaboration between

universities;

still one-to-one affiliation

between students and

universities

Loose institutional affiliations and relations; entry of

new institutions that provide higher education services;

regional and institutional boundaries breakdown

Student

behaviourLargely passive absorptive

Passive to active, emerging

sense

of ownership of the

education process

Active, strong sense of ownership of own education, co-

creation of resources and opportunities, active choice

Technology

E-learning enabled through

an electronic learning

management system and

limited to participation

within one institution

E-learning collaborations

involving other universities,

largely within the confines of

learning management systems

but integrating other

applications

E-learning driven from the perspective of personal

distributed learning environments; consisting of a

portfolio of applications
