The career of an idea... Where does that leave us?
The traditional model: Exclusively for few chosen.
The modern (massification) model: Standard model for masses.
The post-modern model: Individualised and diversified HE (Rip and Mix Approach/ Patchwork)
Consequences of Connected LearningModern
(Massification) Education Model Postmodern
Adult Learning Model
Defined degrees Short and patchwork study cycles
Study in a degree framework Study according needs and interestCurriculum is oriented to professions No clear curriculum, but certifiation needs
Expert led/ Prof. led knowledge transfer Students are peersExam driven/ Certification bound Learning experience in the foreground
Certifiation of knowledge/ achievements Assessment of competencesInstitution bound De-institutionalised
Institution‘s reputation determines value Experience + practice value gain importance
Clear timebound structure of degrees Flexibilisation
Disciplins are structure giving Inter-disciplinary/ trans-disciplinary
Disciplin oriented: canon of methods and knowledge
Problem oriented
Academic status, traditions, clothing IndividualisedDifferentiation against „non-higher education“ Continuum through ed.-sectors + levels
The path of illusion…
With online collaboration and availability of (OE)resources
learning will improve!
Challenges Ahead...
Challenge 1: Guidance and Inclusiveness Guidance in potentially unstructured learning
context Participation requires autonomous and self-
directed learning competencesChallenge 2: Learning Goals and Recognition Informal, non-formal learning vs. Documentation
and recgnition of learning achievements
