Some picks from current chatter...
The Substitution Model
• Open Education will substitute traditional higher
education
The Enrichment Model
• Open Education is used to enrich traditional
higher education
The Lifelong Learning Model
• Open Education will be used to offer lifelong
learning opportunities
From
education
to
learning

The career of an idea in higher
Education ...
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)
Modern
(Massification) Education Model
Postmodern
HIGHER EDUCATION Model
Defined degrees Short and patchwork study cycles
Study in a degree framework Study according needs and interest
Curriculum is oriented to professions No clear curriculum, but certifiation needs
Expert led/ Prof. led knowledge transfer Students are peers
Exam driven/ Certification bound Learning experience in the foreground
Certifiation of knowledge/ achievements Assessment of competences
Institution 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 Individualised
Differentiation against „non-higher education“ Continuum through ed.-sectors + levels
CHANGING CULTURES IN
HIGHER EDUCATION
Post-Secondary Education STRUCTURE
• Vocational Education and Training
• Higher Education
• Lifelong Learning
• Formal
• Informal
What happens if you
open the cages?
A Thought Experiment...
A school beginner in September 2016...
• ... finishes 2020 primary school
• ... gradutaes from high school in 2028
• ... receives his bachelor degree in 2031
• ... and his Master in 2033
• ...starts to work...
