38. • Open (mobile, hybrid ) are just modes of operating not ends in
themselves;
• reducing barriers between your audiences and your content is
scary - but can work out economically – the piracy/obscurity
paradox ;
• work out where the real value of what you do lies
• we offer a unique hub that’s connected and curated
• we offer an intensive collaborative-connected-distributed learning
experience in a rich environment
• we enhance students’ capabilty to evaluate critically, reflectively
contextually - the essentials in an era of information surplus
• we offer high level certification
Lessons we are learning

39. • go where the fish swim (use what is being used), don’t keep
building “the perfect space” (e.g. VLEs, interoperable
platforms ) hoping ‘they will come’;
• don’t assume the fish know about the water – students aren’t
digitally ‘literate’, they are digital natives;
• disruption doesn’t just happen as you intend, ‘Open’ =>
• changed relationships with paticipants (staff, students,
professional practitioners);
• changed models of content generation; changed resource
allocations;
• changed institutional patterns
Lessons we are learning

40. Our next steps
THE 21ST CENTURY UNIVERSITY #DigHum13
• new (business) institutional models and re-purposing/re-
versionning/ unbundling
• radically new pedagogies and radically new relationships with/
offers to, our communities
• the Q is do you try to change, or will you be changed ?
