The document discusses trends in blended learning and the future of education. It notes that a new generation of students who grew up with technology will have different expectations than current students. Blended learning, using a virtual learning environment (VLE) combined with in-person teaching, will be important. However, the current VLE (LUVLE) may not meet future needs as it was designed for different purposes and lacks flexibility. Going forward, a VLE should actively engage both teachers and students, track progress, and facilitate collaboration using modern technologies like wireless networks and mobile devices. The best path is to choose a VLE that prioritizes user-friendliness, flexibility and motivation over any single platform.
The document summarizes the key findings and development plan ideas from a case study conducted at the University of Strathclyde on embedding knowledge exchange. Interviews with 26 participants from academics to professional services staff confirmed that knowledge exchange is embedded in the university's strategy.

The development plan proposes improving systems to capture all types of knowledge exchange, representing information systems in strategic forums, and making knowledge exchange an explicit part of staff development. It also recommends continuous improvement of processes like CRM and establishing online registration systems.
