"Quality education for all is
a foundation for social
cohesion and an open
society.
…
It is essential for personal,
social and professional
development as well as for
employability over the
lifetime."
5.1 Lifelong learning – open learning
opportunities
Providers of all ‘formally’ […] quality
assured higher education […] are
encouraged to use ECTS with the same
transparent mechanisms [for open
learning offers].
This will greatly facilitate transition
between different modes of learning,
recognition and transfer, while increasing
learner and stakeholder confidence in the
outcomes of open learning.
• The Commission will…
• (4) Develop and roll out a digital readiness model to help HEIs, their staff and students implement digital learning strategies and exploit the potential of state-of-the-art technology, including learning analytics. This will be accompanied by guidance on open education initiatives.

And the future…?
Are MOOCs/ blended/ online learning just
decoration? Are distance/open universities ruining the
MOOC?(or the other way around?)
Will we ever have degrees based on a
set of separate MOOCS/ courses?
Or do we get new 'types' of degrees
instead?
What's the open education
"business model"?
Open learning –really for all?
(and the role of governments)
