Challenges
External • Funding cuts, staff redundancies, course closures
and a changing market • Demographic trends: ageing society and an
increasingly diverse student population • Demand outstrips supply • Growing expectation and need for more flexible
learning opportunities • ‘Knowledge economy’ discourse mystifies the
fundamentals (Facer, 2009)

Challenges
Internal – ‘force multipliers’ • Conservative pedagogical cultures - makes
alternatives difficult to conceptualise • Managerialism - financial data as the basis for
planning • Short-termism - concentration on current contexts
limits long-term development • Inflexibility - in assessment, certification,
administration, employment and budgeting • Narrow social base - UK visual arts are less diverse
than most disciplines (NALN, 2005)

Trends in HE
Demystification, Globalisation, Disaggregation • Traditional model based on scarcity • Economic limits of existing model • Conflation of research with teaching quality • Cultural Change: Tackling TINA and Entropy • The Rhetoric of Crisis The Open Education Environment • Understanding ‘Open’ & ‘Closed’ Education • The Open Education Continuum (OU, OER, MOOCs…) • Public Good and Public Goods – The Emerging Political
Economy of an Open Public Education System

Richard Stacy ...Why social media is a dangerous concept ”
In fact, the more engaging social media becomes, the less scale it delivers. Think about it. We all know that social media is essentially conversational and personalised. But conversations only work with a small group of people: the more people you add to a conversation (the more scale you add to it), the less effective it becomes.

Imaginings
Create ‘Living Laboratories’ • Assessment, accreditation, evidencing, quality
assurance, evidence Open Ed Collaborative Enterprises
• Tactic to overcome TINA and entropy, ECTS Feedback into redesign of art education Technology can enable e.g. Badges. But drivers (and obstacles) are social, cultural, educational, economic and political.
