GROUP 3

2. What are the possible implications of
MOOCs, OERs and other types of informal
learning for the ‘traditional’ higher
education system?
Question

3. Context: Changes in society, and in (labour market) needs
HEIs respond to changes, with
- Integration of non-formal learning (OER/MOOCs)
- Shorter programmes/degrees
- More flexible pathways
- New forms of recognition
- Unbundeling / re-bundeling
- Platform
- Repositories
- Course/training in teams
- Guidance and support services to teachers and institutions (on how
to integrate, share and use MOOCs/OER)
Continued (trend) scenario

4. Flexible education programmes
- More (continuous) skills (vocational, applied sciences and
academia)
- Multi-channel programmes
- Learner centred approach
Continued (trend) scenario (contd.)
