Postmodern, Individualised, Disaggregated

The career of an idea... Where does that leave us?

The traditional model: Exclusively for few chosen.

The modern (massification) model: Standard model for masses.

The post-modern model: Individualised and diversified HE (Rip and Mix Approach/ Patchwork)

Consequences of Connected LearningModern

(Massification) Education Model Postmodern

Adult Learning Model

Defined degrees Short and patchwork study cycles

Study in a degree framework Study according needs and interestCurriculum is oriented to professions No clear curriculum, but certifiation needs

Expert led/ Prof. led knowledge transfer Students are peersExam driven/ Certification bound Learning experience in the foreground

Certifiation of knowledge/ achievements Assessment of competencesInstitution bound De-institutionalised

Institution‘s reputation determines value Experience + practice value gain importance

Clear timebound structure of degrees Flexibilisation

Disciplins are structure giving Inter-disciplinary/ trans-disciplinary

Disciplin oriented: canon of methods and knowledge

Problem oriented

Academic status, traditions, clothing IndividualisedDifferentiation against „non-higher education“ Continuum through ed.-sectors + levels

The path of illusion…

With online collaboration and availability of (OE)resources

learning will improve!

Challenges Ahead...

Challenge 1: Guidance and Inclusiveness Guidance in potentially unstructured learning

context Participation requires autonomous and self-

directed learning competencesChallenge 2: Learning Goals and Recognition Informal, non-formal learning vs. Documentation

and recgnition of learning achievements
