global trends• authentic and contextualised learning• personalised, self-organised, self-directed• social learning• flexible pedagogies• lifelong and lifewide learning• connected, collaborative, open• recognising finally the positive impact of human

interaction for learningThe future of education (2030 vision): “The overall vision is that personalisation, collaboration and informalisation (informal learning) will be at the core of learning in the future. “ (Redecker, 2014, 12)

What did we want to explore...

How can we support open learners effectively to create the foundations of a vibrant learning community?
