1. Innovating our Way to
a Utopian HE Future
An overview of changes brought about by technology
and innovation in HE
AQUA-T Net Annual Conference 2013

2. Are there grounds
for innovation?
will education be the next industry disrupted by technology after
entertainment, electronics, publishing, etc....
www.efquel.org
4. Visions of HE
mass education powers a world-
leading service industry
(agenda for growth and jobs, ET2020)
student population reflects the
diversity of our societies
(London Communique)
contribute to sustainable
development, peace, wellbeing and
the realization of human rights
(UNESCO World Conference on HE)
www.efquel.org
6. The facts
• Growth and Jobs are both declining – not
increasing
• UN Millenium Development Goals are
missed
• We‘re a long way from EU ‚knowledge
economy‘ targets:
– 75% of the 20-64 year-olds to be employed
– 3% of the EU's GDP to be invested in R&D
– at least 40% of 30-34–year-olds completing
third level education
www.efquel.org
7. The facts
The EQUNET 2011 report found that access
across the EHEA is inequitable.
Countries so wide divergences on: Lower socioeconomic backgrounds
- gender balance are:
- net entry rates - less likely to attend Higher
- entry via alternative routes Education
- participation based on occupational - likely to choose different courses of
/ educational background study
- income gap of students - more likely to work during studies
- Ratios of foreign students - far less likely to have a mobility
experience

8. A realistic solution?
„we commit to securing the highest possible.
level of public funding for higher education „
Bucharest Ministerial Declaration
www.efquel.org
12. Failure to Include Students
• Net private loss: $150,000
• Net public loss: $100,000
per student not
attending HE
A solution to anaemic growth?

13. Failure to train for
the Labour Market
PARIS 2005
Barcelona 2012

London 2011
14. Overall Result
The ‚knowledge-society‘
is understaffed
a generation is lost
to unemployment, inefficency &
lack of student focus by HE

17. Tools for
Disruptive Innovation

18. innovation - the OU model
Remove Entry Requirements
result:
• Currently 260000+ students
• 70% are able to work during studies, 5% are
disabled
www.efquel.org
access
19. innovation – open textbooks
Create licence-free textbooks
• Average spent by US student on textbooks
per year $981
• Approx cost to produce textbook: $120000
- $150000 (estimates flat-world knowledge)
• SB 1052 / 1053 (California) will create
open source textbooks, free or $20
hardcopy
• Estimated savings (overall): up to $ 1
billion
www.efquel.org participation
20. innovation – OERu
Credentialise Open Learning
• 15 anchor
universities, supported by
UNESCO and CoL
• First pilots are underway right
now
www.efquel.org completion
21. innovation - MOOCs
automate reproducable teaching
• Piloted by Stanford ‚Intro to AI‘ – 100000+
students
• MITx – limited certification for MOOC including
virtual lab-work
• EDx – MIT + Harvard $60 million investment
www.efquel.org
22. social entrepreneurship:
education
• 55000 social enterprises in the UK –
generating 27 billion GBP per year (2005)
• 15% of the market is in education
• approx. equivalent to total yearly spend on
HE of Austria
'a social enterprise is a business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are
principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than
being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners' (UK
DTI, 2002).

• Traditionally part of a programme
Now.....
• Enrolled in only an online course / module
• Work, profession etc
• Not enrolled at all (OCW / non-formal
learning)
www.efquel.org
29. Studies OER Module at...
• Traditionally, at own institution
Now:
• allied institution, e.g. Erasmus

schools
• No institution at all – e.g. Non-formal /
informal learning

30. Requests assessment at
• Traditionally, at own institution
Now:
• Assessment from guest institution
• Assessment from private assessment
provider
• Assessment of competences
Also:
• Peer assessment
www.efquel.org
31. Uses credit at
• Traditionally, at own institution
Now:
• Anywhere that TRUSTS the institutions
which participated in the previous steps
• Quality frameworks
• Certification frameworks
• Mutial recognition agreements
• etc
www.efquel.org
33. Open Education means
Increased access
Increased participation
Increased completion
at lower cost
and Higher Quality
by putting learners back in control
of their own learning
