• All courses subject to peer review
• All programs subject to normal five year
  reviews
• All professional programs are accredited
• All courses tutored by at least someone with
  an M.A

•   Anyone in – over 18
•   Continuous enrolment in most programs
•   Prior Learning Assessment program
•   Learning Support Structures
•   Home/group and on line study
The Difference
• Fewer faculty – faculty as content specialists
• University ownership of the course IP
• Focus on outcomes not inputs
• Scalability
• Lower per unit costs
• Focus on student as the learner, their context, and
  their community.
• Focus on IT rather than traditional infrastructure
The Resistance

•   Competition
•   International resistance
•   New international laws
•   Quality “red herring”
•   The Ranking Industry and its impact
•   The new/old competition
The Future

• Re evaluation of the value chain in post secondary
  environment must happen – there will be new
  structures
• For example - Best first year
• Digital environments – i.e. OER’s, Learning
  Analytics, social software etc.
