Open and flexible learning as a strategy for lifelong
learning
A triple track policy
e-Learning Russia: e-Learning Opportunities Today
Moscow, 3-4 June 2010
Piet Henderikx, Secretary General EADTU
Lifelong learning and European policy
• Bologna process, Bologna Follow Up Group
• Lisbon strategy, Europe 2020
• EUA, Charter of Lifelong Learning
• Leuven Communiqué
Gap between policy and reality, although high
quality models and good practice are in place
The knowledge society in the 21th century
• Knowledge is multiplied every 5-10 years in all fields
• Never seen societal impact and continuous change
• Jobs require more complex competencies
• values, ethical choices and societal coherence become major
challenges
Hence, a new role of universities as driving forces for the knowledge
society and innovation – the knowledge triangle
A sense of urgency is needed:
benchmarks
• European Council (2009): 40% higher
education diploma benchmark (30-40y) and
an average participation of 15% of mature
students (25-64y)
• Leuven Communiqué (2009): Lifelong
learning is a public responsibility, integral part
of national education systems
• EUA: LLL a central part of the mission of
universities and hence of university excellence
Participation rate is far below the benchmark.
Innovative approaches to LLL urgently
necessary
Universities in the 21st century
• universities as nodes of regional and international knowledge
networks: pro-active driving forces in the circulation of knowledge
• apart from research and innovation, three educational tasks:
• Knowledge transmitters to professional and regional
communities (innovative regions)
• Suppliers of formal degree education
• Providers of customized education and training on demand
LLL will permeate the life of the universities as well as the teaching and
learning environment of formal education
A triple track approach to LLL for Europe 2020
• Open knowledge sharing via informal learning channels (open access,
open innovation, open educational resources)
• Open and flexible degree education (open university model)
• Flexible education/training on demand for companies and the public
sector
This triple track approach is capitalizing on current developments and
will make lifelong learning a reality by reaching out to the majority of
people
Track 1: Open access
• open access reviews, open archives, repositories on line
• DRIVER: the European portal for open access
• Berlin Declaration (2007)
• university policy: some universities request their staff to publish in open
access
Universities are aware of the fact that scientific information should be
freely accessible – science should not be a closed circuit
Track 1: Open innovation
• open innovation has advantages over closed innovation
• divergent knowledge, beyond the borders of the own organisation
• universities and networked innovation channels for regional innovation
• network tools that link universities and companies, sme’s, public
services, consultants (relevant, up to date, quick, structuring,
stimulating,…)
• interaction, co-creation of knowledge
• IMEC, Leuven: micro-electronics, (bio)nanotechnology, …
Innovative knowledge produced by universities should be valorised
throughout interactive networks with companies and professional
networks – towards innovative regions

Track 1: Open educational resources
• M.I.T., Open Courseware Consortium
• US, Japan, China
• In Europe: United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain
• OpenLearn (UKOU): the second generation of OER (courses for
independent learning)
• OpenER (OUNL); MORIL, OER-HE (EADTU)
• Objectives OER: widening participation; sharing and re-using content in
university networks, intercampus education, international cooperation;
study orientation/preparation of (international) students; sharing
knowledge with other organisations, companies, sme’s, professional
communities; community education, education for citizenship; profiling
the university
• HEFCE, wikiwijs
•Global Task Force with UNESCO/ICDE; global platform
OER are a major opportunity for informal eduaction and networked
cooperation
Track 1: Towards accessible and interactive universityled platforms for open knowledge sharing and regional
knowledge circulation
• Based on a combination of approaches: open access, open innovation
and open educational resources
• Discipline or project (innovation) based
• Institutional strategy and framework, leadership
• Linked with professional networks, communities, sme’s…
Track 1 is the basis for knowledge circulation in a regional development
and international cooperation context. It is also part of a rich learning
environment for tracks 2 and 3, including the networks with other
organisations and professionals

Track 2: Open and flexible degree education
• The backbone of complex competency development
•Well-structured curricula and long term processes
• Mass-personalisation
• Compensates for backlogs in the participation in higher education
• Often an additional degree
Open and flexible degree education is needed for building complex
competencies
Track 2: Evening classes…
• A flexibility law for higher eduaction (Flanders, Belgium)
• Evening classes, perhaps more accessible, but not flexible
• Not scalable
• Not sustainable
• Blended solutions
Open and flexible degree education is needed for building complex
competencies
Track 2: Open university
• A European concept
• Characteristics:
• Open admission
• Student centred
• Course design by teams
• Multimedia
• Tutoring – study centres
• Assessment
• Quality criteria: e-xcellence
• Partnerships: networked eduaction and virtual mobility
“Open university” is a high quality brand for formal open and flexible
education. It should become more a European brand for high quality
open and distance teaching universities in a partnership between them,
including both types and covering all countries, serving regional lifelong
learning strategies.
Track 2: Flexible education and training on demand
• Innovation, knowledge valorisation, transfer of knowledge
• Spinning off research, innovative ideas
• Demand from companies, sme’s, public services
• Individual and collective needs combined
• Governmental orders: OUNL, UOC
• Cooperation with professional organisations: OUUK
• Interfaces or intermediate structures that create projects across
university departments integrating research, innovation, educationn
and training in a innovative field/project
• The Knowledge Innovation Communities of EIT (see KIC Energy)
• Partnerships
• Task Force EADTU
Universities should valorise research into innovation to the benefit of
society at large, on their own initiative (spin offs) or in cooperation with
companies and sms’s (new products, processes). They contribute to
innovative regions. Demand driven education and training play a core
role.
LRD Research Divisions
Faculties, departments, research groups:
international quality in research,

Contract autonomy &
flexibility incentives
Dual incentive mechanism to maintain a balance
and healthy tension between striving for scientific
excellence and gearing this excellence towards
application and innovation.

Networking
• Learning, a personal process
• Communities of learning facilitate learning and bring learning to a
higher level
• Communities of practice, professional communities (incl. alumni,
company staff,…)
• Circulation of knowledge between both
• Universities as engines of validated knowledge transfer, also by
eduaction and training
• regional and international global networking
Universities should network nationally and internationally for the sake
of innovation and up to date education and training.
Conclusions
• Lifelong learning should be strategically developed along three
tracks, that go hand in hand : open knowledge sharing combining
open access, open innovation, open educational resources), open
and flexible degree education, flexible education on demand
• Universities should define their role with regard to regional and
international development, linking with communities of practice and
professional communities, incl. companies, sme’s and public
services
• Open knowledge sharing leads to a high profile and to international
cooperation in partnerships or “cooperation zones”
