Paradox 3
While the benefits of higher
education have been quantified we
know very little about the tangible
return on investment for the
subset of off-campus online /
distance learners
![Page 28: Digital Higher Education and its Potential for the Innovation of European Higher Education Systems](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030310/58f0bde91a28ab47028b45dd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“There is also almost no understanding of
the private and social benefits of distance
and online education in comparison with
those of face-to-face education” (Rumble, 2014,
p.208).

Recommendation
6. “National funding frameworks should create
incentives, especially in the context of new
forms of performance-based funding, for
higher education institutions to open up
education, to develop more flexible
modes of delivery and to diversify their
student population.”

2. What narratives are being told?
“An avalanche is coming. It’s hard of course, to
say exactly when. It may be sooner than we think.
Certainly there is no better time than now to seek
to understand what lies ahead for higher education
– and to prepare” (p.8)

and the revolution ahead. Institute for Public Policy Research. London.

2. What narratives are being told?
“An educational change is neither natural nor
normal, constant nor common as it involves a
deeper struggle over who will win control of
the curriculum” (Evans, 1996, p.25).
