New agents and technologies are diversifying the traditional mechanisms
to produce and distribute knowledge.
Disintermediation can be defined as ‘cutting out the middleman’ in the
production / distribution of knowledge.

university (a new learning ecosystem).
Theoretical references
Boyer (1990) • Categories of scholarship : discovery, teaching, application & integration of knowledge.
a
Gibbons et al. (1994) • Mode 1 > closed, objective, restricted to scientific communities and discipline-based.
b
Gibbons et al. (1994) • Mode 2 > open, interconnected, context dependent, not restricted to scientific communities, networked.
Methodology

Qualitative & exploratory methodology (‘purposeful sample’ of website).
Exploration of platforms that addressed the Boyer’s dimensions.
a
‘Open’ or ‘closed’ platforms were identified (Gibbons). 4 combinations of O/C practices of production and distribution of knowledge.

Conclusions

Disintermediation is a way to conceptualize the current phase of transition that higher education institutions are facing in digital era.

2
A transitions rather than a dichotomy O/C. Information flows across disciplines between experts & non-experts communities.
3
Knowledge broker negotiates with an intermediary and facilitates connections between info, people and contexts. New profiles & skills.
Design and exploit new channels and strategies for knowledge production/distribution. New visibility/accessibility knowledge.
