THE OPEN DEGREE MOVEMENT
Factors Driving the Open Degree Movement
To make the entire sum of human knowledge available to everyone, anywhere, at any time — for free!
Factors Driving the Open Degree Movement
What is the world going to do with the estimated one billion people in developing countries who want and can benefit from higher education?
What will happen if they can’t get it?
Barriers to Open Degrees
Content and courseware are a small part of total cost
Degrees require construction of a social context
Award of credit is difficultDegree awarding authority must be
identifiedThe coherent/context problem across
international and cultural boundaries
