A bit late in the day by blog standards (it happened over a month ago) but I just wanted to post this link to a key note by Martin Bean, (VC of the OU) from the HEA conference in July. Titled ‘Great expectations, not a choice but a reality’, Martin covers a lot of ground discussing the role of technologies in defining the student experience. Highlights include (at 35’) Martin talking about the rise of MOOcs and OERs and the wider implications for the HE sector (44’). The video can be found here.
