Will Open Education Take Root in the Traditional HE Sector?

When we use the term ‘open education’ we don’t all mean the same thing.  Prof. Haywood will consider the facets of open-ness and the extent to which each is or can be addressed by traditional higher education institutions.  How might HEIs become more open?  One of the most significant open education developments has been the MOOC, but what societal and individual needs is this form of education satisfying?  Can the traditional HE-MOOC dyad offer a significant step forward in the modernisation of European higher education or offer something to the skills development agenda, inside and beyond universities?
