  • Openness is a fundamental value underlying significant changes in society and is a prerequisite to changes institutions of higher education need to make in order to remain relevant to the society in which they exist”
  • Exploring the complex “supersystem” of higher education, Wiley and Hilton (2009) state that there is an alarming disconnect between higher education and broader society or “supersystem”. The major six disconnections, according to Wiley and Hilton (2009, pp.1-5) are the move from analog to digital, the move from tethered to mobile, from isolated to connected, from generic to personal from consumers to creators and from closed to open
  • There is an increase in free sharing “on a scale never before seen” (Wiley & Hilton, 2009, p.3)

  • Despite the dramatic and pervasiveness of the impact of these changes; “higher education has largely ignored these changes in its supersystem” (Wiley & Hilton, 2009, 3). While higher education had the monopoly on knowledge production in eras past, it no longer does. Not only has higher education lost its monopoly in knowledge production, but higher education has also lost its monopoly on “access to teachers, tutors, and others who could answer student questions and support them academically in their learning” (Wiley & Hilton, 2009, p.6).
  • In the light of the above, Wiley and Hilton (2009, p.8) state that higher education’s only possible response is to increase connectedness, personalization, participation, and openness.
  • “Of these four, a significant increase in openness is the most pressing priority for higher education because a culture of openness is a prerequisite to affordable, large-scale progress in the other three areas”.
