OOFHEC2018 – The online, open and flexible higher education conference

Blended and online learning: Changing the educational landscape. In European universities three areas of provision emerge: degree education as the backbone of a university; continuing education and continuous professional development, which probably will exceed the number of degree students and open education which emerged mainly by the MOOC movement. Universities attempts policies and strategies to define their profile in these areas, which can be complementary to each other and to some extent interwoven. Digital models of teaching and learning can solve problems higher education is facing today, and will offer new opportunities for teaching and learning in each of these areas.
