11. Quadrant 1 : the research questions
How can we
• use existing technologies to dramatically enhance the students’
experiences
• use ‘big data’ to improve students’ learning
• repurpose our physical resources- libraries- lecture theatres- outside
space- laboratories… to meet quite different pedagogies?
• Deploy visions of the future to create transformation in existing
systems?

13. Quadrant 2 : the research questions
How can we
• Keep our visions and values whilst operating quite differently
• Meet the huge untapped need in the world for higher education
• Meet the huge need for flexible learning
• Work in multiple partnerships to achieve more with less

15. Quadrant 3 : the research questions
How can we
• Find the funds and resources for innovation in learning
• ‘Adopt and Adapt’ commercial technologies to meet educational
requirements
• Work where the learners energies and time are…i.e. on line, on
mobile
• Adjust our curricula to meet future career preparation

17. Quadrant 4 : the research questions
How can we
• Involve future learners in re-imagining the future
• Take risks- fail often, fail fast
• Disrupt traditional organisational structures in order to survive and
thrive
