The freaks innovators identified
Answer to the common majority
1) Content development takes a huge effort, much
like an authorship. Staff used to handle all
alone, difficult in development of net courses.
1) Teamwork, professional developers, ample time
and resources for production of core content
also, build content repositories and reuse
quality content.
2) Teachers have problems handling more than
20-30 students on the net.
2) Crises to the High Ed-Quality Reform and the
individual feedback requirements. Should be able
to handle 300! Tracking and automated
instructional design of content necessary.
3) What will happen to the net based content and
course solutions? Who is the owner? Whats in
it for the SME?
3) The Digital Rights issue has to be resolved,
and DRM implemented. (May be also new High
Ed-market and branding strategy.)

High Ed-Quality Reform
New demands to staff and students

• Credit points, Bachelor and Master level courses
• Internationalization and student exchange
• Improved academic counselling
• Increased demands to the individual student

• Instructions activating the students
• Regular feedback
• New and varied evaluation
• Individual, academic counselling
• Continuous observation of results

Our challenge -We need to accomplish solutions
that will facilitate the teacher's ability to
follow up students individually in large groups,
and the possibility to provide for flexible
studies cost effectively.

• the reform is impossible to accomplish without a
  considerable commitment to web-based education
