Good overview of the state of online learning in the UK by Neil Mosley. There's no real central theme here, but there's a lot of shuffling of parts and explorations into how to adapt (especially with respect to transnational education (TNE)). It's worth considering some remarks from the Open University's new Vice-Chancellor, David Phoenix, while announcing that it would be abandoning plans to move to the centre of Milton Keynes and begin offering undergraduate courses in person: "What we don't want to do is replicate what everybody else is doing. We want to design facilities for what education might look like in the next 20 years. And I honestly think in the next 20 years there will be less need for people to go and spend three years within a campus-based environment." I agree.
