Contributor Veen, W. (promotor) Faculty Technology, Policy and Management Department Multi Actor Systems Date 2009-12-10 Abstract Higher education is directly and indirectly subjected to pressures of diminishing subsidies, increasing student populations, heterogeneity, shorter knowledge and product lifecycles, labour demands, proliferation of technology, and new educational approaches and practices. Higher education must change to cope with these pressures. This study is aimed at how higher education might cope with the current and upcoming pressures of technology on education. Developments that have had or have an influence in the shaping process of higher education were addressed, a quantitative study on growth patterns and users’ uses from 289 virtual learning environments was conducted, and elaboration on educational technology with the gained insights was carried out to deliver a picture of the future educational practice, which we would like to call Learning mall. The study ends with seven key principles as a ‘management-set’ to start organising discussions and arrangements for a facilitating university to be at a vanguard position.
