4 1 General objective of FUTURA project
To identify trends and innovations in online and
blended provision of Higher Education, in order to
support distance learning institutions in making
informed decisions for the future about online
teaching methodology.

The phases of FUTURA can best be explained by telling a
story…

The tree in the picture represents a distance education institution. One day, the tree embarked on a journey of discovery…
Phase 1: Establishing the baseline 7
![Page 8: FUTURA - An Exploratory Study](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022414/5886f9661a28ab4e3a8b5147/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
eLearn Center Shaping learning. Rethinking teaching
We started by looking at what was happening close to home: • Identification of the challenges and
opportunities facing distance education institutions
• Literature review and desk research into current practices in online HE
Phase 1: Establishing the baseline 8

Then the sea came up to meet the tree, and whispered in its ear. The tree began to imagine all the kinds of other life forms that might exist out there…
Phase 2: Imagining the future 9
![Page 10: FUTURA - An Exploratory Study](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022414/5886f9661a28ab4e3a8b5147/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

We imagined the future: • Scenario planning focus group session
with 25 e-learning experts at UOC
• Consultations with 10 international experts, using “blue-ocean” thinking
Phase 2: Imagining the future 10

And so the tree boarded a little boat and went on a journey of discovery around the world…
11 Phase 3: Identifying examples of innovative practice
![Page 12: FUTURA - An Exploratory Study](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022414/5886f9661a28ab4e3a8b5147/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
eLearn Center Shaping learning. Rethinking teaching
We looked for examples of innovative practices: • Discovery of 100+ examples from
different institutions worldwide described as being innovative in their own contexts
• (We recognised that what is innovative in one context may not be innovative in another.)
Phase 3: Identifying examples of innovative practice 12

Phase 4: Selection of inspirational, transferable practices
The tree stopped to reflect on
its journey…

eLearn Center Shaping learning. Rethinking teaching
We carried out an in-depth analysis of the examples: • Identification of 30 inspiring and
potentially transferable initiatives • Triangulation of the examples with the
expert input and the literature
Phase 4: Selection of inspirational, transferable practices 14

Phase 5: Synthesis of findings
The tree found there were five
main ideas emerging out of all the new things it had
seen…

Phase 5: Synthesis of findings 16
We discovered that all the examples could be characterised by the following IDEAS: • Intelligent use of technologies • Distributed responsibility for delivery • Engaging pedagogy • Agile curriculum • Situated learning

Phase 6: Report on next-generation pedagogy for onine education
The tree disseminated these ideas
within its community of practice, and new seeds began to appear...
