POSSIBLE FUTURE SCENARIO 1
Teaching Performance will be calculated based on reuse of their teaching materials
Teacher Pay will be determined by‘fame’ of their products.
POSSIBLE FUTURE SCENARIO I1
Teaching Performance will include an ‘efficiency’ component:
How much material did you reuse and not have to create?
EMERGENCE OF NON-TRADITIONAL PROVIDERS
‘Hybrid Providers’mergers of HEIs and
Technology companies collaborating on course provision, e.g. Coursera
Teaching & Examination

qualifications using licensed content from
universities
RPL Universitiesinstitutions offering
recognition, credentialisation and
add-on teaching for RPL
Exam-Only Companies

(incl. automated assessment)
Publishersproviding not only books
but online learning communities
POSSIBLE FUTURE SCENARIOS
QA Agencies will become sprawling education regulators
QA Agencies will become increasingly irrelevant
MILLS ARE ON THE RISE

FAKEthe lowest level of Qualityis institutionalised fraud
POSSIBLE FUTURE SCENARIO
Quality Assurance will become a branch of law enforcement
INCREASED DEMAND FOR RECOGNITION

FUTURE SCENARIO
Students Expect HE
to provide portable
and recognisable
qualifications
Quality Assurance ofQualifications will
become widespread(recognition & portability as elements
of quality)
Marketing of Qualifications will become linked to Consumer Law
OPEN DATA & QUALITYTECHNOLOGY GIVES RISE TO NEW EXPECTATIONS FROM THE QUALITY ECOSYSTEM
Assure Minimal Quality
Standards
Offer Various Ranking
Methodologies
Allow for User Review and Rating
Give Access to Data
POSSIBLE FUTURE SCENARIO
Internal Quality Assurance will become focused on metrics
External Quality Assurance will becomeabout verifying metrics
