It's time to call for fresh ideas because "unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so" (Noam Chomsky). Without imagination, we can go nowhere. Initium, Invent & Craft. #OpenUniversity #Disrupt5 #UniShatsk

In some places on the planet, even cows are sacred. The power of collaboration and shared vision to turn ideas into tangible reality. “A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality” (Yoko Ono, Grapefruit, 1964) #OpenUniversity #Disrupt5 #UniShatsk

UniShatsk will be the world’s first truly open university, completely free of charge, with no admission requirements, and beyond e-learning. Empowering minds, shaping futures, without borders. A dream you dream together is reality. #PL-UA-BY #OpenUniversity #Disrupt5 #UniShatsk

An open university is not the same as a distance learning university. The term implies inclusivity, free access, and no admission requirements. Yet most open universities, including in Europe, still impose fees or entry criteria. #OpenUniversity #Disrupt5 #UniShatsk #HigherEd

One of the main problems with people without an educational technology background is that they look at technology from the wrong perspective. It's often easy to support their back-end systems rather than the learning process. #edtech #startups #disrupt5

AI is not just another dumb system. Even then, it still requires users to be trained. What kind of "intelligent system" requires training and doesn't adapt to the needs of educators and students? #AI #DumbSystem #dumbAI #AI #Education #Innovation #disrupt5

What is being done in relation to the revolutionary, democratic and constitutional standard of universal, compulsory and free education at all levels? "We won't pay anything. It's all free" (Raul Seixas) #disrupt5 #ICESCR

As AI advances, we will no longer need professors. Universities will be obsolete. And we will no longer need students. Let's show them how some old dogs still know the best tricks. #AI #innovation #weaksignals #trends #thinkaboutthis #disrupt5

Innovation doesn't have to be something completely new or started by early adopters, innovators or startups. A creative idea has to be socially useful, something that solves current and future social challenges. #disrupt5

The focus of educational technology in Europe is on optimising the use of the internet to replace outdated and ineffective education systems. Technology is not an end in itself and what is important, as Nokia coined, "it's not the technology, it's what you do with it"... #disrupt5

What is done in Europe, related to the revolutionary, democratic and constitutional standard of universal, compulsory and free of charge education at all levels? The European reality includes higher education totally free for some, partially or fully paid for others. #disrupt5

Providing free university education and livelihoods to a few thousand war refugees, asylum seekers and displaced people is a decent and civilised gesture. What kind of education and livelihood can we provide if we don't reach out to all national and community citizens? #disrupt5

Disruption in education it’s about redefining patterns in a much more complex world of knowledge than that from which most current educational models were designed. #disrupt5 #weaksignals #trends #freeuniversity #thinkaboutthis

Weak signals represent a small number of people who have the courage to think differently or do things a little differently from almost everyone else. Faced with such uncertainty, it’s time to ask for fresh ideas. #disrupt5 #weaksignals #trends #freeuniversity #thinkaboutthis

Higher education course offerings do not reflect what the market needs. Many companies now have their own universities and institutes that offer a wide range of certificates, degrees and diplomas. #disrupt5 #university #education #work #jobs #career

There is not a single example in history where people who believed in the new model were not labelled naive when faced with a paradigm shift. This has not stopped the world from changing. #weaksignals #paradigmshift #innovation #technology #edtech #fakeedtech #startup #disrupt5

Due to the digital deluge, we can't see what's in front of us and we can't distinguish between what's meaningful and what's not. “Information is no longer the power; deep and undivided attention is the power” (Richard Watson) #weaksignals #disrupt5

Weak signals need time to mature, when what was curiosity becomes the next big trend. It is time for fresh ideas because “unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so” (Noam Chomsky). #WeakSignals #disrupt5

Administration and #education are always surrounded by #fads, people trying to reinvent the wheel and get attention. No technology improved student outcomes, and #reengineering disappeared as quickly as it appeared. #Edtech #FakeEdtech #AI #HE #startup #technology #disrupt5

#Innovation doesn't have to be entirely new or started by early adopters; it can be a recombination of old ideas, a new approach to something that already exists, or an imitation of something that exists elsewhere. It must be socially useful and solve social challenges. #disrupt5
