This article from Stephen Downes offers a lot of food for thought in terms of openness in
education and what the future will bring, including some references to the polytechnic
model through internships and apprenticeships as enablers of collaborative co-creation.
A LOOK AT THE FUTURE OF OPEN EDUCATIONAL

The following concluding remarks particularly resonate with me as I reflect on learning
design in the open:
"Students today face the challenge of complex and rapidly changing work and study
environments. These challenges, and the affordances enabled by new technologies, are
driving a new generation of learning resources. These resources will be dynamic and
adaptive. They will be created at the point of need by AI-assisted learning
design<https://www.ijoer.org/glossary/learning-design/> systems and will draw on
constantly changing requirements and data sources. These resources will not teach by means
of content transmission, but rather, will require that students interact with both the
data and algorithms, modifying the resource and creating solutions to real-world
challenges. They will work using the same tools as people already working in the field,
adapting to changes in the tool alongside the experts, working with and alongside them in
a cooperative open working environment."
