  6. Discussion: HE Actors & Stakeholders Society, culture & economy Higher education providers Employers, business & industry Students Academics

  7. Discussion: Quality • What does ‘quality’ mean? Learning identity (personal learning): awareness of quality • Who is responsible, and how do we engage, for quality in HE? Learning communities (social learning): engagement with quality • What approaches should there be towards achieving quality? Lifelong learning (cognitive learning): understanding quality

  8. Discussion: Lifelong Learning • Awareness of lifelong learning • Articulating the diverse, competing perspectives amongst HE actors and stakeholders = learning identities • Engagement with lifelong learning • Developments, responsibilities and actions based upon discussion/dialogue of the spectrum of awareness = learning communities • Understanding lifelong learning • Designing future directions stemming from the access, development and synthesis of knowledge = lifelong learning

  9. Case study: Exploring Creativity • Australian HE context: increased focus upon graduate capabilities and attributes • Learning identity: gathering conceptions of creativity from HE stakeholders = researching awareness/personal learning • Learning communities: analysing how learning and teaching practices develop creativity = researching engagement/social learning • Lifelong learning: identifying best practices and highlighting opportunities for enhancing higher-order learning = researching understanding/cognitive learning

  10. Conclusion • Three universal challenges within a changing world: knowing, acting and being (Barnett and Coates 2005)
