Summary/Abstract: It is said that higher education is undergoing an era of disruptive development, and likewise as the music and film industry has done. The development of open, free, and flexible education, with the use of OERs (Open Educational Resources), and MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) challenge higher education dramatically. However, unfortunately the way teaching and learning happens is undergoing infinitesimal shifts. Likewise, the way how quality and success factors are presented, and measured are still under the same umbrella, as in the so called traditional paradigm, e.g. linear offered, delivered, assessed, certified.
