Abstract

As a result of the widescale move towards online teaching it is noticeable that parts of our sector have become more productive and adaptive, there has been a disruption of institutional structures that were based on outdated models, on hierarchy and these are now shifting towards ‘heterarchy’, a model that respects relative autonomy but is integrated with internal cooperation and shared culture. Collectively our students and staff are seizing this opportunity as a means to reshape how education is facilitated and as a result students are gaining a greater sense of ownership over their own learning, gaining greater ownership over the manner in which they model risk and facilitate their own education.
