Abstract

This work examines the proposition that open learning practices will reduce barriers to participation in continuing education. The analysis is based on the potential contributions of open learning practices to a new educational order outlined in the work of Morrison (1995) and the reports of an Australian Senate Employment, Education and Training References Committee (1995). It explores some implications of these practices for providers, teachers and students and concludes with the argument that, while those practices should not be opposed, open learning advocates must broaden their agendas to address questions of access ‐ what, how and why.
