Abstract:
While we are currently witnessing the renaissance of Tim Berners-Lee's original vision for a Two-Way-Web, many institutions in higher education still develop and maintain landscapes of tools and services that largely ignore the ongoing power-shift towards the individual. This paper argues that these institutional landscapes need to be reorganised and changed into "augmented landscapes", in which the application of individually selected and maintained, multi-purpose tools and services becomes possible. Some implications for individuals and institutions in higher education are discussed.
