Abstract
In response to changing student populations and more competition among
institutions, higher education is changing in a number of ways. One involves
gradually offering students more choices in ways which "stretch the mold" of
campus-based participation and traditional approaches to teaching and learning. In
this paper, the Stretching the Mold Model is described and validated. A major
characteristic of stretching the mold is the lack of policy steering or stimulating it;
suggestions are made for such policy in order to make the evolution more efficient
and effective.
