Advancement of Online Learning at DOBA Business School on the Basis of the OOFAT Model

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present an example of good practice in comprehensive and theoretically and professionally grounded planning and implementation of further development of online learning at DOBA Business School. We decided for the OOFAT model as the starting point. Based on the gap between the achieved and target (desired) levels of subcategories of flexibility and openness of the OOFAT model and taking into account the trends in e-learning and institutional and legal formal constraints, we have prepared five sets of concrete activities to advance the online learning model by 2025. These are: mobile learning, learning analytics, multimedia and interactive learning materials, open education, including open educational resources, and recognition (accreditation). The revised model of online learning will represent a shift towards the third (semantic) generation of e-learning, which will place DOBA Business School close to the leading educational institutions in the field of technology-enhanced education at the global level.
