Abstract
The evolution of education from supply driven (what the institution offers) towards demand driven (what the student wants) needs to be understood in the larger context of societal, economic, political, scientific and technological developments. Supply driven education is presently reinforced by the small set of available “technologies.” The central ideas of new educational theorists focusing on demand driven education seem to get realized thanks to a combination of emerging information technology (IT) provisions and new didactic insights into their ise. Examples of IT-based demand driven educational provisions at the Open university of the Netherlands (OuN) where this type of education is being developed and implemented, are presented.Keywords
