Abstract
The paper presents a case study which analyses the different steps of the processes involved in the transition from a traditional system to a blended and flexible one, extended over different space and time dimensions; a flexible system open to the needs of adult students and aimed at transforming the concept of face-to-face learning into participation in learning.
The key word of this transformation is “equality” in both its acceptations:
- equality in the meaning of equal opportunities; in other words equity supported by technological instruments and digital environments to create the right conditions and opportunities to access higher education for people who are generally excluded from it;
- e-quality as an idea related to the “quality” which the digital and technological aspect can lend to the teaching/learning process by implementing situations, occasions and environments that foster discussion and active participation in the building of knowledge.
