Based on current societal transitions and in the context of lifelong learning, both upper secondary education, higher education and vocational training are invited to think about how to enable people, at any stage of their life, to take part in stimulating learning experiences. The expectancy to be present at one core location is getting more and more difficult in this (inter)national society. In addition, the student population is changing and balancing work and family life becomes an important point of priority. Therefore, it is important to make education less dependent on location and time and improve flexibility within the learning trajectory (Lakhal, De Sherbrooke, Bateman, 2017). Next to this, there are growing insights about the need to collaborate.
