Iron triangle model

Draft

Introduction

“At sector and institutional levels the notion of an iron triangle for education has been posited, linking firstly access, quality and cost (and latterly accessibility, quality and efficiency) in order to suggest means of using open, distance and e-learning (ODeL) and/or OER for widening access to higher education for the same or lower cost without compromising outcomes (Immerwhar et al, 2008; Daniel and Uvalic-Trumbic, 2011; Mulder, 2013)” Lane, 2013
