Emergent Development and the Virtual University

The main point of this paper is a bit elusive, but quite important. As the abstract says, "an organisation that must cope with continual change, such as a virtual university, requires a development methodology based on completely different assumptions. One such methodology, emergent development, is described." The "assumptions" here are centered around the "creation" model of development - you build it (or buy it, or contract it), and it's 'done'. On the emergent development model, it's never done - whatever you are working with, be it a course or learning management system, exists in a constant state of evaluation and redevelopment.
