This document presents information on open learning environments in Adult Basic Education in The Netherlands. It focuses on the role of teacher, tutorial, progress, and evaluation methods. Several task groups address the four dimensions in a learning environment: accommodation, time, infrastructural, and social psychological. Through independent learning, the student has to take the responsibility for his learning in a very open and aware manner. During the learning process, he must be aware of the way in which he learns, what he learns, and why he learns. For educators, their way of thinking has to be reversed. Instead of suppliers who offer what they think is necessary, they have to become educators who listen to the demands so that their teaching is flexible and individual. (ASK)
