Book Synopsis Cross-Border Higher Education and Quality Assurance by : Maria João Rosa
Download or read book Cross-Border Higher Education and Quality Assurance written by Maria João Rosa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the range of potential measures national quality assurance agencies may have to employ to deal with the new issues caused by Cross Border Higher Education (CBHE). The expansion of CBHE raises quality problems, which are currently assessed differently depending on the countries concerned. This has been exacerbated by the growth of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) which have developed very quickly and can be prone to rogue providers. This book considers the steps that have already been taken to ensure quality as well as those ahead. It is important that the swift growth of CBHE is not just seen as a means to increase the revenues of higher education institutions faced with decreasing public funding but also as a means to keep educational standards high.

Book Synopsis Ensuring Quality in Cross-Border Higher Education by : Staphan Vincent-Lancrin
Download or read book Ensuring Quality in Cross-Border Higher Education written by Staphan Vincent-Lancrin and published by Org. for Economic Cooperation & Development. This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing internationalisation of higher education is one of the most significant trends in higher education in the past decades. International student mobility has more than doubled between 2000 and 2013 - and nearly quadrupled since 1990. Crossborder higher education also increasingly takes different forms, with more and more students choosing to enrol in a foreign tertiary education institution or programme in their home country. In the past decade, many countries have designed explicit internationalisation policies for their higher education systems, acknowledging the benefits of international exposure to prepare students for a globalising economy as well as the many opportunities of cross-border mobility for innovation, improvement and capacity development in higher education and in the economy.

Book Synopsis Governing Cross-Border Higher Education by : Christopher Ziguras
Download or read book Governing Cross-Border Higher Education written by Christopher Ziguras and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governing Cross-Border Higher Education examines the role of governments in relation to three key aspects of international education: student mobility; migration of international students; and transnational provision through collaboration or branch campuses. The research for this book is informed by interviews with key stakeholders in ten countries and extensive engagement with policy makers and international agencies. It analyses the ways in which governments are able to direct or at least influence these cross-border movements in higher education. The book explores key issues that national governments are invariably required to contend with in an increasingly globalised higher education market, as well as the policy options available to them in such a climate. Alongside this, there is analysis into why states adopt particular approaches, with critical assessment of their varying success. Key topics include: the political economy of international higher education; recruiting students; promoting and regulating transnational provision; student migration; governing educational imports; managing the outflow of students; the regulated market. This book will be a valuable and insightful resource for those involved in higher education policy and interested in the globalisation of the higher education market.
Book Synopsis Cross-border Partnerships in Higher Education by : Robin Sakamoto
Download or read book Cross-border Partnerships in Higher Education written by Robin Sakamoto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-02 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-border Partnerships in Higher Education looks beyond student and faculty exchanges to examine the myriad ways international colleges and universities work together as institutions. These partnerships have involved the creation of branch campuses, joint research and technology initiatives, collaboration in strengthening institutional management, testing, faculty development efforts, collaboration in quality assurance, and sharing of technology. Cross-national collaborations are a growing financial and informational resource for universities, and non-Western schools are increasingly taking part. The volume provides an overview of the purposes and types of cross-border collaborations, an analysis of the benefits, and an examination of issues arising from these efforts. A cross-cutting goal is to provide a critical look at the models being employed, the challenges encountered, and the unintended consequences of such collaboration, both positive and negative. The book is intended for scholars and students of international higher education, higher education leaders and practitioners who are charting a course toward greater cross-border collaboration, and leaders in international development assistance organizations that are often asked to support such initiatives.
Book Synopsis Building Cross-border Joint Universities in China by : Yunyun Qin
Download or read book Building Cross-border Joint Universities in China written by Yunyun Qin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the interactions and dynamics between one cross-border joint-university and its social environment in the process of institutional transplantation and organizational adaptation. This study specifically demonstrates the interplays between the joint-university and its key players, including partners, government, market, parents, and the general public. By examining a variety of tensions between the joint-university and its key social actors, this research suggests a concept of "organizational dilemma" to capture the characteristics embedded in cross-border joint-universities in mainland China, and as an analytical model to unpack the tensions giving rise to the dilemmatic feature.

Book Synopsis Global Corruption Report: Education by : Transparency International
Download or read book Global Corruption Report: Education written by Transparency International and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corruption and poor governance are acknowledged as major impediments to realizing the right to education and to reaching the Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education by 2015. Corruption not only distorts access to education, but affects the quality of education and the reliability of research findings. From corruption in the procurement of school resources and nepotism in the hiring of teachers, to the buying and selling of academic titles and the skewing of research results, major corruption risks can be identified at every level of the education and research systems. Conversely, education serves as a means to strengthen personal integrity and is a critical tool to address corruption effectively. The Global Corruption Report (GCR) is Transparency International’s flagship publication, bringing the expertise of the anti-corruption movement to bear on a specific corruption issue or sector. The Global Corruption Report on education consists of more than 70 articles commissioned from experts in the fields of corruption and education, from universities, think-tanks, business, civil society and international organisations. The Global Corruption Report on education and academic research will provide essential analysis for understanding the corruption risks in the sector and highlight the significant work that has already been done in the field to improve governance and educational outcomes. This will be an opportunity to pull together cutting edge knowledge on lessons learnt, innovative tools and solutions that exist in order to fight corruption in the education sector.

Book Synopsis The Paris Framework for Climate Change Capacity Building by : Mizan R Khan
Download or read book The Paris Framework for Climate Change Capacity Building written by Mizan R Khan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Paris Framework for Climate Change Capacity Building pioneers a new era of climate change governance, performing the foundational job of clarifying what is meant by the often ad-hoc, one-off, uncoordinated, ineffective and unsustainable practices of the past decade described as 'capacity building' to address climate change. As an alternative, this book presents a framework on how to build effective and sustainable capacity systems to meaningfully tackle this long-term problem. Such a reframing of capacity building itself requires means of implementation. The authors combine their decades-long experiences in climate negotiations, developing climate solutions, climate activism and peer-reviewed research to chart a realistic roadmap for the implementation of this alternative framework for capacity building. As a result, this book convincingly makes the case that universities, as the highest and sustainable seats of learning and research in the developing countries, should be the central hub of capacity building there. This will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and policy-makers in the areas of climate change and environmental studies.

Book Synopsis Education Across Borders by : James Fegan
Download or read book Education Across Borders written by James Fegan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-21 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights endorsed in 1948 by member states of the United Nations continues to remain very much valid as it provides the solid foundation for most actions and activities that are aimed at guaranteeing the rights of everybody. The rights enunciated in the Declaration are comprehensive and two that are relevant to the content of this book are the right to education and the right to learn. The right to education and the right to learn are known to have been hotly debated by politicians, policy makers, and implementers. Sometimes, the rights in question here have found their way into political parties’ manifestoes, and advocates oftherighttoeducation andtherighttolearnhavebeenquicktobringintojudgment politicians who have not lived up to their promises. Even at that, many member states of the United Nations have taken steps to ensure that access to learning is jealously guarded. For education and lifelong learning remain among the primary forces that can guarantee individual, community and national development, as they had always been from time immemorial. Globally, there has been ample evidence of efforts made by governments to p- mote the widening of access to participation in learning activities. Even so, the literature on the subject of access and participation has not captured suf ciently what has happened across the world in terms of providing access outside national boundaries in the context of globalization and the rapid creation of the knowled- based economies of the 21st century.

Book Synopsis Global Trends, Dynamics, and Imperatives for Strategic Development in Business Education in an Age of Disruption by : Zhuplev, Anatoly
Download or read book Global Trends, Dynamics, and Imperatives for Strategic Development in Business Education in an Age of Disruption written by Zhuplev, Anatoly and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two centuries, the world’s socio-economic progression has gone through profound paradigm changes unfolding along four major development stages. Higher education has been an important part of this process. The accelerated pace of technological, socio-economic, and business innovations as well as ongoing fundamental changes in the real world call for progress in pedagogy. While modern universities have adapted in various degrees through information platforms such as Blackboard or Brightspace, video conferencing, and other technological innovations, they still commonly rely on pedagogical ideas and concepts rooted in a thoroughly pre-modern era rooted in medieval times. Global Trends, Dynamics, and Imperatives for Strategic Development in Business Education in an Age of Disruption explores the genesis of higher education and its contemporary structure and profile in major global regions and discusses key trends, dynamics, drivers, and developmental imperatives currently shaping business education. Covering topics such as business education, online education, and strategic development, this book is essential for teachers, managers, trainers, faculty, administrators, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students involved in studies that include industrial, economic, social, urban, innovation, legal, and policy development.
Book Synopsis University-Community Engagement in the Asia Pacific by : Christopher S. Collins
Download or read book University-Community Engagement in the Asia Pacific written by Christopher S. Collins and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides a framework for understanding academic public good and offers case studies and perspectives as in depth examples of the ways in which colleges and universities engage with the community to produce social benefits. Focusing on the Asia Pacific region, the authors discuss examples of engagement that produce consciousness, partnerships, and services that are broadly available to the public and enhance the progress of society. The authors argue that, unlike an individual degree, these are public benefits that should be focused upon and featured more readily so that the breadth of university benefits come to be better understood.
