The higher education sector is being disrupted through the effect
that technological innovations have on the educational market. As
digital and mobile technologies are developing further, higher
education institutions must embrace these developments to meet the
needs of their learners and to not become irrelevant. In higher
education, disruptive effects are mainly visible on a
program/product level, with an increasing number of programs
including some element of online education. Disruptive effects also
become evident on a pedagogical level, where student engagement,
collaboration and social learning, gamification and serious games,
competency-based learning, teacher training, and overcoming
geosocial divides are high on the agenda. This book considers the
effect of online elements and their design on university business
models and internationalization, course design, massive open online
courses (MOOCs), and the scalability of online programs. It also
explores how higher education institutions across the globe respond
and react to the challenges and opportunities evolving in online
education.
Universities find themselves in dynamic change. They are confronted
with growing expectations from their stakeholders, increasing
international competition, and new technological challenges.
Featuring insights and in-depth case studies from leading
researchers and university decision makers from around the world,
this book argues that institutions of higher education, in order to
be successful, have to actively reflect on circumstances, visions,
and strategies to master the future. Drawing from their experiences
across a diverse array of institutions in Europe, Asia, and the
Americas, the authors explore the pressures on today's universities
and the opportunities for excelling in the contest for resources.
They discuss operational issues, such as strategic management, IT
governance, leadership development, and entrepreneurial culture,
and broader concerns, such as the roles and responsibilities of
universities in promoting technology transfer and economic and
social development. The result is a resource that not only reveals
and analyzes universities from an organizational perspective, but
presents best practice models and concrete inspiration for
management and policymaking.
