The New Landscape of Higher Education: pathways, partnerships & performance


Date :  du 02-12-2015 au 03-12-2015

Lieu :  Londres

Organisation :  Observatory on Borderless Higher Education (OBHE)


Programme : 
The 21st century university is complicated. By some accounts, take international student mobility, globally distributed institutions and MOOCs, higher education has never been more open and entrepreneurial. But at the same time, universities must contend with growing regulation at home as governments grapple with the seemingly impossible formula of widening access, improving quality and lowering cost.

      The 2015 Observatory conference will attempt to make sense of some of this complexity by evaluating the following trends and initiatives:

      - Pathways & Progression
      After more than a decade, have university alliances with pathway companies,
      common in Australia and UK and increasingly elsewhere, been a success? We explore new data on this dynamic market and hear from companies and institutions.

      - Transnational Education
      With more than 20 year of experience with transnational education (TNE) from
      branch campus to partnerships with local institutions, what has been the impact for students, institutions and host countries? We look at case studies around the world, from Beijing to Dubai, involving UK and Australian universities.

      - Multinational Universities
      To compete nationally and globally, the average institution may simply be too small.
      Do mergers offer the opportunity to consolidate precious resources and drive
      efficiency? Does the world need fewer, stronger university brands? We examine the merger between a UK and a US institution, and ask whether this is the start of a trend.

      - Online Learning
      Online learning always promises the earth but has a mixed track record. Is online a good fit for the average student, and how can technology ensure a compelling as well as convenient student experience? MOOCs are free but are they really an alternative to a degree? We debate institutions with long experience in this area and vendors who are convinced online is the next big thing.
