Who does higher education work for?

Recent education headlines express the dilemma currently facing UK higher education. The Council for the Defence of British Universities launched last week promoting a vision of education for education’s sake, with universities as centres of learning in danger of being shackled by short-term performance measures and funding models. On the same day, the Engineers Employers’ Federation (EEF) called for a closer alignment of the education and training system – including higher education – with the needs of the labour market and employers.

A Plan for the Modern College

By . As is commonly known, American higher education depends for its existence on the cheap labor of adjunct faculty members. According to recent reports, adjuncts make up as much as 70 percent of college instructors. The average yearly salary for those adjuncts is around $25,000, just above the poverty rate for a family of four, so these members of the professoriate, having put in their years working on advanced degrees while providing cheap labor as graduate students, have learned very well what to expect and really have nothing to complain about; but we academics are a discontented lot, so we do complain. However, I have hit on a proposal that might take some modest steps toward addressing the problem. More...

Trends in European Higher Education

LogoTrends in European Higher Education

Since 1999, EUA has been publishing the Trends reports, with a view to feeding an institutional perspective into European higher education policy discussions, and improving exchange and networking among European universities and support for them. The principal method is a questionnaire sent to European higher education institutions, which is complemented by other research methods, including focus groups, visits to universities, interviews, and questionnaires to other stakeholders. The resulting reports are designed to present reliable, longitudinal information about how the European Higher Education and Research Areas are being developed across the continent. Over time, EUA’s Trends reports have become crucial sources of information and reference works for policy makers and the higher education community alike.

The Trends 2015 Report is currently under preparation, and will be published in time for the Bologna Ministerial meeting in Yerevan, Armenia, in spring 2015. Compared to previous Trends reports, it places greater focus on learning and teaching, including e-learning and MOOCs. 

The institutional questionnaire was launched in January 2014. If you think your institution may be interested in participating in the Trends 2015 survey, please contact trends@eua.be for additional information. Please note that the questionnaire is aimed at the institutional leadership of higher education institutions.

More information on the Trends 2015 survey can also be downloaded here.

The Trends Series

The first Trends report, produced for the Ministerial meeting in Bologna in 1999, described the state of European higher education, and provided a rationale for the development of a European Higher Education Area. The second report, produced for the Prague Ministerial Conference in 2001, was an update of national developments and extended the geographical coverage in Europe.

Trends III, prepared in 2003 for EUA’s Higher Education Convention in Graz and for the Berlin Ministerial Conference, was the first report to introduce the perspective of higher education institutions in the analysis, based on a questionnaire that gathered over 800 institutional replies. This report raised several questions and challenges regarding the nature of institutional implementation, many of which were explored in greater depth through a series of institutional site visits undertaken for both the Trends IV and the Trends V reports (with additional focus group discussions).

The same methodology – combining a survey questionnaire, institutional site visits and focus group discussions – was used again for the Trends VI (2010) report, which examined a decade of Bologna reforms in the context of other changes that have affected higher education, whether through international, European or national developments.

U.S. Agencies, Industry, and Academe Team Up to Compute Media’s Future

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/icons/wired-campus-nameplate.gifBy Jennifer Howard. As risky as predictions are, here’s a fairly safe one: The future of media is bound up with computers. That doesn’t mean that print and other older forms of media will fade away. It does mean that newer media, whatever shape they take, will be created, shared, and used with the help of computers. If it’s not love, it’s apps that will bring us together. Read more...

"The Ed-Tech Establishment"

http://www.insidehighered.com/sites/default/server_files/styles/blog_landing/public/technology_and_learning_blog_header.jpg?itok=aQthgJ91By Joshua Kim. Doc_Docorstein, in an exchange with Michael Feldstein in the Disqus / comments section of my post, talks about the existence of an “ed-tech establishment."
By “ed-tech establishment” I take Doc_Docerstein to be referring to those of us who are apt to find ourselves at EDUCAUSE, Sloan-C, or NMC.  Full-time administrators.  People working in and around academic IT. Read more...
