Lectures must add value if campus-based higher education is to continue

http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/css/hea2/images/hea2-header-bg-swirl.pngA new report published today by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) has found that a blended approach to learning and teaching, where technology-enhanced learning takes place alongside more traditional approaches, should help students benefit from the value that lectures and seminars add to a higher education experience.
However, the report, Flexible Pedagogies: technology-enhance learning, goes on to emphasise that if students do not perceive traditional lectures and seminars to be valuable from a learning perspective then the age of campus-based education could be ending. It concludes that the best approach to higher education teaching is therefore to use technology to enhance the student learning experience by enabling greater flexibility.

Student consultation crucial in maintaining quality of advocacy services

http://www.nteu.org.au//var/files/thumbs/a780532dd116f8da145bac8c4c7961bc_default_w80_.jpgBy Paul Kniest. NTEU has called on the Minister for Education, Christopher Pyne to investigate whether universities are fully complying with their obligations to consult students over the use of the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
The NTEU has expressed concern that less than a quarter of universities are engaging in best practice consultation with students over allocation of the Fee.
A report compiled by the National Union of Students (NUS) concluded that most universities are paying little more than lip service to their obligation to consult with students over the allocation of SSAF revenues. Read more...

University funding

http://www.nteu.org.au//var/files/thumbs/a780532dd116f8da145bac8c4c7961bc_default_w80_.jpgBy Jeannie Rea. “University planning is far too important to be left solely to market forces”
NTEU in Times HES on the impact of deregulating university places
Late last year the UK Conservative Government announced their intention to remove enrolment caps on university places. Chancellor of the Exchequer Osborne argued that it was to fulfil unmet demand and also noted that the UK was falling behind on international comparisons in the proportion of young people in higher education. Not surprisingly, the UK universities, unions and media are asking what we in Australia think two years after the caps were removed here – and the Demand Driven Model is under formal review.

Comprehensive records are key to successful alumni strategies

By Serge Sych. Although the set up and scope of alumni relations offices may differ from country to country, there is an unmistakable trend across the board that alumni relations are becoming more and more integrated in the primary processes of higher education organisations. The increased scope of services and functions of these offices demand specific skills and competences of their managers and one aspect crucial to the success of alumni relations is an efficient way of recording alumni details.
A well functioning alumni relations office for higher education institutions is essential. Through alumni, the recruitment of (international) students can be increased. Alumni can support current students with their career planning through alumni mentorships and coaching, and they can provide internships or offer job positions. Alumni are important for their input on the quality of your institution’s educational programmes and research. Additionally, by keeping track of your alumni you can measure the employability of your graduates. More...
