Universities are still standing. The MOOC revolution that never happened.

By David Glance. It is two years since Coursera began offering massive open online courses (MOOCs) that threatened the very existence of Universities and the increasingly expensive education they offered.

How to boost your university up the rankings

By Yves Gingras. The recent publication by Thomson Reuters of the list of Highly Cited Researchers and their institutions provides data much more interesting than simply knowing who are the most cited and which institutions hire them. By providing data on secondary affiliations, the list inadvertently confirms the traffic in institutional affiliations used to boost institutions’ places in world university rankings. Read more...

‘Organised anarchy’ – The enduring paradigm of university management

By Damtew Teferra. Pressured by relentless demands for accountability, dogged by serious legal, financial and administrative concerns, guided by legitimate reasons to remove ‘academic dead wood’, misguided by naïve and simplistic views as well as driven by sinister motives, higher education managements and leaderships in many countries are fast assuming characters of ‘unadulterated’ corporate and business models.

What counts for academic productivity in research universities?

By Philip G Altbach. Publication in high status refereed journals has become a major criterion of academic success in the competitive environment of global higher education.

By Hans de Wit. In 2011, I wrote two provocative essays. The first one, together with Uwe Brandenburg, had the provocative title “The End of Internationalisation”.
