Genocide prevention and engaged scholarship

 

 

http://enews.ksu.edu.sa/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/UWN.jpgBy Sarah King Head. It is entirely apt that Rutgers University in Newark, New Jersey, should be the recipient of a UNESCO Chair in Genocide Prevention – especially since it was there that the man who coined the term ‘genocide’, Raphael Lemkin, taught law in the 1950s. Professor Alex Hinton, director of the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights and newly inaugurated UNESCO chair, agrees. More...

Reinventing higher education – MOOCs, SPOCs and hubs

 

 

http://enews.ksu.edu.sa/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/UWN.jpgBy Paul Rigg. Massive open online courses, SPOCs – self-paced open courses that may become MOOCs – and university hubs generated most interest at the fourth annual international conference on “Reinventing Higher Education”, which took place in Spain from 7-8 October.

All students to get laptops to boost e-learning

 

 

http://enews.ksu.edu.sa/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/UWN.jpgBy Gilbert Nganga. At a hostel near the expansive Kenyatta University, Kenya’s biggest by student numbers, Patrick Kinyanjui is seated on his bed, typing away at his class-work on a laptop. Several students are queuing for an opportunity to do an assignment due the following day. Lecturers are increasingly demanding typed assignments. Kinyanjui, a fourth year computer engineering student, is one of a few lucky students who own a laptop or desktop computer. He charges US$4 cents per page for typing services and US$1.5 cents per page for printing. More...

Ministry presents three-year plan for universities

 

 

http://enews.ksu.edu.sa/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/UWN.jpgBy Brenda Dionisi. Italian officials are finalising a major funding and standards strategy for universities, which they hope will be enacted despite the country’s endemic political instability. The plan has been developed by the Ministry of Education, University and Research and will span three years, 2013-15, setting academic standards for both state and non-state universities. It also seeks to further internationalise higher education. Assuming that overall 2013 higher education funding is maintained next year, the programme will spend up to €167 million (US$230 million) in 2014. More...

Proposal extends support to all Norwegian students worldwide

 

 

http://enews.ksu.edu.sa/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/UWN.jpgBy Jan Petter Myklebust. While most European countries face budget cuts and severe limitations on public spending, Norway has swum against the tide and proposed finalising the long political process of providing students abroad with access to state funding worldwide. A new budget proposal would extend support to first-year Norwegian students in the United States. But this latest stage in an increase of support for Norwegians studying in foreign institutions may fall prey to politics. “Don’t celebrate too early,” warned new Prime Minister Erna Solberg. More...
