Ministers urging more bright pupils to apply to university

http://bathknightblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/telegraph-logo.jpgBy Graeme Paton. Ministers are to write to bright teenagers urging them to apply to university amid fears too many schools are failing to encourage pupils to push for higher education, it was announced today. Letters will be sent to pupils who get good GCSE grades, offering them vital tips on how to apply for degree courses during the sixth-form, it emerged. The letters – signed by ministers from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the Department for Education – will be primarily aimed at pupils from poor backgrounds who are significantly less likely to progress onto higher education at the age of 18.

More degree courses 'lying empty' after tuition fees rise

http://bathknightblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/telegraph-logo.jpgBy Graeme Paton. Rising numbers of degree courses are lying empty after failing to attract any students following a sharp hike in tuition fees, according to new research. Figures show a 7.6 per cent increase in the number of unfilled courses during the current academic year, sparking claims that large numbers of degrees may have to be axed to save money. Data supplied by 60 universities shows that 1,005 courses are lying empty in 2012/13 – up from 934 a year earlier. Only 10 institutions recruited sudents on to all courses.
Extrapolated nationally, the number of unfilled courses may be twice as high. The disclosure – in research by Times Higher Education magazine – was made despite the fact that many universities have already cut back on the number of undergraduate courses on offer to coincide with the introduction of fees of up to £9,000-a-year.

Academies and colleges can lead community change

The Guardian homeBy Alex AldridgeHigher educational standards and instilling an entrepreneurial instinct in students can lead to benefits for all. The regeneration of a community can take many forms but, in my experience, the most effective way is for it to be people-led, rather than expecting infrastructure alone to lead the way.Over the past six years my foundation has worked closely with communities across the country through our sponsorship of academy schools. We now have five academies – Darwen near Blackburn, Portland in Dorset, north Kensington in London, and two in Brighton – along with two university technical colleges at Salford and Newhaven and a studio school in Darwen. We see our academies and colleges as community assets, leading regeneration in areas where there has been underinvestment and often a climate of low aspiration which has existed for many generations.

Disability at university: see the world through my eyes

The Guardian homeBy Imagine living on a campus inhabited by people with a different set of needs and abilities to your own. Imagine the scene. You're walking around campus, surrounded by all these "normal" people in wheelchairs and everyone's staring at you. It happens so often that you've stopped noticing it. You are a walker after all, part of that strange group of people, those oddities who don't use wheelchairs like everyone else. You're one of those people who causes inconvenience to bus drivers as they have to move their ramps out of the way for you. You don't need them. You're always in the way of everyone's wheelchairs, causing a nuisance. Read more...

University recruitment: one fifth of students say social media doesn't work

http://static.guim.co.uk/static/213afb344155ffe84de9ac39e6481765e2d4d5a1/common/images/logos/the-guardian/news.gifThe view of university social media as untrustworthy or irrelevant means students don't look for information there, says Justin Shaw, but used better, these channels could count.
Universities still have a way to go to ensure that their social media presence is seen as a credible source of information for prospective students. Our research, conducted with online student community The Student Room, surveyed over 300 potential and current students about what information sources or channels influenced their choice of university. We found that although 65% of students use social media channels several times a day, students rated universities' social media presence as less influential and less trustworthy than more traditional sources such as prospectuses or open days. Justin Shaw is the managing director at Communications Management. Read more...

Academic writing: why no 'me' in PhD?

The Guardian homeAlienating the 'I' from academic writing is a big risk, says Aslihan Agaogl – what you're doing is removing yourself. The PhD is a lonely pursuit. Ask anyone who has ever done one and they will tell you that there is a lot of "me time" during your years of research. It requires a lot of reading and writing, critical thinking, coming up with ideas, then throwing those ideas into the trash and coming up with new, and hopefully, better ones. There's no way around it, the process requires isolation. This was one of the first things our programme director told us during our induction seminar: to be able to do a PhD, you need to not only to be okay with being alone, you have to love it. Love, that is, with a capital L. Read more...

Research funding: 10 tips for writing a successful application

The Guardian homeBy Claire Shaw. Securing funding through grant proposals can be a long and difficult process. Experts share their advice on how to help your applications succeed.
Read the eligibility rules

It's important to understand what can be funded and what can't on a particular call, says Ken Emond, head of research awards at the British Academy for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Take a hard look at the priorities of the funding body you are applying to. It is the knack of linking what you want to do, with what they want to know, adds Mel Bartley, a medical sociologist.

Goodbye vice-chancellor, hello chief executive

The Guardian homeBy Do changes to university job titles matter and what do they say about the role of our institutions and their leaders? We've been talking titles on the Higher Education Network lately, following the news that both Regent's College and the College of Law in London have been granted the right to call themselves universities. But the name swaps aren't limited to institutions. Leaders of UK universities are also substituting the traditional job title of vice-chancellor with that of chief executive in a bid to avoid confusion abroad. No longer is one business card enough. University heads are flashing different cards at different contacts, with vice-chancellors at institutions such as Exeter, Leeds, UCL, Cardiff, Huddersfield and Plymouth preferring to use chief executive or opting for American labels such as president when travelling overseas.

Philanthropic giving to UK universities: a case of onwards and upwards

http://static.guim.co.uk/static/e23a13e8014d071a6cff44b68a9864131ece3356/common/images/logos/the-guardian/professional.gifWhile Oxford and Cambridge still attract the lion's share of donations, Kate Hunter finds reasons for sector optimism. The latest Ross-CASE survey report on higher education philanthropic giving has been making headlines in recent days. UK universities saw record levels of both philanthropic donors and new funds raised in 2011-12, despite the wider economic picture. We're not talking about a small rise. Total new funds secured jumped by 14.4% from the previous report, itself a record. The number of alumni making donations rose 5%, to almost 170,000 people, and non-alumni donors increased by 11% to almost 44,000 people. The headline figures certainly indicate that higher education philanthropy is alive and well. Read more...

Enquêtes de mesure de la satisfaction client

http://www.bivi.metrologie.afnor.org/extension/afnor_site_metrologie/design/bivi/images/content/logo.jpgQuels types d’informations les enquêtes de mesure de la satisfaction client permettent-elles d'obtenir?
Les enquêtes de satisfaction permettent d'obtenir deux types d'information: un baromètre de la satisfaction (mesure diachronique), utilisant une valeur moyenne ou une carte de contrôle, une analyse des contributeurs à la satisfaction pour identifier les facteurs d'influence.
* Un baromètre de la satisfaction (mesure diachronique), utilisant une valeur moyenne ou une carte de contrôle. On y adjoint souvent un histogramme des tendances regroupant quatre catégories de notes (0 à 4, 5 à 7, 8 à 9, 10); en estimant que la population de clients qui notent 8, 9 et 10 restent fidèles et que ceux qui notent de 0 à 4 risquent de passer à la concurrence, on obtient un estimateur de fidélité. De plus, cette dernière catégorie donne une idée du pourcentage de plaintes que l'on devrait normalement enregistrer; dans les activités professionnelles on évalue à un sur dix le nombre de clients insatisfaits qui se manifestent; si 15% des clients notent de 0 à 4 dans une enquête, cela correspond à un taux de plainte de 1,5% par rapport au nombre total de transactions.
* Une analyse des contributeurs à la satisfaction pour identifier les facteurs d'influence (analyse binomiale, PLS, SEM, indice de Theil).
L'utilité de ce type d'approche est de fournir un outil de modélisation et de simulation pour influencer le résultat (Si l'entreprise investit pour améliorer de 10% la qualité perçue, quel sera le changement induit dans le taux de fidélisation?).
Quand il existe des questions ouvertes, les réponses des clients font l'objet d'une analyse de contenu (fréquence de mots clés, catégorisation des réponses).
La satisfaction est le plus souvent exprimée en pourcentage de clients satisfaits.
