Technology-Enhanced Learning and the Virtual University: University Development and Administration

Editat de Michael David Sankey, Henk Huijser, Rachel Fitzgerald
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 sep 2023

Subliniem apariția primei ediții (2023) a volumului Technology-Enhanced Learning and the Virtual University, o lucrare de referință care sintetizează transformările profunde ale învățământului superior în contextul digitalizării. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care editorii, Michael David Sankey, Henk Huijser și Rachel Fitzgerald, reușesc să transforme conceptul de „universitate virtuală” dintr-o proiecție teoretică într-o realitate administrativă și pedagogică palpabilă. Volumul debutează cu stabilirea unei viziuni strategice, punând accent pe alinierea planurilor directoare cu politicile și procedurile de asigurare a calității.

Notăm cu interes structura riguroasă a celor 654 de pagini, care ghidează cititorul de la fundamentele guvernării tehnologice până la aplicarea teoriilor de învățare moderne, precum conectivismul. Cartea explorează rolul esențial al analizelor de date (analytics) în sprijinirea personalului și a studenților, oferind totodată modele de dezvoltare profesională adaptate noilor paradigme. Considerăm acest titlu o alternativă necesară la The Virtual University? de Kevin Robins pentru cursurile de administrare a educației superioare, având avantajul unei perspective actualizate asupra tehnologiilor emergente și a integrării lor sistemice, depășind simpla analiză a managerialismului.

Față de abordările clasice, această lucrare din seria University Development and Administration integrează dimensiunea echității sociale în dezvoltarea universității virtuale. În comparație cu Shaping the University of the Future de Stephen James Marshall, care se concentrează pe forțele strategice globale, volumul de față oferă un instrumentar mult mai aplicat pentru implementarea schimbării la nivel de infrastructură și curriculum, fiind esențial pentru înțelegerea modului în care elementele sistemului universitar interacționează în era globalizării.

Descriere scurtă

Since the first works on Higher Education Administration in the 1970s no comprehensive work in terms of purpose and scope of Higher Education has been published. There have been important changes in people’s aspirations vis-à-vis higher education globally. In parallel, the higher education systems, worldwide, have been undergoing constant transformation in response to these aspirations. From governments, employers and prospective students and their parents, the stakeholders in higher education system are now extremely varied paying close attention to the various aspects of higher education - from infrastructure, on-campus safety and security to administration, faculty and curricula. The present series attempts to take into account the issues of importance to all the stakeholders. Hence the series not only pays attention to the purpose and outcomes of higher education but also the economics surrounding higher education vis a vis marketization. The nitty gritty of running and maintaining a university infrastructure, impact of globalization and internationalization on delivery and demand of higher education, the commoditization of research, and changing paradigms of teaching and learning fall within the purview of the series. The increasing competition from other entities to provide degrees, certificates or other forms of credentials makes it important to have a work that brings all of the elements together to see how they actually interact and inter-relate from a systems perspective. The present series attempts to comprehensively attend to these issues and provide a complete reference resource to all those involved and interested in setting up of a Higher Education institution and its administration.
