Higher education in the digital age : moving academia online
28 November 2018
BY: Annika Zorn(Editor), HAYWOOD Jeff(Editor), Jean-Michel Glachant(Editor)
The European higher education sector is moving online, but to what extent? Are the digital disruptions seen in other sectors of relevance for both academics and management in higher education? A discussion within the European Higher Education sector has emerged as to what extent this trend of going online is of relevance and what the rational for Higher Education Institutions could be to incorporating an online agenda into their core strategy. This book contributes to the debate on what moving online may offer to academic institutions and their scholarly practice by sharing successful case studies of academic online-isation. While there is a growing literature - including practical guides - on how individual academics may use specific online tools, no comprehensive overview is currently available on how a move online in academia can be grasped in its various dimensions. This book offers a comprehensive framework how to understand moving online in academia, addressing the core activities of an academic institution – education, research, and research communication. Further, while more and more universities are experimenting with, for example, new forms of online teaching and learning, these experiences are scattered across Europe and thus often inaccessible to academics and academic management interested in fully seizing the opportunities that a move online may offer. Discussing a broad variety of case studies, the book provides a lens to understand and compare the various dynamics facilitating a move online within traditional academic institutions.
