14th Annual Conference

In several European countries, the cooperation and even partnerships and associations between universities and institutions of professional higher education are increasing. How can this be realized in such a way, that both sectors of higher education are maintaining their profiles and strengths, when approaching a more coherent landscape of European higher education? And how will this evolution influence subjects and periods of study and success rates in the two sectors? Many other questions could be raised.

These factors have been elaborated by many commentators – individuals and organizations such as UNESCO and the World Bank – and have led to the making of quality assurance in higher education “a central objective of governmental policies and an important steering mechanism in higher education systems …

EURASHE Annual Report 2011

In my capacity of President of EURASHE, it is my pleasure to share with you the diverse activities and initiatives of the European Association of Institutions of Higher Education which took place in 2011. For those who are familiar with EURASHE, they know how we are evolving from a stakeholders organisation for professional higher education mainly active in the implementation of the Bologna Process into a truly members’ association. As such we are expanding continually our field with more direct services to members, which are individual higher education institutions with profiles that are growing more and more diverse. The areas in which we have offered such support were so far limited to the hands-on seminars on development in lifelong learning and projects on the same theme, in which we also took due care to involve some national associations which are members of …

EURASHE Policy Paper on Quality Assurance and Transparency Tools

During the 1990s, following the rise of international markets and informatics in the preceding decade, fundamental world-wide economic shifts occurred. These changes can be summarised in terms of globalisation, individualisation, digitalisation and the information boom. The economic and financial crisis of the 2000s has not only deepened and hastened these changes, but also set new challenges to the world, in terms of restructuring the knowledge society through creativity and innovation and specifically the formulating of new responses to climate change, issues concerning immigration as well as attempts to address the widening gap between rich and …

There is an intensified European discussion on QA, which is justly placed within the Bologna process, since it is a declaration to affirm the quality of …

History, Theory, and Quality Indicators of Distance Education: A Literature Review

A controversial topic in higher education today revolves around the enormous growth of distance education (Novak, 2002; Meyer, 2002). According to Mehrotra, Hollister, and McGahey (2001), “distance learning, or distance education, is not a future possibility for which higher education must prepare, it is a current reality creating opportunities and challenges for educational institutions; a reality offering students expanded choices in where, when, how, and from whom they learn; a reality making education accessible to ever larger numbers of persons” (p. ix). Interest in the concept of distance education has grabbed the attention of university and college administrators, faculty, and other professionals all over the world (Willis, 1994; Birnbaum, 2001; Moore, 2003). A myriad of questions, concerns, and opinions from professionals in these university and college settings regarding the topic of distance education has bombarded the literature base. What is distance education? Where is it going? What types of technology should be used? What is the market? What type of support does distance education need from administration/faculty? What types of incentives are needed for faculty to be interested? What are the differences in traditional, on-campus courses versus coursed delivered via distance …

IMPLEMENTING AND USING QUALITY ASSURANCE: STRATEGY AND PRACTICE

Quality assurance is so omnipresent and its vocabulary so pervasive nowadays in higher education policy and discourse that one forgets how relatively recent the enthronement of the term “quality” actually is. Hence, before embarking on an attempt to trace the key paths and challenges which quality assurance will be facing in the years to come, it may be helpful to put the concern with assuring quality in higher education into context. This should not just be a historical exercise, of course, but should also serve to emphasise that quality development in higher education is a great deal more than the formal quality assurance processes that policymakers like to focus upon when they speak about quality in higher education. Clearly, quality enhancement is the sum of many methods of institutional development, ranging from competitive hiring procedures, creating appropriate funding opportunities, to facilitating communication between disciplines and supporting innovative initiatives through institutional …

The present study represents a follow-up of the report published by EURASHE in January 2009, entitled “Lifelong Learning: Impediments and examples of good practice”. This previous research study focused in detail on a number of general aspects concerning the implementation of lifelong learning at European level: the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), Employability and Lifelong Learning Strategies. While the present study is based on these previous findings, it adopts, however, a new approach. It will focus less on the development of lifelong learning at policy-making level, being instead, orientated towards its implementation within professional higher education …

In being open towards universal values and in building transnational HE communities which encompass people from various cultural backgrounds, is indispensable for the building of a creative and responsive society. Adaptability is key to the new “Conceptual Age”, an age of creativity and innovation, acknowledged by David Pink (“A Whole New Mind”), which demands a new reaction in HE towards sharpening its effectiveness and in the preparation of societies to participate in an increasingly diverse world, in which flexibility is becoming a pre-eminent …

In addition, university leaders were asked to assess the role of student and teacher mobility at their institution, and employers were requested to report about the experience with formerly mobile students. Moreover, a broad range of actors and experts stated their perceptions of the impact of ERASMUS mobility in an expert survey and in discussions during general and field-specific …
