CHANGES FACING HIGHER EDUCATION — OPPORTUNITY OR CHALLENGE? EXPLORING ALTERNATIVE LEARNING & TEACHING PRACTICES FOR UNDERGRADUATESAndrea Benn |
||
This paper acknowledges that Higher Education Institutions are facing interesting but challenging times ahead. As with many other business enterprises, in the private and public sectors, each Vice Chancellor will be looking for improvement and efficiency savings while being seen to offer value for money and maintain quality of provision. This paper identifies the reasons why this is an opportunity to bring about change to undergraduate programmes, explores the pedagogical structures tried by others, and demonstrates how new technologies can be integrated to bring about the desired effect of promoting independent enquiry and development of the associated personal skills. |
