The purpose of higher education is in a state of transition. What traditionally has been a stable part of Western society for so many years now must find ways to remain relevant in a time of expanding knowledge, changing societal values, and increased questioning of authority figures. Therefore, our higher education consultants at The Change Leader want to offer a series of articles that lay out where we believe higher education is going in the face of all of these challenges.
CC0 Teaching the Career Development Planning course, a compulsory non-credit bearing course for second year undergraduates in the Business School, has its challenges. The student cohort is large and diverse with students at all stages of career planning. A key challenge is meeting the needs of students and getting them to see the course as relevant to them, rather than just “going through the motions”.
CC0 I teach on two different assessment-related courses – Assessment, Standard Setting and Examination on the MSc Clinical Education , and Assessment, Learning and Digital Education on the MSc Digital Education. Both programmes are part-time, online distance learning and are aimed at improving the knowledge of professionals who teach and assess others.

CC0 The VLE Standards Project aims to review the current use of the University’s main virtual learning environment, Blackboard Learn and develop strategies to ensure greater consistency in the way it is used. Consultations with staff and students by the Learn Service team and the commissioned Headscape review in 2016 both indicated that inconsistencies across such systems causes frustration and dissatisfaction for students.
CC0 Online knowledge assessments are a vital component of the MBChB (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) programme. Although we had a system to deliver exams, this had limitations for staff and students, and so we set about assessing and implementing a new platform. The system needed to deliver single best and short answer questions and be used for clinical examinations.

Strategic Planning and Management for Higher Ed Institutions Webinar We live in a new normal, where the pool of “traditional” students is decreasing as are enrollments; institutions are struggling to meet expenses, discounting is the norm, tuition assistance/grants are decreasing, and deferred maintenance is eating budges alive; and accountability is a “bad” word.
Higher education institutions must do a better job at strategic planning and environmental scanning. Many colleges and universities get pulled off track easily in todays highly charged and quickly changing world. While colleges and universities work to stay on the leading edge of knowledge, emerging technologies can quickly make these efforts antiquated.
