As a new model of growth and development comes into force, higher education institutions (HEI) worldwide have to adapt and respond to a constantly changing environment. Politics, economics, advances in technology and the resultant societal change create a number of opportunities and challenges that HEI’ administrators have to address on a daily basis. This volume offers practice-driven accounts of how HEI successfully embrace these challenges and opportunities. The experts and practitioners contributing to this volume reveal a complex reality of HEI today. The book links the debate on education to topical issues in politics, society and economy, including questions of technological progress, social responsibility, sustainability, well-being and, broadly understood, resilience. The authors emphasise the importance of the role of the university in supporting new models of growth by ensuring that the institutions strive towards inclusive education for all. Topics examined in this timely book include university social responsibility, emerging technologies in Higher Education and digital games-based learning and organizational innovation, in a range of international contexts. Given its practice-drive approach, this book will be invaluable for researchers, administrators and leaders in higher education management.

The Covid-19 pandemic caused mass disruption to higher education institutions (HEIs) across the world and has since led to vast debate on how to manage HEIs and how to deliver course content to students beyond the crisis. The emergency shift to remote learning has led many HEIs to adopt more flexible course delivery in the longer term. Drawing on international and multidisciplinary perspectives, Moving Higher Education Beyond Covid-19 explores how HEIs may use crises as an opportunity to develop, to transform, and to improve their institutional resilience.Authors draw on many novel and innovative practices mastered during the pandemic, including approaches to teaching, and the related learning and managerial practices. Collectively, the authors argue that Covid-19 has served as one of the most important push factors for universities to redesign their approaches to teaching and learning, and thereby also rethink their business models.With insights for researchers, course designers, and higher education leaders, Moving Higher Education Beyond Covid-19 is a must-read for moving your institution forward beyond the pandemic.

It is essential to learn what innovative practices and leadership approaches are adopted in the education sector to solve challenges such as digital transformations, inefficiencies in higher education administration models, and the need for a connection between innovation and sustainability within the curriculum. Transformative Leadership and Sustainable Innovation in Education addresses these topics, discussing several possible transformations at the policy, classroom, and research levels.Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, scholars from three main disciplines of education, business, and IT consider both a leadership and management perspective and an educational perspective. This integration of research, academia and industry bridges the gap between theory and practice, tackling how to make schools a sustainable enterprise, how to sustain student learning through leadership practices, and exploring the disruptive impact of artificial intelligence and other technologies on higher education.Transformative Leadership and Sustainable Innovation in Education is a valuable resource to a diverse network of policy makers, school and university leaders, educators, practitioners, curriculum designers, innovators, and investors who want to collaborate to identify and implement innovations that transform education and research.

Educators in Europe and the Americas traditionally have little formal training in applied linguistics, and yet they are increasingly faced with a growing multilingual student base. This book responds to the need to make the university community more aware of the unique experience of linguistically diverse students. Drawing on research and hands-on experience from both linguists and non-linguists who deal with students from different language backgrounds in their classroom, this book includes contributions which include linguistic research on 2nd and 3rd language acquisition, as well as case studies of specific challenges in teaching content courses in various disciplines, to offer a roadmap of how educators might facilitate the learning of their bilingual student cohort. Combining issues that have been studied separately within the fields of theoretical linguistics, pedagogy and information and communication technologies (ICT), the author presents a comprehensive overview across the areas of applied linguistics, foreign language teaching methodologies and technological tools to address multilingualism within the university classroom, and ultimately equip educators to meet a critical demand.

Although it is vital that the incorporation of ICT into academic culture is effective and lasting, the very nature of higher education, with its long ties to tradition and academic values, does not lend itself easily to emerging ICT strategies. This book asks how we, as educators, can shift mind-sets, practices, policies, and attitudes in higher education in order to serve society and meet the educational needs of today. Tackling the critical question of how to manage knowledge for value creation in the higher education environment, the authors draw attention to smart ICT use for knowledge creation and sharing. Serving up a mixture of case studies, examples, questions and tools, they also deliver insights on the human element involved in both ICT and higher education. By providing a conceptual model for implementing Knowledge 4.0 in educational environments, this book ultimately facilitates a dialogue within higher education institutions that brings forth emerging practices and examples of cultural adaptation. Confronting the idea that innovation brings chaos to institutions steeped in tradition, this edited collection is a must-have guide for those interested effecting technological change in educational environments while also sustaining academic quality and delivering meaningful learning outcomes.
