GAIHE Project - Academia.edu (original) (raw)
In the context of the ever growing use of technology through e-learning and open-courseware, this project sets out to examine the evolution of the innovative modes of HE provision in teaching and learning across Europe, the motivations for their emergence as well as the ways in which higher education management and governance have responded and adapted to such new modes of provision. In the highly competitive sector of HE, while attempting to enhance the quality of teaching and learning, the increasing range of teaching and learning providers (encouraging both new delivery models and the ‘unbundling of delivery’ through partnerships, spin-out organisations, franchising, etc.), has challenged the ‘traditional’ model of university and stimulated changes in the provision and management of higher education.
The project will identify and analyse the landscape of these changes in the governance of higher education and will provide the first European-wide analysis of these innovative modes of provision in Europe, contributing relevant policy recommendations to all stakeholders and actors in higher education.
Supervisors: Jo Ritzen, Maastricht Graduate School of Governance, RAND Europe, University of STRASBOURG, Dublin Institute of Technology, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, University of Latvia, Comenius University, University of Ss.

This project sets out to examine the evolution of the innovative modes of higher education provision in teaching and learning across Europe, the motivations for their emergence as well as the ways in which higher education management and governance have responded and adapted to such new modes of provision.

Our paper describes the general framework of the project, foregrounding the first preliminary results of the project to be presented and discussed during the conference in July as part of what will be the first European-wide analysis of such innovative modes of provision in teaching and learning in Europe.

Drivers as the “motors” of the respective innovation are specified and basic innovation-oriented university stakeholders are identified. Article deals also with the theoretical analysis of barriers of innovation in university education and delineates basic prerequisites for its fruitful implementation.

The survey was circulated on April 2014 to European higher education institutions (HEIs) based in 9 countries.
