Dr. Jane Knight was giving a speech at an international conference in Alexandria, Egypt on November 15-16, 2005. Her speech focused on presenting preliminary findings from the 2005 IAU Survey on the status of internationalization in higher education institutions around the world. The survey looked at rationales, benefits, priorities, risks, and challenges identified by participants from 93 countries. It also examined new developments in cross-border education, implications of GATS, quality assurance, and recognition of qualifications. Comparisons were made with IAU's 2003 survey results and differences among regions and developed/developing countries were addressed. Two full reports on the final 2005 IAU Survey results were forthcoming in early 2006.

The document discusses introducing a blended teaching and learning approach to optimize curriculum for technology-centric programs with increasing international student numbers from diverse backgrounds. It proposes using technology as the primary communication tool to overcome cultural barriers by reducing the focus on language. A student questionnaire found that nearly half of students preferred blended learning over traditional face-to-face methods. Blended learning methods allow institutions to more optimally and effectively deal with constraints from large, diverse student cohorts in higher education.

Academic Viewpoints and Concerns on CSCW Education and Training in Latin America
This document summarizes a study on academic viewpoints regarding computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) education and training in Latin America. The study found that current CSCW courses focus primarily on research conducted in North America and Western Europe and do not adequately consider the Latin American context. Participants proposed adapting existing course material to the local context and developing curriculum around awareness, participation, collaborative modeling, and contemporary topics like social networks and ethics. Challenges to implementing a Latin American-centric CSCW curriculum include dispersed universities and dependence on collaborations between institutions.

This study examines internationalization at U.S. research universities through their study abroad programs. It assesses whether relationships exist between institutional inputs like staffing and funding, coordination processes by international offices, and outputs like number of students studying abroad. The findings show human resources, financial resources, and number of study abroad programs positively correlate with more students studying abroad. Number of exchange programs and international partnerships also increase exchange students. The study recommends optimizing staffing and budgets to better support internationalization through study abroad.

THE-UNITED-NATIONS-INTERNATIONAL-HIGHER-EDUCATION.pptx
The United Nations engages in international higher education in several ways:
1) It has established universities like the United Nations University and University for Peace that grant degrees in areas related to UN goals.
2) It sponsors non-degree programs to educate students on the UN through initiatives like Academic Impact, Model UN, and internships.
3) It facilitates partnerships between higher education institutions globally through faculty exchanges, curriculum development projects, and networking.
While UN universities face challenges in sustainability and degree recognition, its role brokering information exchange and partnerships between institutions seems more effective in furthering its knowledge diplomacy objectives.

Durban wg the requirements of internationalization of higher education
The document discusses internationalization in higher education at a conference of the International Association of Universities. It addresses key issues around distinguishing internationalization from homogenizing globalization. Recommendations include universities taking initiative in internationalization rather than reacting to market forces, developing clear internationalization policies, ensuring quality of internationalization processes, and promoting partnership and intercultural competence among global citizens. There was debate around whether internationalization curriculum should prepare experts in fields or not prescribe details, and whether having the same curriculum abroad is internationalization or globalization.

AUA Article Published Version
This article discusses the influence that the US higher education system has on support for international students in other countries like the UK. It notes that the US and UK are two of the largest destinations for international students globally. While the US system differs from the UK in its flexibility and general education requirements, both countries are competing for the same pool of international applicants. As such, policies and practices for supporting international students may spread between the two systems as they aim to improve their competitiveness. The article then describes research conducted by the author in the US, where he interviewed staff and students to understand academic advising and support services provided to international students, with the goal of informing support structures in the UK.
Factors Affecting the Sustainability of Sino-American Educational Ventures in...
The scope of this study is to identify the main factors that influence the sustainability of SinoAmerican Educational Ventures (SAEV) in Mainland China. SAEV ventures have been a new global trend since the Chinese open door policy in the late 70’s. These ventures are comprised of Chinese and American institution forming degree programs in mainland China. Sustainability for this study meant creating world-class institutions with a Chinese educational mantra known as sine qua non, meaning education for security, sustenance, and economic expansion. The study attempts to examine factors such as perceived external prestige, discordant educational rating systems, government policies, and intercultural communication. In addition, the analysis includes the review of institutions that have succeeded and failed in these ventures and the sustainability efforts employed by these institutions. Finally, the paper provides an insight into ways of mitigating these factors, thereby the sustainability of Sino- American Educational Ventures.

The study sought to investigate the influence of
strategic communication on the growth of students’
population in selected private universities in Kenya. The study
was guided by resource-based theory. The study utilized
descriptive research design. Random sampling technique was
used to select research respondents. The study targeted
private universities in north rift, south rift and Nyanza region
of Kenya. The unit of observations was staff and students in
various departments and faculties existing in the institutions.
The study used purposive sampling to select research
respondents. Questionnaire was the main instrument for data
collection. Descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of
SPSS version 23.0 were used to analyze collected data and
presented using frequency distribution tables and bar graphs.
The findings indicated that if strategic communication is
changed by one unit, the growth of student population will
increase by a margin of 0.440. The study concludes that
strategic communication plays a critical role in growing
students’ population in private universities. It is also
recommended that private universities should consider using
professional bloggers to build the publicity of the institution.
Top management of the private universities will get insight on
various strategic issues with regard to student population
through the recommendations of the study. Scholars in the
field of strategic management will find the study useful as it
will form basis of future references.

Exploring the internationalisation strategy of higher education: A case of Mu...Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn)
This article aimed to identify the inhibiting factors and the
internationalisation strategy of higher education in Indonesia. The study
deployed a qualitative based on the case study at Muhammadiyah Higher
Education Institutions. Data collected through in-depth interviews with key
respondents include the leader of Higher Education, Research and
Development Council of Muhammadiyah, university chancellors, and
International Affairs Office head. Findings illustrate the factors hindering the
internationalisation which are generally not much different from those
described by previous research but here found one factor which has not been
explained before, the geographical location of the university, which mostly
located in small urban areas that depicted a condition in which cooperation
with external parties, foreign institutions, is challenging. The finding also
suggests that the internationalisation strategies formed in a very structured
manner, involving internal and external university parties. Therefore, this is
significant as it explores inhibiting factors and internationalisation strategy of
higher education in Indonesia, where it still prioritises religious and cultural
values in their educational systems. Practically, this result expected to be a
useful reference for university leaders in formulating internationalisation
strategies so that the quality of graduates produced can be further improved. Going Global: Are graduates prepared for a global workforce
The document discusses a survey conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit on behalf of Kaplan that examined recent university graduates' experiences with and views on international exposure during their studies. Key findings include:
- While 75% of graduates had opportunities for international experience, only 34% pursued them, suggesting students do not fully recognize the value of such experiences.
- Graduates who had international experience during their studies were twice as likely to find employment within six months compared to those without it.
- However, many graduates felt unprepared for their first day on the job despite thinking they were prepared for an increasingly global workforce.

Barbara Truman presented on using immersive learning environments like virtual worlds for study abroad orientation. She discussed how they allow for non-threatening experiential learning, social experimentation, role play, and identity exploration to help prepare students culturally. Examples included using a virtual world to orient students to a short-term trip to Nicaragua or allowing international students to collaborate in a virtual case study. Truman suggested immersive environments could enrich orientation by allowing students to grasp foreign cultures through simulated interactions and experiences to better understand social norms and safety abroad.

Conclusion eva egron polak
The Secretary General concludes the meeting by thanking the participants for their rich and productive conversation. She notes they focused on challenges and solutions for higher education to increase social innovation, including recognition in academia and interdisciplinarity. While some viewed universities negatively, discussions highlighted positive examples like supportive research funders in Canada and universities creating innovation labs. The diversity of participants enriched the discussions by providing contextual insights. All agreed new problems require new solutions and a paradigm shift is needed in learning, research and community engagement to better address social issues through social innovation. The Secretary General thanks all involved in organizing the successful meeting.

The document discusses a survey conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit on behalf of Kaplan that examined recent university graduates' experiences with and views on international exposure during their studies. Key findings include:
- While 75% of graduates had opportunities for international experience, only 34% pursued them, suggesting students do not fully recognize the value of such experiences.
- Graduates who had international experience during their studies were twice as likely to find employment within six months compared to those without it.
- However, many graduates felt unprepared for their first day on the job despite thinking they were prepared for an increasingly global workforce.

Barbara Truman presented on using immersive learning environments like virtual worlds for study abroad orientation. She discussed how they allow for non-threatening experiential learning, social experimentation, role play, and identity exploration to help prepare students culturally. Examples included using a virtual world to orient students to a short-term trip to Nicaragua or allowing international students to collaborate in a virtual case study. Truman suggested immersive environments could enrich orientation by allowing students to grasp foreign cultures through simulated interactions and experiences to better understand social norms and safety abroad.

Conclusion eva egron polak
The Secretary General concludes the meeting by thanking the participants for their rich and productive conversation. She notes they focused on challenges and solutions for higher education to increase social innovation, including recognition in academia and interdisciplinarity. While some viewed universities negatively, discussions highlighted positive examples like supportive research funders in Canada and universities creating innovation labs. The diversity of participants enriched the discussions by providing contextual insights. All agreed new problems require new solutions and a paradigm shift is needed in learning, research and community engagement to better address social issues through social innovation. The Secretary General thanks all involved in organizing the successful meeting.

This document summarizes the findings of a global study on organizational structures that support community-university research partnerships (CURPs). The study included a global survey of 336 respondents from 53 countries as well as 12 case studies. Key findings include that most higher education institutions have created structures to support CURPs in the last 10 years, but there is still a large variation in how CURPs are conceptualized and practiced globally. National policies that explicitly include community engagement and research in higher education tend to encourage the institutionalization of CURPs. Specific funding programs and knowledge-sharing platforms at the national level also help strengthen CURPs. While many countries have made progress, true co-creation of knowledge and accountability to communities is still lacking in most partnerships.

The Secretary General welcomed participants and thanked partners for hosting the event in Montreal. Originally planned for Accra, Ghana, the meeting was relocated due to Ebola and the theme was changed to "Social Innovation". Over the two-day event, participants will discuss the role of universities and associations in social innovation through case studies and panels on defining social innovation, measuring impact, and engaging stakeholders. The Secretary General emphasized that while technology is important, social problems require social solutions and universities are well-positioned to contribute through learning, research, and outreach.

This document discusses measuring the impact of higher education on social innovation. It notes that while impact has become a popular concept, universities have always aimed to serve society. Measuring impact is challenging as it involves both qualitative and quantitative factors. The workshop will discuss how higher education contributes to social innovation and how this is currently being measured and monitored within universities and their effects on society. The impact of universities is complex and involves things like research, teaching, culture, projects and generating trust.

The document summarizes a citizens' agenda for science, technology and innovation organized by UDUAL and various Mexican universities and government institutions. It describes a national consultation process held in Mexico from 2012-2013 that allowed citizens to vote on and discuss 10 proposed challenges. The top 3 voted challenges were to modernize education, ensure clean drinking water, and improve environmental protection. Over 70 organizations participated in the initiative. Following the consultation, 10 volumes of analysis and solutions were published. A university contest was also held asking students to propose innovative projects addressing the 10 challenges. The overall goals were to increase citizen participation in science policy and promote social innovation.
Olive m. Mugenda
The document discusses social innovation at Kenyatta University in Kenya. It defines social innovation as novel solutions to socio-economic challenges. The benefits of social innovation include social outcomes like inclusion, education, and health, as well as workplace benefits like productivity and improved services. Universities can promote social innovation through programs, labs, and developing leaders to solve challenges. Kenyatta University engages in several social innovation initiatives including a business incubation center, funeral home, legal aid clinic, supporting orphans, student work programs, and building a teaching hospital. It emphasizes the importance of partnerships, leadership, and institutionalizing creativity to promote social innovation.
Budd l hall
The document discusses social innovation and transformative change in higher education. It argues that social innovation often ignores power imbalances and fails to build community capacity for change. True social change requires higher education to challenge injustice, environmental degradation, and inequality through transformative knowledge that values multiple ways of knowing. It calls for universities to form equal partnerships with communities and social movements to co-create knowledge aimed at sustainable, inclusive development. The document recommends that higher education educate citizens committed to ethical values and social responsibility by linking teaching, research, and engagement to real-world problems through participatory learning.
Patricia gudino
The document discusses the establishment of the Inter-American Network of Co-Laboratories in Social Innovation (REDICIS) by the Inter-American Organization for Higher Education (IOHE). REDICIS aims to encourage knowledge sharing and partnerships between higher education institutions working in social innovation. It currently includes 14 universities and 5 organizations across 9 countries in the Americas. The network seeks to consolidate reference centers for social innovation, develop training in the field, and support decision-making around measuring, evaluating, and funding social innovation initiatives.

The document discusses social innovation at the University of Gothenburg. It notes that global challenges require new solutions and universities are well-positioned partners. The University of Gothenburg has strong interdisciplinary research and education, a focus on sustainable development, and a history of stakeholder collaboration. It provides support for social innovation projects that address societal problems through knowledge and are sustainable over time. An example success story is the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-centred Care, which improved patient care while reducing costs through interdisciplinary research. Challenges include understanding societal problems and increasing investment in certain fields of study.

This document discusses social innovation and its relationship to social impact. It explores how social innovation can drive systemic change through four elements: being purpose driven, viewed as a new phenomenon, led by communities, and through developing equipped ecosystems. The document also examines challenges and perspectives for social innovation in higher education, including the need for theoretical and practical knowledge, motivation, transdisciplinary work, and strategic development. Finally, it poses questions about how institutions can transition towards new collaborations and whether they are currently part of the problem or solution regarding social innovation.
Mireille mathieu
The document discusses measuring the impact of social innovation. It makes three key points:
1. Measuring the impact of social innovation is challenging due to its complex, long-term nature and dependence on social contexts.
2. Universities should better support the evaluation of social innovation through monitoring inputs/outputs, using relevant indicators, and developing new evaluation models like developmental evaluation.
3. Networks like OLTIS, CLT, and RQIS in Quebec help catalyze social innovation and support its evaluation through knowledge transfer between researchers and communities.

The document summarizes the 6th Global Meeting of Associations held in Montreal from 6-8 May 2015. It discusses GUNi's membership network and projects focusing on analyzing the dual responsibilities of universities at local and global scales. Key areas of focus include identifying best practices for universities to improve social, cultural, and economic impact locally and globally while addressing conflicts between local/global demands. International expert working groups will be formed among UNESCO chairs and city-university partnerships to test frameworks in Catalonia and make recommendations.
Louis lévesque
The document discusses social innovation, specifically regarding drone technology. It notes that drones have promising economic and social applications, and their use could create significant economic opportunities. However, several challenges around regulation, safety, privacy, and public acceptance must be overcome to realize the benefits of drone technology. Social innovation requires collaboration between government, academia, the private sector, and communities. Government can play various roles in supporting social innovation from regulating to enabling to endorsing.
Dzulkifli
The document discusses social innovation and its place in higher education for sustainability. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Social innovation moves from an unsustainable model of separate disciplines to a transdisciplinary approach that provides a more comprehensive understanding. Higher education needs to become more future-oriented, challenge existing approaches, and focus on community through practices like social innovation to work toward a more balanced and sustainable model.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.An Overview of the Prosocial dHEDGE Vault works

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio Problem
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

- 1. Jane KNIGHT Adjunct Professor, Comparative International Development Education Centre, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada Speech International Conference Alexandria, Egypt 15-16 November 2005 Bionote Dr. Jane Knight focuses her research and professional interests on the international dimension of higher education at the institutional, system, national and international levels. Her work in many countries of the world helps to bring a comparative, development and international policy perspective to her research. In addition to her involvement with regional comparative studies of international education (Latin America, Asia Pacific, North America, Europe) with OECD and the World Bank, she is currently examining key policy issues such as cross-border education, trade agreements, brain drain and strategic alliances. She is an adjunct professor at Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto. She currently is undertaking research in Mexico as part of National Centre for the Evaluation of Education (CENEVAL) and is an associate at the Centre for Inter-American Studies and Programs at the Autonomous Institute of Technology in Mexico (ITAM). Abstract IAU 2005 Internationalisation Survey – Preliminary Findings In 2005, IAU conducted its second survey on the status of internationalisation practice and issues in Higher Education Institutions and Associations around the world. This presentation provided some highlights of the survey findings in terms of rationales, benefits, priorities, risks, challenges as identified by higher education actors in 93 countries. Information and opinions on new developments related to cross-border education, implications of GATS, quality assurance and recognition of qualifications were also highlighted. Comparisons with the 2003 IAU Internationalisation survey, plus similarities and differences among regions and between developed and developing countries were addressed. Two reports presenting the final results of the 2005 IAU Survey are being prepared and will be released in early 2006.
