State Consortia Models: How Everyone WinsMarty Bennett
This presentation was given at the EducationUSA Forum 2013 in Washington DC. Panelists included John Wilkerson from University of Missouri-Columbia, Dawn Wood from Kirkwood Community College, and Lokesh Shivakumariah from Mississippi State University.
The 11 Pacific Island countries of the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu have a combined population of about 2.3m people, spread across hundreds of islands over an area equivalent to 15% of the earth’s surface. As small island economies, the Pacific Island countries face a range of challenges. They have limited natural resources and narrowly-based economies which are geographically remote from the world’s major markets. They are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, notably rising sea levels and increasingly intense cyclones. At the same time, higher education in the region, notably in Fiji which is the region’s most populous country, is developing very rapidly.
This presentation reviews the role of local and global partnerships in supporting the development of higher education in the Pacific, with particular reference to the role of the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) in the region. With more than 500 member institutions in over 50 countries, the ACU brings together some of the most long-established and well-funded universities with relatively new institutions in some of the world’s poorest and smallest countries. Yet despite differences in size, resources and cultures, the common language and systems of the Commonwealth offer a considerable advantage and create unique opportunities for collaborative research and student/staff mobility. Using examples from the Pacific, this presentation will explore the ACU's wider initiatives to connect, convene, and seed change, including a new network to encourage those countries most affected by climate change to pool experience and expertise, and programmes to create new opportunities – and new dynamics – within international student mobility.

Mobile phones, including smartphones, are becoming ubiquitous even in resource poor countries. Their size and portability make them ideal for many clinical applications, but there are as yet very few mobile phone applications specifically designed for medical education. This project involves the design and implementation of a mobile knowledge sharing application in nurse education in Kenya. This application, MyNCP (or “My Nursing Care Plan”), developed using HTML5, allows trainee nurses working in remote areas to collect data and helps them in making diagnoses. This data can be recorded and/or shared with tutors and fellow trainees. E-learning materials can be made available to the students through the phones, and nursing tutors can use the submitted data and plans to tailor their support and develop further resources. Initial evaluation of the tool has shown it to have been implemented successfully.

Research in Distance Education: impact on practice conference, 27 October 2010. Opening keynote by Dr Josie Taylor of the Open University: Open Educational Resources and Learning Spaces: research questions.
This lecture is part of the HUMANE Winter School hosted by the Barcelona School of Management in March 2024.
HUMANE (https://www.humane.eu) is Europe’s international network of higher education professionals. It aims to build global networks of professionals, foster innovation in higher education services and drive professional excellence in higher education management.
This lecture addresses the following questions:
1. What are the drivers of the internationalisation of higher education?
2. What are the benefits of internationalisation?
3. How has internationalisation led to the commercialisation of higher education in Anglophone countries?
4. How are the factors shaping the internationalisation of higher education changing?
It uses the University of Limerick's new "Action through Partnership: Global Engagement Strategy 2023-28" to illustrate the challenges and trade-offs when trying to balance internationalisation with a commitment to sustainable development and global social justice.

This presentation at the Hellenic Open University Symposium on Open Universities in November 2015 sets out an argument for concern that the forward march of open universities in Europe may be threatened. The need for capacity for Higher Education in the developing countries, proposed by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, will need a radical transformation of quality and student success in order for ODEL and open universities to play a full role.
This presentation examines the challenges for the distance and e-learning community to become prisoners of our own identity if we fail to understand the changing landscape from distance learning to open education. Distance and e-;learning is no longer an independent field, but an important part of a larger field of open education.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

• Change and continuities for the direction of student
support for the future

support (Tait 2000)
• Support to students to achieve their goals
