Leadership in higher education: 14 pieces of food for thought

Posted on by

A useful little article from the Guardian HE network on some leadership tips.

There’s nothing here that might not already have been covered in LFHE courses, or in our own Leading for Success programme.

The article usefully concludes with a summary of desirable leadership qualities:

“Humility, competence, ability to simultaneously ‘own’ issues/stories and still give credit to those who did the hard work. Political skill, both internally and externally, is good . Never losing sight of the bigger picture, the ability to think and act strategically, compassion and a sense of humour”

Venture Capital and MOOCs

Posted on by

In “Venture Capital’s Massive, Terrible Idea For The Future Of College“, Maria Bustillos highlights some of the more interesting and less sensational issues around MOOCs.

She includes reference to a debate between” Aaron Bady and Clay Shirky who had an exchange recently on Inside Higher Ed that sheds light on the current thinking regarding MOOCs among academics.

“The two represent a certain polarity within the academy. Bady, known on Twitter and in the blogosphere aszunguzungu, is a Ph.D. student in African literature at UC Berkeley, where he teaches; he’s also a well-known writer on politics and culture. For all the edginess of his style and his high profile on social media, Bady is a newly-minted prof in the classic mold: a scholar largely concerned with learning (and teaching) from the past. Shirky, though he has taught at NYU for over a decade, is a hypermodern public intellectual and author, a mandarin of the Internet, focused on the future.”

The views of these two well know protagonists are expounded, together with an indication of where they agree. A useful diversion is provided of Richard Feynman teaching polarisation of light – always going to appeal to a physical scientist.

But in Maria’s concluding comments, we see:

“MOOCs are an essentially authoritarian structure; a one-way process in which the student is a passive recipient required to do nothing except “learn.” What he “learns” is only useful if it results in direct, measurable economic production. (Hence, for example, a degree in literature has an economic value of zero.) As a convenient by-product, the purveyors of this “education” can be “incentivized” by the profit motive. The invisible hand at work once again.

Or we can look at education as an interactive process whereby the job of the teacher is to encourage the student to think, thereby introducing him to an adult world in which he may devise a contributon of his own making.”

 

“Let’s put ourselves in the undergraduate student’s position. Someone eighteen years old, embarking on an academic career, might well ask: Will this world welcome me, welcome my potential abilities? Or am I being trained for a life on a hamster wheel? Is my value simply the value of a hamster that can run, a bioform for the Matrix to plug into and extract my essence for the benefit of a larger machine? Is this world full of possibilities, is it asking me to contribute, welcoming my contribution, valuing me for the things known and unknown that I may one day be able to contribute? Or am I being wronged from the start, treated as a “customer,” which all too often means, alas, someone to fleece?

Is the world full of smart and welcoming adults who are interested in what I have to say, encouraging me to work hard and learn and try things, or is it full of thieves and charlatans who are out to rip me off and saddle me with debt and enslave me before I even get a chance to start my adult life??

Let’s consider this from the educator’s point of view, as well. Doesn’t the quality of a culture rely in part on a deep, dynamic interaction between those who are adults now, and those who will be soon?”

The Week University (As We Know It) Ended – or more on MOOCs

Posted on by

The Week University (As We Know It) Ended was published in the Huffington Post, and is one of the most florid tub-thumping articles for MOOCs I have yet read.

Don Tapscott, reporting from Davos, writes:

“At one session here at Davos, the presidents of Harvard, Stanford and MIT all readily acknowledged that the experiments in new models of online learning will soon radically disrupt higher learning.

One expert suggested many universities are facing the early days of bankruptcy. Another predicted there may only be 10 universities that survive this transition.”

Wow. Just 10 universities.

Mind you  in the same article he refers to Sebastian Thrun ” Google vice-president. He led the team that developed the Google self-driving cars that have circled the globe taking pictures of streetscapes for its Street View service.”.

Google has developed a self driving car. Fact. Google have produced streetscapes using Street View. fact. Google HAVE NOT used self driving cars to photograph streetscapes. This is poorly researched journalistic hyperbole.

Maybe the rest of his article should be treated with a suitably large pinch of salt.

The Gender Gap at Universities – what students choose to study

Posted on by

Published on the Guardian datablog site today, some data about gender of students, the subjects that they study and their attainment .

The table below shows the changes in student numbers over the last 5 years, both by gender and total number of students

Interesting points? The only subject areas to show overall decline are computer science and combined awards. the latter can be explained by the he move fo so many institutions towards a tighter more managed portfolio of awards. The former is a worry – we know that there is a shortage of well qualified computer scientists, and we have the very real problem of working with schools to get young people to recognise what the subject is  actually about (not ICT!)

This week’s news on MOOCs

Posted on by

And still MOOCs are the dish of the day, in meetings around HEIs, and in the pages of the Higher.

I have to confess to having decided which side of the fence I sit on (although I might be persuaded to change) – MOOCs may  look great, but they are not for every University to pursue, and they won’t sound the death knell for every University, despite Clay Shirky saying this is the Naptster moment for higher education. Napster changed the music industry  but it didn’t kill it – people still go out to buy the music experiences they need. And these aren’t just digital downloads – a live gig is still pretty important!

Anyway, onto this week’s coverage.

Firstly the VC of Cambridge warns of massive threat posed by MOOCs. saying that ” less prestigious universities that focused on teaching rather than research could struggle in the face of new online courses. For those in the knowledge-transfer system, there are troubled times ahead.”. However, ” online courses did not pose a threat to Cambridge because they could not replicate the debate and discussion central to the university’s tutorial system”. So that’s alright then. Of course, MOOCs also won’t be able to replace what we do in our studios, in our labs, our workshops, our seminar sessions, and yes – in our personal tutorials. If we are smart, what we will do is exploit the existing digital resources out there, and base our proposition on the support we give to students, and the importance of the social aspects of learning.

In the same week in the Higher, “Online study certificates go on sale, but Coursera’s Andrew Ng tells Chris Parr they won’t match traditional degrees“. Coursera has started to charge for accreditation of completion of some of its online courses, but one of the founders of the company recognises that this  will never be as valuable as the currency of a traditional degree from a prestigious university. He does point out the benefit to existing graduates of using MOOCs to top up and refresh knowledge, and to receive certification that have done so.

Leadership in Higher Education – a new publication

Posted on by

An old friend and onetime colleague of mine who publishes a popular blog has written about a recent Leadership Foundation publication on “What do we know about leadership in higher education.”

Dr Greatrix writes that “We seem to be clutching at straws in trying to establish whether there is any evidence for leadership benefiting universities in terms of their core activities:

Evidence of the impact of leadership on the extent and quality of research, learning and enterprise is rather slim.

Moreover, university staff inevitably have contrasting views on what effectiveness means, what its characteristics are and indeed whether individuals can even be described in this way:

What works in one context will not necessarily work ?in another, and equally may be judged as effective? and ineffective in the same context. As in the wider literature, the research generates lists of characteristics ?of effective leaders that are somewhat idealised and apolitical. Oppositional narratives underpin estimates of effectiveness; a rational narrative stresses data-driven, command and control, while an alternative prizes an open- ended and fluid creation of space in which autonomy can flourish. Effectiveness is currently related to individuals, but might be more usefully applied to units.”

This might all be a little depressing, particularly for universities who have invested significant amounts of time and money in leadership development for their senior staff. Personally  I find the short mantra of Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones (authors of “Why Should Anyone be Led by You”) a useful way of viewing leadership – Be Yourself, More, With Skill.

 

 

 

More on BME Attainment

Posted on by

One of the reasons I look at this is because I am tasked with trying to increase the number of “good” degrees, ie 1sts and 2(i)s that we award.

It is obvious that if certain groups of students are less successful than others, then we need to understand why, and in so doing make sure that that all of our students have the same opportunities to succeed.

The Higher (24th January 2013) in an article “Black students reluctant to seek aid”, suggests that a reason for lower attainment might be because of a reluctance to seek help from lecturers. the suggestion is that unversities need to be more proactive in ensuring that black students access the academic support on offer.

 

In an era of increasing class sizes, this will be a challenge – if we can develop personal tutoring systems or encourage enough small group teaching  with formative feedback opportunities, we may be better placed  to identify when any of our students need extra support.

More details of the research carried out by Jacqueline Stevenson of Leeds Met can be downloaded from here.

Different Approaches to KIS

Posted on by

Next week I am delivering a session to one of our faulty management teams on Key Information Sets (KIS) – specifically trying to help colleagues generate a better understanding,  especially of what data can and can’t be influenced by the university.

Ultimately, all of the factors reported can be influenced – they only show what has been previously measured  either by an institutional response specific to KIS, through HESA returns, or through the opinions and outcomes of our former students.

As Graham Gibbs has pointed out – see earlier post – the factors being measured and reported do not necessarily represent those, that would necessarily lead to educational gains for students  after interventions.

However, I was interested to see what our two main rivals (hem hem) Oxford and Cambridge do….

Cambridge, under each KIS widget, provide a list of reasons why KIS should not be considered in isolation, and may not be the most useful way of making comparisons.

Oxford on the other hand are more direct. They have their own graphic  right above the KIS one with a clear statement of what their students will get. Maybe we could do the same with Staffordshire Graduate?

UCAS Enrolment figures for 2011 and 2012 – lessons to be learnt?

Posted on by

The latest UCAS figures for the last cycles of enrollments and acceptances has been published, and commented upon in the Higher.

“Data released by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service on 18 January reveal the full extent of shortfalls in undergraduate numbers by institution, showing that the government’s reforms have produced often wild variations in recruitment.

The figures relate to acceptances, meaning actual enrolments could be different. They also include overseas students who applied via Ucas. However, the data do not include students who applied directly (via access courses, for example).

Some in the sector suggest that declining post-1992 university figures indicate that students from disadvantaged backgrounds are most likely to decide against higher education with higher fees”

although

“The post-1992s that increased their intake appear to be largely drawn from those that won places under the margin system, which reallocates places to cheaper institutions.”

 

The table below shows the percentage change between 2011 and 2012, sorted by size of change. Staffs comes out pretty much mid-table this way, and it is interesting to see where our competitors are.
