Course Description
Higher education is currently facing tremendous difficulties, which are fuelled by the internet's rapid expansion, higher education's rising globalisation, and the ever-present question of institutional quality. Leading change has become an ever-present reality for leaders in the higher education sector. The traditional pattern of instructional providing is being broken by new types of educational delivery via virtual networks. Higher education is being redefined by new players. The rules are changing, and higher education institutions are under more pressure to adapt.
As we embrace change as a constant it is important that we engage on how we can address this in our own context. The course offers an opportunity for engagement, influential conversations, and reflection as we seek to find tangible solutions for the challenges we face.
