Digitalisation, Quality and Trust in Higher Education
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated change in the higher education sector across the globe and has required huge efforts and commitments on the political, institutional and individual level. During this period higher education was considered, maybe more than ever, as an essential sector. Providing critical information and, contributing to the delivery of scientifically based solutions to help societies overcome this global crisis, universities also simultaneously maintained core educational activities to secure the academic future of the next student generation. This required a high level of innovation, adaptivity and creativity. The book is centred on three main themes linked to transformation and change in higher education: digitalisation, quality and trust. The transformative power of the pandemic has raised concerns and questions of each of them.

Abstract

The evolving societal, political and economic landscape has led to increased demands on higher education institutions to make their contribution and benefit to society more visible, and in many cases with fewer public resources. European and national policy developments call for the university to embrace a transformation process and to be more proactive in strengthening our critical stance and role as a knowledge institution and champion for truth, evidence and science. This book has offered a comprehensive review of the higher education sector’s responsibilities for the traditional university tri-partite mission: teaching and learning; research and scholarship; and public service and engagement. Three parts can be identified in the book. The first part discusses higher education’s students and staff; the second part discusses higher education systems; the third part focuses on higher education impact.
