Описание: The world has spent the majority of 2020 enduring an unpreceded crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of this crisis has been enormous, and the situation has yet to be resolved. It is still difficult to anticipate when the pandemic will end and how our lives will have changed after the crisis. Higher educational institutions (HEIs) have also had to undergo tremendous transformation, in particular, changing a conventional educational, teaching, and learning system to a digital and online mode and cancelling or postponing important events such as graduation and entrance ceremonies and entrance examinations. In addition, a number of HEIs have been facing financial constraints due to reduced enrolment, particularly from overseas. Students have missed opportunities to meet their family and friends, causing profound psychosocial impact and stress for all concerned. Simultaneously, however, the situation has given HEIs a good opportunity to consider their disaster preparedness, response, and recovery capacity on campus. Some surveys have highlighted a lack of preparedness for pandemic and other hazardous risks beyond natural hazards. Safety issues are a top priority at HEIs because they bring together a number of students, faculty, and staff. This book covers the experiences and lessons learned from HEIs in preparedness, response, and recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic to prepare for such calamities beyond natural disasters in the future. The book consists of 15 chapters divided into three major sections. They highlight the importance of HEIs’ governance issues in disaster risk management, examine the challenges that HEIs have faced during the pandemic and the implementation of new teaching and learning methodologies, and provide innovative responses and preparedness by HEIs based on science and technology, respectively.
Описание: This book examines the extent to which social media marketing influences the customer-based brand equity of higher education institutes. Higher education institutions operate in a strong competitive environment due to the homogenous nature of their services and always look for new marketing strategies to be competitive in the marketplace. Therefore, building customer-based brand equity has become crucial for higher education institutions to differentiate themselves from others to attract prospective students. Social media-based marketing facilitated prospective students to communicate and collaborate to gather information relevant to higher education institutions and their respective brand equity. However, many models on customer-based brand equity received limited support in the higher education sector, particularly in emerging Asian countries. As such, drawing from social information processing theory, this book empirically investigates how higher education institutions can develop customer-based brand equity by using social media marketing and subjective norms mediated by brand credibility, taking cross-country comparisons between Sri Lanka and Vietnam. The book goes on to examine the applications and implications of the findings for higher education institutions in developing branding strategies through social media.
Описание: For over 200 years Black colleges and universities have anchored the African American community. The legacy of these institutions has been to equip African Americans with the skills needed to be successful leaders. This book considers the leadership of Bishop Daniel Alexander Payne of Wilberforce University and Rev. Dr. Joseph Robert of Morehouse College as pioneers of Black higher education.
This book aims to respond to the research question: if quality of leadership is the most important element in the production of a quality college or university then what are the important variables, incidents, and/or circumstances that result in quality amongst Black higher educational institutions? Important dimensions of this book are the data collection and analysis of artifacts that uncover Presidents Payne and Robert’s leadership style and approach. Comparing and contrasting their leadership dynamics, this book adds a second dimension by assessing these presidents’ use of servant leadership in creating servant institutions.
Throughout the narrative, the reader is immersed in the telling of Presidents Payne and Robert’s development as pioneers of Black higher education. Experiencing the challenges and triumphs of each through the telling of their personal and professional contributions, this book is one-of-a kind. Carefully weaving together primary source materials throughout the narrative, this book ensures the reader is informed of the various complexities of leadership within Black higher education post-Civil War. By book’s end, the reader is guided through a masterfully written, comparative historical study that uncovers surprising similarities and differences between the presidents and the colleges.
Overall this book offers insight into the unique experiences of founding leaders in Black higher education in the United Sates. This book reintroduces to the world two immensely influential thinkers, educators and religious leaders whose ideas, decisions, sacrifices and legacies have and continue to impact generations of African American leaders.

Описание: Multiple scholars and practitioners provide models and theories to understand the inter-organizational relationships between businesses and higher education. This work illuminates the complexities, expectations and long-term impact of such relationships.
Описание: Quality in higher education was not invented in recent decades - universities have always possessed mechanisms for assuring the quality of their work. The rising concern over quality is closely related to the changes in higher education and its social context. Among others, the most conspicuous changes are the massive expansion, diversification, and increased cost in higher education and the new mechanisms of accountability initiated by the state. With these changes, the traditional, internally enacted academic quality-keeping has been given an important external dimension - quality assurance - which requires higher education institutions to continuously demonstrate and improve performance and also provides new systems of rewards and sanctions. However, the complex impacts of quality assurance policies have shown a need to further understand the quality issue in higher education.
This book is about constructing a more inclusive understanding of quality in higher education through combining the macro, meso, and micro levels, i.e. from the perspectives of national policy, higher education institutions as organizations in society, individual teaching staff, and students. It covers both theoretical constructions for understanding quality and empirical investigation in the Chinese context. The questions addressed include:
- How is quality of higher education perceived by the institution, teaching staff. and students, respectively? - What are the main concerns for the institution, teaching staff, and students in their own pursuit of quality?
It has been concluded that quality of higher education is not only about educational quality but also about expanding the life chances for the students, the prosperity in the administrative system for the teaching staff, and the organizational prosperity for the institution. With regard to quality assurance and accountability in higher education, special attention should be given to the values pursued and to providing a careful balance between immediate, single-value efficiency and sustainable development and a wider-range of values that higher education serves.

This book uses the life stories of principals of higher education institutions in Barbados to assert that since lives are socially constructed and our biographies or stories can influence our professional life, it is important to not only listen to the personal stories or narratives of those whose professional lives and actions have public social consequences but more importantly through a life history methodology, also to contextualize those stories. In so doing there is better understanding of what motives or values persons bring to their professional practice, particularly too, if those missions and values emanate from a colonial hegemony still in existence within a postcolonial society. Persons could be causing harm or doing what is beneficial. They need to know what they are perpetuating and why. This book is primarily for those with interests in domination, power, capitalism, colonialism and neocolonialism; those planning professional development courses for teachers, principals and administrators in the field of education and other areas of professional practice; life history researchers; auto-ethnographers; postgraduate students and qualitative researchers in higher education, specifically and education, generally.

“Jean Butcher-Lashley has made a unique contribution to the literature around teachers’ lives and careers in general and those of Caribbean teachers in particular. Taking a decolonising life history which considers individuals’ personal and professional narratives in the contexts of the times through which they lived, this fascinating book gives important insights into how and why Barbadian higher education principals’ careers evolved as they did and what the consequences for the country’s education system have been.”—Pat Sikes, Professor of Qualitative Inquiry, University of Sheffield

“This book is of considerable importance, not just in the contingent area of understanding Barbadian higher education principals’ motives and missions—but because it takes an important life history approach. This approach looks at de-colonising the accounts that are given, so as to give us a broader picture of how professional life histories are conceptualised and constructed. The book essentially contextualises each of the life history profiles, in a way that allows us to see the effect of colonisation and the effect of time and place on the way that people story their professional lives. This is part of a broader project which well elucidated in the book on ‘Understanding Pervasive Patterns of Domination'. The book stands as a useful antidote to those kinds of narrative studies which ignore context and simply concentrate on voice. To make sure that 'voice' is an empowering genre—it is important that 'voice' is located in its contextual landscape. This book is an exemplary piece of work that does this work of contextualising, both energetically and with great erudition. I heartily recommend the book to any readers in life history approaches generally, or those interested in issues of decolonisation and domination.” —Ivor Goodson, Professor of Learning Theory, University of Brighton, Sussex, England
