TL;DR: The impact of globalisation on higher education is discussed in this paper, where the authors highlight how globalisation is affecting higher education in developing countries, the nations that will experience the bulk of higher education expansion in the coming decades.
Abstract: Much has been said about the impact of globalisation on higher education. Some have argued that globalisation, the Internet and the scientific community will level the playing field in the new age of knowledge interdependence. Others claim that globalisation means both worldwide inequality and the McDonaldisation of the university. It is argued that all of the contemporary pressures on higher education, from the pressures of massification to the growth of the private sector, are the results of globalisation. There is a grain of truth in all of these hypotheses ‐ and a good deal of misinterpretation as well. The purpose of this essay is to “unpack” the realities of globalisation and internationalisation in higher education and to highlight some of the ways in which globalisation affects the university. Of special interest here is how globalisation is affecting higher education in developing countries ‐ the nations that will experience the bulk of higher education expansion in the coming decades.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a broad, critical examination of the potential impact of online learning management systems on teaching and learning in universities and discuss the possible effects of LMS on teaching practices, on student engagement, on the nature of academic work and on the control over academic knowledge.
Abstract: The rapid uptake of campus-wide Learning Management Systems (LMS) is changing the character of the on-campus learning experience. The trend towards LMS as an adjunct to traditional learning modes has been the subject of little research beyond technical analyses of alternative software systems. Drawing on Australian experience, this paper presents a broad, critical examination of the potential impact of these online systems on teaching and learning in universities. It discusses in particular the possible effects of LMS on teaching practices, on student engagement, on the nature of academic work and on the control over academic knowledge.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the development of the "employability" agenda in higher education, examines the nature and implication of organisational change for graduates and assesses what attributes graduates will need in the next decade.
Abstract: The paper addresses one aspect of the ‘New Realities’ of higher education: the employer‐higher education interface. It explores the development of the ‘employability’ agenda in higher education, examines the nature and implication of organisational change for graduates and assesses what attributes graduates will need in the next decade. Flexible organisations need flexible, and increasingly empowered employees; that in turn calls for transformative and empowering learning. The way that higher education might address this, particularly in the context of lifelong learning, is explored.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence and impact of university rankings are discussed. But despite their popularity, how much do we really know and understand about the influence of rankings? And how much is known about the impact of rankings on students, parents, policymakers, employers, and other stakeholders for information and transparency.
Abstract: University rankings have gained popularity worldwide because they appear to fulfil demands by students, parents, policymakers, employers, and other stakeholders for information and transparency. They are often equated with quality, and are now a significant factor shaping institutional reputation. Today, there are eleven global rankings, experiencing varying degrees of popularity, reliability and trustworthiness, and national rankings in over 40 countries. Despite their popularity, how much do we really know and understand about the influence and impact of rankings?
