In this commentary I provide an overview of the national award program, the Australian Awards for University Teachers (AAUT), that has been running for 23 years. The current federal government has made the decision not to fund the awards after 2021, a decision I believe is not only short-sighted but could be damaging for Australia in the global education market. I argue that the benefits of the awards are widespread in higher education. They recognise and reward creativity and innovation, they have created a culture of collaboration and mentoring that extends across universities and states, and most of all they validate the importance of good quality teaching in universities, providing a recognition and promotion pathway to match that of research awards. I propose three possible options to continue support for this valuable award program and encourage senior academics and past award winners to work as a group and pursue replacement funding and a sustainable management model for this program. The AAUT awards have an integral role in promoting creativity and innovation in teaching and learning, as well as the ripple effect of open promotion pathways, and collaborations across and between universities and across and between disciplines.

Technological advances, globalisation, changing demographics and privatisation are the main driving forces behind the current transformation of education. Market research firms estimate that electronic learning or e-learning is the fastest growing sector of the global education market with an annual growth rate of 10-15% (Hezel Associates, 2005)

Kappan’s editor talks with Queensland University researcher Anna Hogan about the rapid growth of commercial activity in Australia’s schools and in school systems around the world. Private businesses have always sold textbooks, classroom tools, and other goods and services to public schools, and many teachers are happy to purchase and use them, notes Hogan. However, the biggest corporations in the education market — such as Pearson and Google — have grown so large, and are so eager to promote online schools and automated instruction, that teachers have reason to be concerned about the future of their profession, and the public has reason to worry that the quality of their schools will decline.

Education Market

The education becomes a necessity, rather than an option. In addition, the competition in the knowledge and education market is increasingly stronger. In this respect, educational institutions begin to operate as entrepreneurial organizations, with a strong tendency towards the internationalization of their business activities. Educational franchises become global trend, bearing in mind that they are focused not only on achieving business goals, but also on achieving social goals, such as education and dissemination of knowledge. Despite numerous literature about franchising, the field of educational franchising is still insufficiently researched. The aim of the paper is to point out the importance of educational franchising and its role in the internationalization of education, both in the sector of formal and in the sector of non-formal education, and to determine the influence of internal factors from the domain of age, size and areas of providing educational services on the internationalization of educational franchises.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the state of French medium sized business schools in the Grandes Ecole sector of education and how networks and alliances help business schools survive in an ever-changing and global environment. Design/methodology/approach The material for empirical research for this paper was gathered by using a case study method of four small to medium sized provincial Institutions of Management Education in France. Findings The paper demonstrates that all of the business schools studied rely on networks and alliances to face globalisation and internationalise their strategy and seems to follow the three typologies of mergers and acquisitions set down by Napier (1989): extension mergers, collaborative mergers and redesign mergers. At present, the networks and alliances are used on a marginal or peripheral way by networking only a part of the institution at one time. Research limitations/implications Further research at a later date needs to be carried out in order to observe if the pattern will remain or if there may be networks which will start from the core of the institution since the organisations will in the future have more of an international or global culture. Originality/value The value of this paper is to demonstrate that medium-sized business schools can compensate their limited resources and compete in the global education market. Alliances and networks appear as key ways in achieving goals of sustainability and survival.

I en tid, hvor økonomien er under pres i den danske uddannelsessektor, og hvor ønsket om rationalisering af undervisningen går hånd i hånd med et ønske om øget kvalitet gennem yderligere digitalisering, bliver spørgsmålet om inddragelse af MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) interessant. En MOOC er et gratis kursustilbud uden adgangsbegrænsning og uden begrænsning i deltagerantal. Litteraturen (Barbour, 2012; Kim, 2012) viser, at flere universiteter relativt hovedkulds, og måske mest af frygt for ikke at få en central placering i kapløbet om de internationale studerende, har kastet sig over denne uddannelses- og kursusform. Som et bidrag til en kvalificeret drøftelse af perspektiverne for MOOCs i UC-sektoren beskriver denne artikel fænomenet og diskuterer læringsmæssige perspektiver rettet mod det globale marked for uddannelse. Målet er gennem et litteratur-review og erfaringer fra deltagelse i et antal MOOCs at afdække, hvad det kræver at udbyde en MOOC, hvad andre har gjort, hvem der udbyder, hvem der deltager, og hvilke perspektiver der kunne være for de nordiske lande.Abstract in EnglishDue to an increasing financial pressure in the Danish educational sector and a demand for rationalization as well as higher quality through digitization, the question of whether or not to adopt MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) becomes interesting. A MOOC is a free, online course offered to all with no entry level demands and with no limitation on participant numbers. Studies (Barbour, 2012; Kim, 2012) show that several universities have plunged into this type of courses relatively headlong, perhaps mainly driven by fear of losing out in the competition for international students.  With the intention of contributing to an informed discussion of the university college perspectives of MOOCs, this article describes the phenomenon and discusses its peda-gogical perspectives in the context of the global education market. Through a literature review as well as hands-on participation in a number of MOOCs, the aim is to uncover what it takes to offer a MOOC, what others have done, who the providers are, who the participants are, and what perspectives MOOCs might hold in a Scandinavian context.
