Globalisasi, sebagai suatu proses integrasi internasional, terjadi karena pertukaran pandangan dunia dalam berbagai sektor. Di Indonesia gelombang globalisasi sudah bergerak lebih dari 25 tahun. Tumbuh dan berkembangnya memberikan pengaruh terhadap berbagai sisi kehidupan bangsa dengan semua  atribut budayanya. Di bidang pendidikan, globalisasi memiliki dampak yang cukup besar bagi perubahan pada sistem atau model pembelajaran dan kurikulum yang diajarkan. Era industri kreatif yang digulirkan oleh pemerintah melalui Menteri Perdagangan RI waktu itu masih dijabat oleh Dr. Mari Elka Pangestu, telah  memberikan peluang seluas-luasnya bagi pendidikan tinggi seni agar dapat berfungsi sebagai salah satu pilar bagi pertumbuhan ekonomi kreatif di Indonesia.Indonesia sudah memiliki kantong-kantong institusi dan perusahaan yang dapat menjadi mitra bagi para lulusan pendidikan seni. Para talenta yang kreatif dan terampil lulusan pendidikan seni adalah sumber daya manusia yang diperlukan bagi sektor industri kreatif di masa mendatang. Karya film dan program acara televisi sebagai karya seni yang memiliki standart estetika, di dalamnya terdapat gagasan, pengolahan artistik, matrialisasi, pengalaman teknik dan manajemen produksi, yang  proses produksinya  membutuhkan sekelompok atau individu sumberdaya manusia berkualitas dengan tingkat  pendidikan setara diploma dan sarjana. Kemudian juga dengan  televisi apabila sudah masuk ke dalam rana industri kapitalis, tentu akan berdampak pada bagi masyarakatnya, seperti yang dijelaskan oleh Redatin Parwadi untuk menciptakan perilaku konsumtif bagi konsumennya inilah, televisi mempunyai peran yang sangat penting baik sebagai media ataupun sebagai alat bagi kaum kapitalis untuk mengkonstruksi pikiran konsumen. Sejalan dengan konsep HAKI yang melindungi kualitas  karya cipta  anak bangsa dari originalitas dan eksistensinya, tentu lembaga pendidikan seni memiliki peran penting di dalam melahirkan sumberdaya manusia yang mampu menghasilkan karya seni  kreatif dan inovatif. Maka dewasa ini, di Indonesia sudah saatnya menerapkan konsep  pendidikan multikulturalisme berbasis budaya lokal yang dapat menjadi salah satu alternatif untuk membangun kearifan lokal menuju kebudayaan dunia. Art Education of Film and Television as Actuation in the Creative Economy Industry for the Lecturers of Television Department, Faculty of Recorded Media Arts ISI Yogyakarta. Globalization, as a process of international integration, occurs because there is an exchange of the world’s view in some sectors. In Indonesia, the wave of globalization has been ongoing for more than 25 years. Its growth and development have given influence to all aspects of nation’s life with its cultural attributes. In education, globalization has a quite big impact for the shift of system or learning model and the taught curriculum. The era of creative industry launchedby the government through the Indonesian Minister of Trade which was once held by Dr. Mari Elka Pangestu, has now given a vast opportunity for higher education in art to be one of the pillars for the growth of creative economy in Indonesia. Indonesia has certain institutions and companies that could be partners for the graduates of art school. Creative talents andskillful graduates from art school are the necessary human resources for creative industry sector in the future. Films and television programs as works of art which has standardized aesthetics, therein we could find ideas, artistic process, materialization, technique and production management experience, whose production processes need a group of people or qualified human resources holding diplomas of bachelor degree and bachelor of honors or those in equivalence. When television is admitted into capitalist’s industry, it will affect the society, as stated by Redatin Parwadi, to create a consumptive behavior for the consumers,television has an important part both as media and as means for the capitalists to construct the mind of the consumers. In accordance with the concept of HAKI (intellectual rights) to protect the quality of copyrights owned by the nations’ generation with their originality and existence, higher education of arts has a very significant role in creating human resources who are able to create creative and innovative works of art. Nowadays, Indonesia has already applied multiculturalism education concept on the basis of local wisdom that could be one ofalternatives to build local wisdom into world’s culture.

This is an empirical investigation considering how the Knowledge Transfer Openness Matrix (KTOM) could facilitate accessibility and Knowledge Transfer (KT) for the UK Higher Education (HE) Management Education Teaching when utilising learning technologies. Its focus is where learning technologies applications currently assist the KT process and support accessibility for the HE teacher and learner. It considers the philosophy of openness, focusing on its usefulness to support accessibility within UK HE Management Education Teaching. It discusses how the openness philosophy may assist the KT process for the HE teacher and learners using learning technologies. In particular, the potential to support accessibility within HE Management Education Teaching environments is appraised. There appear several implications for both teachers and learners. These are characterized in the proposed KTOM. The matrix organises KT events based on the principles of the openness philosophy. The role of learning technologies in events is illustrated with regard to teaching and learning accessibility.

Purpose – This paper aims to propose a knowledge transfer partnership (KTP) model, using higher education (HE) students researching in the UK. It is focused on community engagement via charitable trusts, New Opportunities Wirksworth (NOW) & Ecclesbourne Valley Rail (EVR). The researchers designed and implemented a pilot study that explored the potential of a small, yet attractive and active, market town to diversify and regenerate using tourism. This project, which has been funded by the UK Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF), has been devised to operate and monitor a KTP in the culturally important heritage market town of Wirksworth, in Derbyshire. Design/methodology/approach – A systems-thinking constructivist approach is used and employs problem-based learning (PBL) through engagement of students in research and data collection. The authors identified that skills for sustainable development within the community are dependent on the reintegration of complex, inter-dependent and inter-disciplinary factors. A holistic approach to the learning and knowledge shared within the community underpins UK initiatives to promote capacity development in ways to change knowledge applications across product and service boundaries. Therefore, in addition to encouraging diversification and regeneration through tourism, this project supported the University of Derby's academic agenda to promote experiential and entrepreneurial learning in students working at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This paper accords with the current university initiatives to meet the student employability agenda through the application of PBL and knowledge management. Findings – The creation of outcomes and recommendations for Wirksworth's stakeholders provides sustainability through the knowledge creation and sharing processes. There are seven outcomes that chart a path to development and knowledge transfer (KT) and sharing. The authors simultaneously provided an environment for students to gain skills and a community to acquire new knowledge, and these are the outcomes and output of this project. New learning styles may support inclusive academic practice (see related samples of PBL such as Ineson and Beresford in HLST resources 2001). Implications for building a KT community through the social capital accumulated in the project are explored. Originality/value – In taking PBL from the classroom to the community, the authors have created a new KT environment in which skills can be acquired and a regeneration strategy can be tested in a work-or-practice-related setting. Students recognise that they are building learning for themselves that is unique in that it cannot be recreated in a classroom setting. The authors see this project developing into a robust long-term partnership between communities and institutions with KT benefits to teaching staff in addition to students. These benefits will include new skills for PBL, working collaboratively with partners in the community to develop key skills in HE students, innovation in assessment, inclusive learning and teaching, experiential and entrepreneurial learning in practice.

Internationalization of higher education in Poland is a relatively new subject which has been gradually gaining its importance. The economic and political transformation of Poland opened new opportunities for Polish universities. The accession to the European Union enabled the educational and research units to apply for European funds in this respect. Despite numerous difficulties, the universities reform their strategies and search for new solutions to increase the level of internationalization and thus their competitiveness. These actions are necessary and crucial for their further development. The chapter describes general issues of internationalization of Polish higher education and shows that the level of internationalization may be achieved successfully by various forms of cross-border cooperation. Polish-Czech cooperation in the field of knowledge transfer and innovation carried out by two partner universities located in the Polish – Czech borderland is a case study illustrating this process.

Being enlightened by Richard Florida’s seminal work on the creative class, this paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of higher education institutions to cultivate a workforce with utilised skills that meet the demand of labour market in the context of sustainable socio-economic development. Based on the macro and micro data generated from Eurostat and the Europe Labour Force Survey (EU LFS), the supply and demand condition of early graduates and the mismatch rate between early graduates’ education backgrounds and actual jobs they undertook are estimated by a multinomial logit model in seven European countries. The findings suggest that, (1) higher education has a significant impact on the formation of specific sustainability competencies that contribute to the development of creative economy; (2) many creative workers also have a high probability of finding jobs that are not commensurate with their qualifications; (3) the effect of higher education policies appears to be heterogeneous across different countries. Therefore, we argue that policy makers should increase awareness about connecting internal measures of education system (e.g., course design) directly to aims and scopes of sustainable socio-economic development scenarios, and joint efforts shall be made to reduce such mismatch rates for particular subjects that are identified by regular monitoring procedures or programmes on the basis of full consideration of interests and reasonable requirements across different countries in Europe.
