Know How

When teaching online, many instructors are provided with a master course that contains the learning materials, discussion forums, assignments, and assessments. With more higher education institutions opting to offer master course shells, it can be difficult for instructors to know how to incorporate their personality, experiences, and insights into a pre-designed course. Faculty who teach online may be searching for ideas on how to personalize their master course and increase student engagement. Many faculty express concerns about students who are disconnected. Personalization of master courses increases student engagement while allowing students and instructors to feel more connected during the course. The authors will explore best practices to increase student engagement and provide a framework to implement these strategies that assist online instructors in demonstrating their personalities and expertise in master courses.

Time And Energy

This paper draws on McClusky’s Theory of Margin which contains elements of life transitions. Adulthood period is one of growth, change and integration of balance between energy needed to engage in learning. There is an increasing participation of adult learners in higher education institutions. This paper finds out whether learners complete degree programmes on time, or otherwise by examining responsibilities, resources required for learning, challenges faced and margin available to learners. This qualitative case study used Accra Learning Centre and adopted homogenous, random and sequential purposive sampling procedures. Fifteen participants participated in the in-depth interview conducted. Thematic, narrative and interpretivist approaches were adapted in analysing data collected. It emerged that adult learners have limitless potentials to learn, yet poor time management, work commitments and financial challenges made it difficult to complete programmes on time. Engagement in multiplicities of responsibilities consumed adult learners’ time and energy to learn. The findings made are discussed and recommendations are made.

The University

This paper seeks to bring into discussion the main traits and their effects on the research management process within Romanian universities from the managers’ perspective. Fourteen academic managers took part in a semi-structured in-depth interview aimed at presenting and analysing the research management process in higher education institutions. The focus was on academic managers` perspective regarding the current university model, the research culture within universities and the internal strategies used to promote and stimulate research production. Results show the university should be considered an important pillar for economic growth and thus, it must invest in developing more research activities of higher quality, helping to transform knowledge into a profitable investment. Therefore, the university needs to support the development of internal strategies that will help researchers work individually or in teams in order to implement research projects, ensuring that potential inaccuracies, such as lack of institutional support or bureaucracy, are reduced.
