ASEAN member countries are well aware of the importance of education to be one of the decisive factors in developing a high quality of human resources. This is reflected in the inclusion of education in ASEAN socio-cultural cooperation dimension. This review will highlight the implementation of higher education in ASEAN connectivity described in five steps. Infrastructure connectivity makes the mobility of young people in ASEAN members become easier in pursuing education across ASEAN region. In addition, the improvement of facilities and infrastructure in educational institutions could support a conducive atmosphere in the teaching and learning process. Institutional connectivity could also develop human resources who are not only knowledgeable but also have compatible skills with industry needs in ASEAN. In regional level, connectivity through ASEAN University Network will develop quality standards between AUN members which can be used as a benchmark standard of university quality in ASEAN. Young generation connectivity through students’ exchange program between many universities in ASEAN not only for knowledge exchange but also to understand each other’s cultural diversity. Connectivity is the success key in building the ASEAN community. Connectivity plays a role in helping to reduce education gaps among ASEAN member countries. Higher education within ASEAN connectivity will strengthen regional cooperation between university institutions and students in ASEAN, also will enhance the internationalization of competitive and high-quality education.

This chapter concerns the research project carried out in a confederation of Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) in seven Latin American countries. Considering the intercultural background of IHE, the universities defined a new profile of their teachers and other human resources by setting up a new model of teaching and learning based on a “learning process” and shifting the paradigm of learning to “centered teaching.” In this chapter, three characteristics of this process are presented: the first one refers to the profile built as the “product” of an Intercultural Community of Thought; the second one refers to a participatory process, called “the value cycle,” as a working model that allows one to co-construct profiles of university teachers, administrative staff, and human resources staff; the third one presents the tools and the technologies using both of them (Personal and Social Virtual Learning Environment based on Web 2.0, the Human Resource Management Tool, Video-Research, E-Portfolio). The project, carried out through action-research, defines a shared idea of the quality of teaching, a research based and supported by tools, that allows teacher self-assessment as well as the possibility to monitor the quality of universities and to develop plans for continuous improvements by building a community of learning. Qualitative and quantitative studies' data are given.

Language education faculty face myriad challenges in finding teaching resources that are suitable, of high quality, and allow for the modifications needed to meet the requirements of their course contexts and their learners. The article elaborates the grassroots model of “produsage” (a portmanteau of “production” and “usage”) as a way of imagining a movement toward the use and creation of open educational resources (OER) for language learning. Through a set of examples of video resources that fill a need for authentically compelling language learning materials, the authors demonstrate the potential of produsage to engage teachers and learners around digital resources, to the benefit of language teaching and learning. In support of this grassroots model, the authors propose practices and policies to address challenges involved in engaging teachers and learners around OER in higher education.

Indonesia gets demographic bonus in 2015-2035. Demographic bonus is when the number of productive population of the age of 15-64 years reaches about 70% or about 180 million people and the rest is about 30% or about 60 million people of unproductive age. The demographic bonus is like a double-edged sword. This demographic bonus becomes a profitable phenomenon on the one hand and on the other hand can be disastrous for a country. Beneficial and potential if a country is able to prepare its young generation with a quality generation and vice versa would be disastrous if the state is unable to prepare its human resources. High quality human resources both in terms of education, health, skills so as to compete in the world of work. This phenomenon is of course interesting to be studied further, especially how the opportunities and challenges for diversity in Indonesia.

By entering the era of higher education industrialization, Indonesia is required to improve itself so that it can compete with other ASEAN countries. According to several university ranking data, the quality of Indonesian education is still below Singapore and Malaysia. The portrait of the quality of Indonesian higher education is still very vulnerable to injustice and lack of equity             Competition for a professional workforce, having mature skills and being equipped with good language skills are prerequisites for competing fairly with other ASEAN member countries. Of course, Raden Fatah State Islamic University Palembang, which has approximately 25,000 students consisting of 39 study programs and 500 lecturers, both domestic and foreign graduates, has great potential to be involved in preparing a reliable workforce in their fields. The quality of the workforce must be supported by the quality of education held in each country, including UIN Raden Fatah Palembang. With good quality, the country's human resources are ready to compete in the ASEAN labor market. The factors that determine the effort to improve the quality of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang in facing the ASEAN Community include: vision and mission; rules; governance guidelines; student body; human Resources; infrastructure; Tri Dharma College; international cooperation; visiting lecturer; and Asean issues. All of these factors are the basis for higher education management.

Human resources are the decisive factor for the success and progress of a country and is the main measure for assessing the level of social progress, equity, and sustainable development. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the quality of Vietnam’s human resources, with a particular emphasis on the shortage of high-quality human resources. The paper discusses the causes of the shortage of high-quality human resources, and it also provides solutions for enhancing the education and training systems needed to improve the quality of Vietnam’s human resources. The solutions for improving the education and training systems are (1) reforming education-training systems, particularly vocational education; (2) increasing financial resources for education and training to improve the ability of employees and readjusting the investment structure; (3) focusing on developing national higher education to improve the training of teachers; (4) strengthening partnerships between firms, universities, and vocational schools; and (5) cooperating with international organizations to improve human resources. The novelty of the paper is that it explores ways to accelerate the approval of the higher education development strategy for the period 2021–2030 in Vietnam.

When the Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice — JUTLP as we have come to know it — was established in 2004, it was to fill a perceived gap in publications related to teaching and learning practice in higher education, with practice being the operative word (Carter, 2004). While other higher education journals existed, they were mainly the purview of academic developers and the most prodigious of disciplinary academics researching their teaching. In contrast, JUTLP was to be built as open-access and its readership as ‘practitioners looking for good ideas based soundly on a body of accessible theory and research’ (McInnes, 2004, n.p.). JUTLP was established in the Australian context at a time when promoting excellence in teaching and learning was regarded as an important government agenda to improve the student experience, and not accidentally, coincided with the creation of the Carrick Institute for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (later the Australian Learning and Teaching Council, and later again the Office for Learning and Teaching). The Carrick Institute supported national cross-institutional grants and fellowship schemes, and promoted national networks of educational research into practice to support the mission of the then Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) to ensure all ‘Australian higher education institutions provide high quality teaching and learning for all students’ (Carrick, 2009). How times have changed.

This study provides an overview of the important initiatives higher education institutions (HEIs) are implementing to develop their entrepreneurial and innovative potential. The authors performed a systematic analysis of the 62 case studies reported on the HEInnovate website. The initiatives described within these case studies are classified under the eight dimensions of the HEInnovate framework and further grouped under new sub-dimensions which emerged inductively during content analysis. For each sub-dimension, the study analyses the similarities and specificities of the initiatives taken by universities and identifies key learnings and future challenges. The most frequently highlighted dimensions include entrepreneurial teaching and learning, knowledge exchange and collaboration, leadership and governance, and organisational capacity. Findings reveal the key role of strategy and organisational resources and capacities in developing the entrepreneurial agenda and the strong alignment of the entrepreneurial university to its three missions.
