Selected Publications by Kerri-Lee Krause PhD MAICD FSRHE
I conclude with three propositions about the importance of 'value anchors' in a sea of change and transformation:
1. Quality in Australian higher education is and will continue to be more important than ever. We are operating in a context where the fundamental question is: what’s higher and enduring about higher education? what can be trusted in HE these days and how do we know?
2. Familiar concepts such as that of a university ‘student’, a university ‘experience’ and a university ‘degree’ are and will continue to be challenged. Our threshold concepts in this regard are being disrupted by such developments as microcredentials, nano offerings and the unbundling and rebundling of credentials.
3. In order to be part of shaping the future of Australian and indeed global higher education, an ecosystemic perspective will be essential. We need to develop a mindset that is characterised by Ron Barnett’s ‘ecological’ approach.
