University staffIs the role of teaching staff changing? Academic freedom Workload New profiles? Teacher as coach? More/less academic? Teaching as teamwork (co-teaching, collaboration on curricula)
Does the changes mean?• New pedagogics and didactics in HE?• Use of technology• Focus on professional development / CPD• Does a teacher need a license to teach?Has status and salaries been affected by the economic crisis?How does QA affect learning and teaching? Has the division between teaching, research and the third mission changed?

Learning and teaching - more important than ever (for the academic staff)?
But does everybody believe this? University staff? Leadership? Ministries? Public reputation of HE learning and teaching?
Important - compared to what? Teaching vs. research? Career development - acknowledgement?
How does this translate in concrete support measures? Policies, funding? National level Institutional level

StudentsIs the student body diversifying (national/international, young/mature/older, social backgrounds)? More part-time students (work, family)More lifelong learning? (e.g. students do a bachelor, leave and return later)?Do they learn different? Digital natives? Less well prepared for HE?

Student learning in 2013What has been implemented – what not, why? Degree system Learning outcomes and revised curricula Student centred - assessment Skills orientation Flexibilisation of study paths Mobility – international experience – language learning Practical and professional experience internships
Is teaching (re-)organised in a meaningful way? Amount of lectures, seminars, working groups, peer groups Student workload Problem / project based Blended learning – elearning Flipping the class room Teaching means and environments

The consequences: Conditions to be provided by institutions
Learning support -
opportunity for students to
exchange with teachers and co-learners, student
support and advisory services
Flexible learning -
allowing students to learn
at their own pace, advance
quicker in areas that they are
strong in, revise on their own in
areas where they have gaps
Inclusiveness - given the ambitious
participation goals, HE would have to cater to
a diverse studentship
Retention and completion-
student success, including
employability
Transparent learning – sufficient
information to be provided to
prospective and actual students
allowing them to understand and navigate them
