Do lado de lá do Atlântico...

... e mais além! Três links norte americanos (é de estranhar?) com uma preocupação com a globalização do ensino superior:
  • Welcome to World Education Services, your portal to trusted, accurate research and intelligence about foreign academic credentials, institutions and trends. Whether your interest is for academic or professional purposes, we’ve got the tools and information to help. A World Education News & Reviews (WENR) deste mês (necessário registo para aceder) tem um artigo descrevendo o Processo de Bolonha e um outro bem mais interessante com uma reflexão sobre o papel das universidades: "The role of universities is to educate people, to provide students with general, universal knowledge, to create an autonomous human being – a free thinker. They are not meant to simply educate people for the labor market." (Leban, 2009) Só o contexto histórico do nascimento e evolução das universidades vale o tempo do registo no site, mas quem tiver pressa pode ler a versão original do artigo aqui.
  • Changing Higher Education. Um site pessoal de Lloyd Armstrong. This website is dedicated to discussion and analysis of the forces coming to bear on higher education, and of ways in which higher education might proactively and effectively use these forces to increase its impact.
  • GlobalHigherEd. Um blogue que se auto-descreve assim: "We are interested in how and why new knowledge and new spaces (including socio-technical networks) are being developed in association with the emergence of the ‘knowledge economy’, and what the implications of this complex development process are, especially for global public affairs."
