- W1504287575 abstract "How can universities continually produce graduates that have current and relevant skills? Is the answer to keep writing new units and courses that keep up with rapidly changing industry requirements? Or, is it possible to collaborate with other universities and industry to provide targeted skills (both research and development) that satisfy industry growth areas? New approaches are needed to help cope with the effects of globalisation, cultural diversity and innovative technology. This paper outlines a flexible Masters degree course developed with a view of helping industry gain required skills, while at the same provide students with opportunities for employment in new growth areas. Introduction Universities all around the world are struggling to keep up with rapid changes in technology and demands from both Government and industry, at a time that funding and resources for higher education are continually diminishing. Within this setting, students are paying more for education and demanding better service, as well as an expectation of employment. So, how can these competing expectations be satisfied? Keep producing new and innovation online and face-to-face courses? Maybe? Though, unless student numbers are available to fill new courses, this becomes a financial risk, and much effort can be wasted in trying to start new courses. However, is it necessary to keep producing new units and courses to satis fy perceived industry growth areas? Why not try and collaborate with other universities and promote student mobility? This paper outlines a strategy for the development of the “Master of Innovative Technology” that leverages from key skills and expertise sourced from other collaborating universities with a view of promoting student mobility and inter-cultural awareness. Key discipline skills with be combined with research skills to help provide teams of students that will develop project/thesis solutions in industry growth areas. The new course rationale is to develop a Master degree program that promotes national and international mobility, inter-cultural awareness, and innovative research solutions that meet the needs of globally oriented industry and research areas. The Need for New Skills European Union /Australia Cooperation in Higher Education aims to promote understanding between the peoples of the European Union and Australia by improving knowledge of languages, cultures and institutions. Since the Joint Declaration of 1997, EU/Australian relations have developed steadily and continue to grow closer, resulting in the establishment of mutual links across the whole spectrum of relations. These include information exchange and collaboration across communication studies, culture, staff/student exchanges, recognition of academic qualifications, and new educational technologies. The European Union and Australia initiated a pilot phase of projects on cooperation in higher education starting in 2002, and continuing in 2003 and 2004 (Directorate-General for Education and Culture, 2005). The EU and Australia have launched a fourth joint call (2005) for proposals, for multi-lateral projects with the potential to serve as a model for future substantive and long-lasting structural EU/Australian cooperation in higher education. Globalization helps provide unique solutions for this project, as our ability to share information and collaborate with new communication protocols helps break down national barriers, and differences between cultures. This has been promoted through the uptake of broadband connectivity around the world, and the use of cheap and effective communication tools such as video conferencing, email, bulletin boards, listservs, streaming video and voice over IP. At the same time, there has been global growth in new hardware and software technology, with new industries requiring new skills that are often difficult to find. This trend has been recognized and documented by Career Space (http://www.career-space.com). With the support of the European Commission, a consortium of nine major ICT companies, (BT, Cisco Systems, IBM Europe, Intel, Microsoft Europe, Nokia, Philips Semiconductors, Sie mens AG, Thales), and EICTA, the European Information, Communications and Consumer Electronics Industry Technology Association, has been exploring new ways of addressing this skills shortage. A project was set up, co-ordinated by International Co-operation Europe Ltd., to put in place a clear framework for students, education institutions and governments that describes the roles, skills and competencies required by the ICT industry in Europe. Their promotional logo is: “ICT is all around us and ?the future prosperity of the EU depends on ICT.? Some of the best jobs can be found in this sector ?and the European industry relies on ICT due to the increasing integration of Software, Services, Devices and Infrastructure.” Career Space stresses the importance of ICT expertise in Europe, which include skills in the technical area (telecommunications, software development and product design/development), artistic and design, marketing, communications and business. They promote that these people need to also have generic skills attributes such as good communications skills and teamwork skills. As well as providing new opportunities for students and industry, higher education institutions also are compelled to collaborate with international partners to help gain advantage in a highly competitive market! Joining forces through collaborative ventures can be an effective way for universities to gain market share. Many joint ventures, including Universitas 21, (16 international universities) have been successful in attracting international students and promoting their courses in an global area. The new course will allow industry to negotiate requirements in high demand developing areas, that are then negotiated with students through a learning agreement, with a view to develop relevant skills as well as innovative solutions for industry. With this backdrop, program promotion will include: • Industry contacts and employment opportunities in new innovative areas • Innovation and entrepreneurship by mixing multidisciplinary skills • International and multi-cultural skills, with a focus on teamwork to promote creativity and innovation • Providing solutions for industry needs through structured research, development and evaluation methodologies This new course will give students the opportunity to access experts at a time where employment requirements/skills are constantly changing. Specialist themes will include areas such as mobile learning, game design, 3D and E-broadcasting. These, and many others are rapidly evolving and changing areas with high demand and growth. Being able to access industry requirements for research and development in growth areas, as well international experts from around the world will help make this a valuable course to graduates. Also, students will be encouraged to form teams . In summary, demand for this course would be driven by providing students with the ability to: • Develop customized skills through a learning agreement (negotiated with the course coordinator) that suits the student aspirations as well as industry growth areas • Access key areas of academic specialty from different faculties and universities from around the world • Access cheaper tuition fees in some countries • Develop inter-cultural skills through a program that promotes graduate mobility" @default.
