Cour Description
Higher education has been transformed in the last decade and will continue to change apace in the next decade. The development of the knowledge and learning economies emphasize the changing significance of intellectual capital and tacit knowledge in the forms of human and social capital for economic growth and development. The 'symbolic economy' has highlighted the general importance of symbolic goods and rvices for economic and cultural development and resulted in new labour markets with the demand for analytic skills and new markets in tradable knowledges. Developments in ICT have contributed to a variety of globalization forms involving the exchange and flows of knowledge and knowledge rvices. The digitalization, speed and compression of communication has reshaped HE delivery modes; reinforced the notion of culture as a symbolic system; and led to the spread of global cultures as knowledge and rearch networks. This cour provides an introduction to the knowledge economy and HE role within it; analyzes the convergence of open source, open access and free science; and, examines the influence of the aspects for new development modes in HE.
