Ghost story in a box booklet
No full textIn 2020, the Department of English Literature at UoR worked on a Study Higher outreach project designed to acquaint GCSE literature students with ideas and approaches to the subject that might be encountered at HE level. The project took the form of a card game that encouraged collaborative story telling. It focused on The Ghost Story, and introduced players to ideas of genre, as well as addressing historical and theory contexts.
The repository item is the booklet that accompanied the game, It was written by Neil Cocks from DEL, with additional material from Katy Green, SLL Outreach Lead, and James Stoorie, a creative writer specialising in tales of the supernatural. The booklet was designed and illustrated by Study Higher
Open access self-archiving: An author study
No full textThis, our second author international, cross-disciplinary study on open access had 1296 respondents. Its focus was on self-archiving. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity, yet findings here show that only 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, and that this dropped to 9% for subsequent deposits. Another author worry is about infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers, yet only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where it is not known if permission is required, however, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words,
researchers publish to have an impact on their field. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate
A comparative analysis of the demand for higher education: results from a meta-analysis of elasticities
No full textStudies of the demand for higher education have produced numerous estimates of the tuition and income elasticities. Because of widespread variation in the models estimated, this paper performs a meta-analysis of the literature to uncover the extent to which study characteristics influence elasticities. In addition to being more inelastic in the short-run, the results reveal that demand is least responsive to tuition and income in the United States. Also, the measure of quantity and price, coupled with the method of estimation, have important effects on the tuition elasticity. Nonetheless, there are many study characteristics that have little impact on elasticity estimates.
Tertiary education policy in Australia
No full text© Centre for the Study of Higher Education, The University of Melbourne, July 2013The chapters focus on most of the main policy issues facing tertiary education in Australia in the last five years and in the three years to come. The chapters are research-based but prepared in a reader-friendly style to enhance discussion. They do not form a unified whole: there is no party line and some authors differ from others. The value of these chapters lies in their expertise. The authors are at the cutting edge of the issues they discuss. We hope that by treating the issues seriously here, other voices (lay and expert) will be encouraged and knowledge will advance, enabling better policies. Discussion alone does not achieve good government, but it provides better conditions for that objective. (From introduction

HIV Prevalence and Related Factors – Higher Education Sector Study, South Africa, 2008–2009
No full textThe purpose of this study was to enable the higher education sector to understand the threat posed by the epidemic to its core mandate. This was done through determining, at the institutional and sector level, the prevalence and distribution of HIV and associated risk factors among the staff and students at public, higher education institutions (HEIs) in South Africa. The results were used to conduct an assessment of the risks posed by the HIV epidemic to the sector and their respective populations and make recommendations to mitigate potential impacts
