The push for Asian HE internationalisation indicators
,
-------------------------------------------------------------

As this story notes, "UNESCO has begun work on drawing up a
series of indicators on higher education
internationalisation in Asia to help universities and
education policy-makers in the region to develop an
international outlook and promote international higher
education links against a set of solid, accepted, quality
benchmarks." We have for example, a project in Japan where
30 effective indicators

Containers: Are they worth the hype?
,
-------------------------------------------------------------

Not a deep article, but it will give you the basic idea of
container tools such as Kubernetes from Google, Swarm from
Docker, and CoreOS. Containers are a tye of virtualization,
but they "don’t need to make a virtual copy of the
host server’s hardware features, and they also
don’t need a full copy of the host operating system
to be installed within the container. This enables
containers to be orders of magnitude more lightweight and
flexible."

Facebookers 2.5 Times More Likely To Read Fake News,
Millennials Least Prone

Facebook isn't worth the time you give it, of course.
That's one result from this report. The other is that it is
not the millennials that are conned by and clicking on fake
news, it's the older generation (raised by traditional
media and helpless in the face of a deliberate assault on
reality). This all "according to a detailed analysis of
news consumption traffic conducted by Web analytics firm
Jumpshot."

Higher Ed Governance for the Real World

I could probably fill this newsletter with nothing but
SlideShare presentations. Don't worry - I won't - but

I found this deck that's worth a look. It's a pretty
accurate capture of the reality of the web site designer in
a higher ed environment - different departments have
different priorities and there's no one right way to do it.
DeLauder recommends making roles and responsibilities
crystal clear (always my favoured strategy as well). But as
well, all parties have to acknowledge that in higher
education consensus-based decision-making is the norm,
which means everybody gets a say.
