Higher Education in the UK
Political
Economic
Social
Technological
• Higher Education (HE) regulated via government department (BIS).
• New laws on Higher Education in UK expected…this week…• Funding controlled by independent funding councils, but answerable to BIS.• Great changes to funding models shifting the immediate burden of funding from government to student.
• Widening participation & social mobility key socio-political issues affecting UK HE.
• Management of Online Learning Resources (OLR) and “blended learning” key to many universities. • OLRs can improve student experience and reduce hidden course costs, both encouraged by National Union of Students (NUS).

“The physical and opportunity costs of involvement in
committees makes the idea unattractive to academics in the
current funding climate”“Students can benefit from
BSI. Teaching standardisation could
improve graduate employability and
standards can be used by universities to improve the
student experience.”
Reaction from the Sector
“Teaching standardisation looks very interesting and
relevant to discussions universities are currently
having.”
“Some academics are not confident teaching
standardisation as there is little reference material”

Teaching• Best examination of standardisation education is in a 2002 Henk de Vries paper
• Some courses do include standards…
• …but they are mostly referred to, not studied
• Could increasing the breadth of standardisation education be the answer?

Research
We need to…
Engage & communicate…• That standards are crucial in the take off phase of technology
• Publicly Available Specifications could be a solution for getting new research to marketPromote success
stories…• Like Moving Pictures Experts Group
• Or University of Bradford funded Dementia Care Mapping PAS, PAS 800
Get researchers asking…• Could standards or standardisation be relevant to current research?
• Blind and Gauche appear to believe so…

Could universities benefit from demanding compliance to standards from suppliers?• BS ISO 29990

Working Together
Begin creation of an Education Partners Network, similar to BSI’s Consumer & Public Interest Network
Key to all is engagement and collaboration
