Leading Higher Education in the Digital Age: Critical Mindsets and Responsible Actions for Complex Times (en Inglés) - Deborah Arnold

Designed to equip established and emerging leaders in higher education to decipher the complex and increasingly digital world in which we live, this key text both provokes and supports thinking about digital education leadership.

At the heart of this book is the conceptual framework of Digital Education Leadership Literacies for Higher Education, or DELLHE. By journeying through the different topics, the reader is introduced to the concept of DELLHE and shown how the different dimensions can help develop critical mindsets and support leaders in taking responsible action:

-VISION-MAKING explores values, purpose, context and strategy.

-LEADING encourages deep thinking about what forms of leadership need to be mobilised and how digital education leaders can bring about change that sticks.

-SUSTAINING focuses on how decisions about digital education need to consider the human and environmental impact.

-RELATING highlights the importance of both interpersonal relationships and organisational dynamics.

-LEARNING encourages the professional development of both current and aspiring digital education leaders, as well as rethinking the ways in which higher education institutions can foster organisational learning.

Leading Higher Education in the Digital Age combines research evidence, practical examples and recommendations to stimulate thinking and action. This book will be useful for current and aspiring leaders alike: Rectors, Presidents, Vice-Chancellors, Vice-rectors and Pro-Vice-Chancellors, particularly those taking on a remit for digital education; heads of learning technology units or centres for teaching and learning, academic leaders, or learning technologists and educational developers looking to move into leadership roles.
