The new leadership of China is faced with a series of complex challenges. In September 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed a Silk Road Economic Belt and in October a 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road; together now referred to as the Belt and Road Initiative. The Initiative aims at building a community of shared interests, responsibility and destiny with mutual political trust, economic integration and cultural inclusiveness. Investments and trade cooperations are major tasks in building the Belt and Road. As a member of higher education community, how could we be of any assistance in solving the employment problem for the government, upgrade the traditional foreign trade for the enterprises and train innovative students for the society? Consequently, I select the theme Disruptive Innovation: Shifting the way of learning. And the title of my sharing is “New Learning, New Teaching, New Entrepreneurship & New Eco-sphere”.","PeriodicalId":108586,"journal":{"name":"Asian Higher Education Chronicles","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128661617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon becomes more apparent in developing countries, where globalization is unavoidable and the utilization of advanced technology becomes a necessity. Blended learning (BL) and student center learning (SCL) may become the means for students and lecturers to be active participants of the learning processes. The purpose of this paper is to present our effort in preparing students to be more confident, self-reliant, eager to compete and collaborate as well as to master new knowledge in the field they have chosen to study. Six samples of SCL classes and one sample of BL class are described. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were applied to measure the process of implementing the learning methods. Results indicate favorable outcomes. It is recommended to use BL since it will include SCL in the near future to all classes offered at UKRIDA.","PeriodicalId":108586,"journal":{"name":"Asian Higher Education Chronicles","volume":"189 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132493435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Next, it examines how lessonsregarding the disruptive potential of sharing economies in the broader marketplace might be applied in transforming the context of higher education.

One of the tools Winston, the protagonist in the dystopian novel, has to contend with is the telescreen. Its functions are to monitor a person’s movement and capture their conversation where ever they may be, including in private places such as one’s own home. What is very compelling about the book, we find, is that it was written in 1949. Orwell was able to predict rather splendidly what he thought life would be like 35 years ahead of the time he wrote the book. Now, fast forward 69 years later, Orwell’s telescreen is really not very different from our smartphones and other social media devices. Our smartphones now not only keep information about us once we log in, but are able to gather information from our speeches even when we are not talking into it! Orwell’s 1984 is an epitome of foresight, as it is not only the telescreen in the novel that we can identify with in the 21st century, but many other aspects of the current sociopolitical goings-on in the world. If Orwell were still alive today, we would like to ask him – what would higher education be like in the next ten years?","PeriodicalId":108586,"journal":{"name":"Asian Higher Education Chronicles","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116226980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
