This article is concerned with the provision of open and distance learning by the higher education sectors in two countries, the UK and Finland. The central contention is that more strategic thought must be given to this issue if the potential benefits of such learning are to be maximized. The article considers in detail institutional practice in one UK university and compares it to practice in a Finnish institution to ascertain whether procedures and practices adopted in Finland might inform policies in UK universities. By way of conclusion, it is suggested that higher education institutions in both countries need to explore the importance of improved networking, develop better quality-assurance procedures and introduce changes in pedagogic practice.

This comparative case study addresses a timely issue engaging researchers involved in the internationalisation of Nordic Higher Education, in the context of Sweden and Finland. The study examines a hypothetical imaginary in the transition between university international policy statements and their understandings from the position of a globalised episteme. The investigation forms a tag-project as part of a funded large international research project examining ethical internationalism in times of global crises, involving a partnership between more than twenty higher education institutions in excess of ten countries across five continents. The data was collected using a mixed-methods design, whilst being controlled across the matched data collection period in 2013-2014. Data consisted of policy texts, surveys and interviews. The current research inquiry reports on a within and across comparative analyses of certain policy texts and follow-up interviews with university management. The results yield logical support for a global higher education imaginary driving internationalisation in ways which reveal paradoxical associations between the imagined and the real worlds of international scholar-practitioners.

Abstract Since its inception in 1999, all the efforts of the Bologna Process have been targeted at creating a common European Higher Education Area (“Europäischer Bildungsraum”). The main objective of this process was meant to ensure more comparable and compatible systems of higher education. Has it succeeded? This comparative case study will attempt to answer this question related to the theological education of teachers in Marburg und Frankfurt am Main. For that purpose, the author introduces the theory of ‘Bildungsräume’ as a means of analyzing the theological education of these universities from a historical, empirical, systematic and didactic point of view. Borrowing this format used by historians, the paper describes important aspects of theological education in its contribution to the training of teachers in Germany.
