  • Open Access Initiatives in Azerbaijan @ Khazar University
    Journal of Azerbaijani Studies 15 OPEN ACCESS INITIATIVES IN AZERBAIJAN @ KHAZAR UNIVERSITY Tatyana Zaytseva (Khazar University, Baku, Azerbaijan) "Open development is an emerging term used to describe the community- led development model found within many successful free and open source software projects" OSS Watch Wiki INTRODUCTION Comprehensive Open Access (OA) to scholarly literature and research documentation is vital because ―Azerbaijan's economy is developing more rapidly than in many Asian countries,‖1 according to Asian Development Bank President Haruhiko Kuroda. Many of the restrictions on access to knowledge in Azerbaijan revolve around restrictively inadequate funding, copyright practices and regulations, a lack of access to internet-based technologies, a lack of English-language proficiency that hinders expansion and use of digital information resources, and the lack of creative and effective government support to create environments within higher education that would enable institutions to match the modern vision of knowledge and innovation in Azerbaijan. Institutional repositories provide universities in developing countries with a good avenue to disseminate their intellectual output to the outside world. The OA movement has not yet permeated the academic research environment. Azerbaijani university libraries have not begun to practice or promote institutional repository or are at very early stages of it. We present a case study of repository development at Khazar University in order to discuss key issues faced in the process. One of the main goals of this repository is to collect published papers from faculty, campus journals, presentations, student theses, etc. which may be in widely scattered places, many of which are inaccessible due to copyright or technological restrictions.

  • Khazar University Brochure
    ALWAYS LEADING THE WAY STATEMENT OF THE FOUNDER Dear Friend, The Khazar University motto of “always leading the way” has a long history. Its conceptual blueprint was developed by defining its own character and based on the experience of the foremost higher education institutions of Europe and America. When the university opened its doors in early 1991, it became the first private university in the (Soviet) Republic of Azerbaijan, and in fact, in the entire former Soviet Union. One of the key characteristics of Khazar that sets it apart from its peer universities in Azerbaijan is its commitment to use English as the main medium of instruction, preparing alumni to keep up with cutting- edge developments in their fields as they go out into a rapidly globalizing world. Khazar is a research-oriented university, maintaining many knowledge centers and a publishing house that regularly produces monographs, textbooks, transactions of conferences, and several academic journals. It has also won recent recognition for its overall quality: Ÿ In January 2011, the Khazar University Institutional Repository (the online service of the Library and Information Center) was ranked first in all of the Caucasus and Central Asia. Ÿ In September 2012, Khazar was recognized by QS World University Rankings as one of the top 700 universities in the world. Ÿ In October 2011, when Khazar was freshly accredited by the Ministry of Education of the Azerbaijan Republic, the Minister of Education Misir Mardanov commented that other Azerbaijani universities should learn from Khazar's example. Khazar has always been committed to academic freedom. It also strives to cultivate a rich cultural life, encouraging the expression of both Azerbaijani and international traditions, values, and arts.

    sustainability Article Sustainable Higher Education Development through Technology Enhanced Learning Javier Orozco-Messana 1,* , Juan Miguel Martínez-Rubio 2 and Ana Maria Gonzálvez-Pons 1 1 ITM, Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, 46022 Valencia, Spain; [email protected] 2 DISCA, Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, 46022 Valencia, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 2 April 2020; Accepted: 28 April 2020; Published: 29 April 2020 Abstract: Higher education is incorporating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at a fast rate for different purposes. Scientific papers include within the concept of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) the myriad applications of information and communication technology, e-resources, and pedagogical approaches to the development of education. TEL’s specific application to higher education is especially relevant for countries under rapid development for providing quick and sustainable access to quality education (UN sustainable development goal 4). This paper presents the research results of an online pedagogical experience in collaborative academic research for analyzing good practice in TEL-supported higher education development. The results are obtained through a pilot implementation providing curated data on TEL competency’s development of faculty skills and analysis of developing sustainable higher education degrees through TEL cooperation, for capacity building. Given the increased volume and complexity of the knowledge to be delivered, and the exponential growth of the need for skilled workers in emerging economies, online training is the most effective way of delivering a sustainable higher education. The results of the PETRA Erasmus+ capacity-building project provides evidence of a successful implementation of a TEL-supported methodology for collaborative faculty development focused on future online degrees built collaboratively and applied locally.
