En savoir plus sur le livre

This book examines the trends and challenges facing students, educators, and institutions in higher education globally. It arrives at a crucial time when many universities are offering courses in offshore locations, allowing students to access international qualifications without leaving their home countries. The text explores various forms of transnational education, including institutions with campuses abroad, those that teach specific courses overseas, and partnerships with diverse schools for joint teaching. Key topics discussed include adapting teaching methods to meet diverse student needs, integrating technology in the classroom, viewing higher education as a marketable service, and the significance of cultural awareness in transnational settings. The complexities of ensuring quality education across borders are also addressed. The authors highlight a range of transnational programs from countries such as Zambia, China, and the United Arab Emirates. Interviews with students and educators involved in these programs provide a unique and engaging perspective on higher education, making it a valuable resource for both teachers and learners worldwide. Lee Dunn is a lecturer and academic developer at Southern Cross University, while Michelle Wallace serves as an Associate Professor in the Graduate College of Management at the same institution.
