"While the international mobility of students is a well-established feature of higher education, the international mobility of institutions and courses on a large scale is a more novel phenomenon. Transnational education is at the leading edge of the most fundamental changes taking place in higher education today. Topics discussed in this new volume include: - the extent and form of offshore activity; - the pedagogical and cultural controversies that have plagued transnational education; - the challenges it presents to governments, educators and HE managers; - how governments are developing forms of regulation to integrate cross-border programs and branch-campuses into their strategic planning for the sector; - the new opportunities for students and institutions. 'Transnational Education' presents a global perspective on the development of international online education, partner-supported transnational programs and international branch campuses. It provides a comprehensive and analytical account of the active role some universities are playing on the international stage and valuable guidance on future trends in the sector." -- Publisher's website
