Transnational Education - Challenges, Benefits and Missed Opportunities

Transnational Education (TNE) has been succinctly described as “higher education study programs, or sets of courses of study, or educational services, including those of distance education, in which the learners are located in a country different from the one where the awarding institution is based” (UNESCO/Council of Europe). The international education sector supports the mobility of students, as well as staff and faculty, and TNE essentially refers to the mobility of programs. TNE encompasses diverse modes of delivery such as branch, offshore or franchise campuses, articulation agreements and both joint and dual degrees, distance education, COIL and MOOCs. It is in wide and popular global use, notably from the UK, from Australia and from Germany, but from Canada, not so much. The pandemic may have opened the door for enhanced Canadian engagement. Three experts in the field will explore the diverse global landscape of TNE, offer definitions and case studies, articulate the benefits and costs, and explore the rationale, opportunities, and challenges for enhanced and constructive Canadian engagement.
