Transnational Education

Trans-national education (TNE) refers to the delivery of educational programmes, award or credit bearing, by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in countries other than their own. The study aimed to identify the scale and pattern of current and planned trans-national education (TNE) offered by UK HEIs.

• Exporting education: Europe's role in transnational education
• Quality in Business Education
• Strategic Education Dialogues in South East Asia
• Transnational Education Project Report and Recommendations
• Trans-national Education and Higher Education Institutions: Exploring Patterns of HE Institutional Activity

   

 

As a major global phenomenon, trans-national education (TNE) is predicted to grow significantly over the next twenty years.
The UK government's interest in TNE, reflected in the PMI, emphasises the importance of UK partnerships with overseas institutions.
It includes a wide variety of delivery modes, including: distance and e-learning; validation and franchising arrangements;
twinning and other collaborative provision. In recognition of the importance placed on TNE by the government, Mr Bill Rammell,
Minister for Life-long Learning and Higher Education, agreed to be interviewed for this research.

Learning Contents

The module specific learning contents are best described as e-learning based teaching and material for in-class and/or distance
learning and teaching. All the material is either from our original teaching and lession plans or obtained from recognized public domains, such
as major publishers, acknowledged authors and scholars who have placed their work freely accessible online and intended for one
or more semesters teaching plans and students' self-directed study support without the material becoming a straight jacked or
infringement of academic freedom and creativity.

Each fully customised module specific teaching plan is linked to the relevant downloadable material, such as text documents, PowerPoint
or other multimedia presentation and contain appropriate teaching and assessment strategies and schedules, lectures/tutorials, further readings, assignments, case studies and comprehensive learner support and staff development units.

For student/faculty, Strategios has provided strategic management and research methodology courseware for over 10 years.
The major users of the Strategios resources have been the business and management students and and their teachers working at universities, colleges, and business schools throughout the world.

 

 

Lectures and Tutorials

Workshops In education, a workshop is a brief intensive course, a seminar or a series of meetings emphasizing interaction and exchange of information among a usually small number of participants:

• or an academic workshop, a smaller version of an academic conference.
• or an educational workshop
• or a training workshop

 

Readings are normally sourced from externally published abstracts, articles, research report, etc and in this context, used for
further readings, lectures/tutorials and workshop updates.

Recommended text books and journals, mostly available for purchase from Amazon.com or campus based bookshops. Some
of the featured texts and publications may also be available from a public library. Lecturers and students are free to select their
own reading material and substitute the recommended texts according to the local availability, requirements of their customised
teaching plans, level of the course/module, institutions/learning centres' specialization, personal interests and other individual needs.

Assignments, Assessments, Exercises are offered as appropriate and may be varied by the lecturer/s and instructors concerned.

Learner Support and Staff Development Units are intended to compensate for the diverse academic and experiential background
of the users. Apart from the induction periods at the beginning of each semester, these resources, including

Strategios Courseware Library , are considered voluntary, 'dip-in' or self-directed study and revision resources.

Curriculum Development, Customisation and Implementation

Curriculum has many different conceptions. It may include any educational experience. It may also be conceived as a conversation, relationships, and it is this phenomenon of plurality that is inherent in the new paradigm view of curriculum.

Instructional Design and Implementation (Joint Educational/IT Projects)

Instructional Design is the practice of arranging media to help learners
The process consists broadly of determining the current state of learner understanding, defining the end goal of instruction,
and creating some media-based "intervention" to assist in the transition. Ideally the process is informed by pedagogically tested
theories of learning and may take place in student-only, teacher-led or community-based settings. The outcome of this instruction
may be directly observable and scientifically measured or completely hidden and assumed.

As a field, Instructional Design is historically and traditionally rooted in cognitive and behavioural psychology. However, because it
is not a regulated field, and therefore not well understood, the term 'instructional design' has been co-opted by or confused with
a variety of other ideologically-based and / or professional fields. Instructional Design, for example, is not Graphic Design although
graphic design (from a cognitive perspective) could play an important role in Instructional Design. Preparing instructional text
by E. Misanchuk, and publications by James Hartley are useful to informing the distinction between Instructional Design and Graphic
Design.

Learning Management

 

 

 

 

Virtual Learning Information Systems and Technology

 

A Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is a software system designed to facilitate teachers in the management of educational
courses for their students, especially by helping teachers and learners with course administration. The system can often track
the learners' progress, which can be monitored by both teachers and learners. While often thought of as primarily tools for
distance education, they are most often used to supplement the face-to-face classroom.

 

 

These systems usually run on servers, to serve the course to students as internet pages.

Components of these systems usually include templates for content pages, discussion forums, chat, quizzes and exercises such
as multiple-choice, true/false and one-word-answer. Teachers fill in these templates and then release them for learners to use.
New features in these systems include blogs and RSS. Services generally provided include access control, provision of e-learning
content, communication tools, and administration of the user groups.

Learning Content Management Systems Customisation, Design, Development and Implementation

A Content Management System (CMS) is a software system used for content management. This includes computer files, image
media, audio files, electronic documents and web content. The idea behind a CMS is to make these files available inter-office, as
well as over the web. A Content Management System would most often be used as archival as well. Many companies use a CMS to
store files in a non-proprietary form. Companies using a CMS file share with ease, as most systems use server based software, even
further broadening file availability. As shown below, many Content Management Systems include a feature for Web Content, and some have a feature for a "workflow process."
