This volume provides a broad examination of how technology and globalisation have influenced contemporary higher education institutions and how moves towards internationalisation within and between educational providers continue to be a force for change in this context.

Showcasing the varied responses to and utilisation of new technologies to support international teaching and learning endeavours at a range of higher education institutions, this book introduces content from around the world, emphasising the global importance of the internationalisation of education. Featuring contributions from some fresh young voices alongside the work of experienced and internationally renowned scholars this collection

• critically scrutinises the potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on the capacities and patterns of university education;
• assesses and refines the contention that ICTs are facilitating the (re-)shaping of university practices as well as challenging traditional educational models and learning strategies;
• provides a comprehensive portrait of the ways in which ICT use engages higher education providers, society, and individuals to facilitate potentially more democratic, globally focussed access to knowledge generation, creation, investigation, and consumption processes through internationally focussed education; and
• examines the differing pace and scope of change in international educational practice and context between and within countries and disciplines.

With an international range of carefully chosen contributors, this book is a must-read text for practitioners, academics, researchers, administrators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of the university in an information age.

Reviews

"The book will thus be of great value not only to those who are interested in the practical aspects of ICT implementation in internationalisation but also those who need a framework for conceptualising HE education at a time of instability, attempting to interrogate the more wicked internationalisation questions about, for instance, systems and people equality that always become more pronounced at times of educational crises." - Aneta Hayes, Educational Review
