This
course is designed primarily to meet the needs and interests of educational
administrators, teachers, academics, educational service providers and student
support staff engaged in international education at all levels of education. It
would also be of interest to staff training officers from industry and private
providers.
The course is based on the belief that as a new millennium dawns the influences
of new technologies and globalisation are increasing economic and cultural
interpenetration of nations, creating a new `knowledge economy'. The emergence
of this knowledge economy has profound implications for education's purposes
and organisation. Increasingly, educational institutions are expected to be
self-funding and, in response, many have pursued international educational
markets. This has both challenged current practices and created the need for
the development of new competencies.
This course seeks to provide students with an understanding of the processes of
internationalisation in education enabling them to develop skills of planning,
managing and evaluating initiatives in international education in ways that are
culturally appropriate, informed and sensitive.
The course is offered through the distance education mode, with support through
regular electronic communication.
