Abstract

Commission on Institutions of Higher Education, New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), 9 December 2011, Cross-Border Education: The Experience of a Lifetime! Stamenka Uvalić-Trumbić & Sir John Daniel, Commonwealth of Learning // Drawing on their personal experiences – going back to the 1960s – as cross-border students, managers in higher education and officials in intergovernmental organisations, Stamenka Uvalić-Trumbić and John Daniel will present cross-border education as a vehicle for individual and institutional empowerment. Their focus is on strengthening education in developing countries and advancing the interests of students. Discussion of some of the key practices, policies and models in the global market and proposals for action against degree mills and in favour of open educational resources will be nourished by reflections on global CBHE initiatives that they have been involved in.
