The Impact of E-learning Programs on the Internationalization of the University

The University, a 13th century medieval educational construct initially developed in France, Italy, and England, but later exported to virtually every part of the globe, has from its inception possessed an integrated international character. The University is still widely regarded as an inherently "international" institution, drawing together both faculty and students from all parts of the world to gather at a single location to carry on the university's mission of learning and research. This book examines the impact of web-based e-learning on university internationalisation.
