Addressing Academic Misconduct in Transnational Education Computing Courses. 330 $aThere has been exponential growth in transnational education (TNE) in the last few years as UK universities have looked to expand their markets. Recipient countries have sought short cuts to developing their higher education provision which has proved a lucrative income stream for some universities. But overseas collaborations are not without risk. Recipient countries can be concerned with external influence over curricula, quality being diluted and higher education being infected by neo-imperialism. These concerns are not without foundation. There are risks for providers too. Reputations can be damaged if academic standards are compromised. Conflicts of interest can occur between quality of provision and the pot of gold on offer. Staff can view overseas collaborations as distracting from their research and commitment to home students. Computing is a particularly popular subject for TNE, but critical thinking, analysis, independent learning, and creativity can be compromised.Preventing plagiarism is difficult. Constant changes in technology result in constant curricula revision which causes severe problems for overseas collaborations. This book focuses on TNE in the computing domain. However cross-cultural issues challenge TNE management and administration whatever the subject area. If the ever present tensions are not continuously monitored they can quickly threaten the sustainability of the collaboration. This book identifies many of the threats and some of the solutions. The readership for this book is truly global. Any international development officer in higher education considering an overseas collaboration will benefit from this book. Any academic becoming engaged in, or already involved with a TNE partnership, either as provider or recipient, will gain information and insight into the practice and issues. Researchers in TNE will discover more lines of enquiry. Students considering a course with an overseas provider or in coming to the UK to study will be better prepared thereby enabling a more fulfilling and rewarding experience. Anyone who has an interest in TNE, whether at the senior executive level, operational level, delivering programmes or as a recipient of TNE should read this book. The wealth of experience gathered here will provoke questions, prompt debate and offer solutions. It has been written by people who know the issues, bear the scars and are happy to share their knowledge. It will greatly benefit future transnational collaborations. 606 $aEducational technology 606 $aEducation$xData processing 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aEducation, Higher 606 $aScience$xStudy and teaching 606 $aDigital Education and Educational Technology 606 $aComputers and Education 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 606 $aHigher Education 606 $aScience Education 615 0$aEducational technology. 615 0$aEducation$xData processing. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 0$aEducation, Higher. 615 0$aScience$xStudy and teaching. 615 14$aDigital Education and Educational Technology. 615 24$aComputers and Education. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 615 24$aHigher Education. 615 24$aScience Education. 676 $a371.33 676 $a371.33 702 $aCarter$b Jenny$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRosen$b Clive$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349332803321 996 $aTransnational Higher Education in Computing Courses$92505975 997 $aUNINA
