This presentation considers the benefits of transnational education (TNE) to host countries and to TNE partners in the host country. It reviews the scale and the benefits of ‘traditional’ TNE, which is generally understood to entail a university in one country (eg, the UK) providing educational services to students in another (eg, Thailand). It argues that although this tends to be an ‘unbalanced’ partnership, nonetheless traditional TNE does provide tangible benefits to the host country in terms of technology transfer (including curriculum, pedagogy and quality assurance) and faculty development, as witnessed by the way in which the private sector in Malaysia has used TNE to develop its higher education sector. It goes on to look at emerging forms of TNE, which are more explicitly based on a genuine partnerships of equals, arguing that these new forms hold out the best prospects of building lasting partnerships.

African Perspective on The Global Trends in Open, Distance and Online Learnin...icdeslides
This presentation is about trends in ODL in an African perspective. Education and learning is probably that single thing that has the greatest impact on humans and societies, in particular in a long term perspective.
Higher education is increasing more rapid than ever, and Africa is a hot spot for future HE. Africa is lagging compared with richer parts of the world, but is catching up faster than many would have believed. However, better integration between education and economic value chains has to be more in focus.
For the post 2015 education agenda Quality Open Education Resources and ODL can make dreams come through. In fact, without OER and ODL, dreams about quality education for all might end up as wishful thinking.
Not all that shines is gold, and the MOOC hype has been replaced by a good portion scepticism in particular regarding target groups, lack of student success and learning outcomes. However, the driving forces for open knowledge are so strong that we again and again will se waves of innovations riding on online learning and mobile broadband, where Africa will through time will catch up and close the digital gap.
Teachers and teachers trainers is the key to educational success for Africa, and competencies and capability to provide quality ODL will be in the core. "If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”, an old African proverb says. And ICDE is prepared to go far together with ACDE.

1. We, believers in Lifelong Learning should mobilise for inclusive integrated lifelong learning in a digitalised world
2. We should suggest the direction to be, within the framework of Education 2030 SDG 4, inclusion and education as a public good, social justice as a point of departure.
3. Collaboration among all stakeholder, and this is also the lifeblood for having success for Education 2030.

The report asks, is this feasible:
“Based on existing quality OER repositories, educational needs, teachers and learners demands, a possible initiative intends to spark the uptake of OER and Open education in Higher Education and Upper Secondary Education, and provide the basis for a future networked global cooperation between quality OER repositories. The main outcome of a possible initiative will be a dynamic global network of OER repositories, well connected to key stakeholders and the user community.”

Open Education and Digitalized Society - Digital Learning in a Borderless World. Or:
A helicopter view on South East Asia when digitalisation is penetrating education. Could ambitious benchmarks comparing with Nordic countries be established for the 11 countries and the cooperation among them?
The era of digitalisation sets a new agenda for learning and teaching. While globalisation, technology and demography are major trends influencing all sectors of society, including higher education – ICDE observes more specific trends setting the agenda:
• Online and open goes mainstream
• OER and MOOCs fuel innovation in education
• Shift to personalised learning and assessment
• Convergence of education, cognitive psychology and neuroscience
• Lack of funding and lack of understanding of the concept of online, open and flexible education – create hurdles
• Skills and lifelong learning a new global trend, with learners in the centre, we enter the new paradigm of lifelong learning.
• Quality first
Without direction digitalisation, education can go good or bad. The message is discussed: Put the learners first, lead digital transformation – and lead transformation of education. Go open, innovative and collaborative for inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning for all.
Flexible learning: transforming education, labour market and societyicdeslides
International outlook on learning and digitalisation ICDE These are the slides from the inspiration seminar ICDE conducted in Oslo, Norway, on April 26, 2017.
This presentation, shows how flexible learning has the capacity to transform education, labour market and society, based on the societal needs and the agreed sustainable development goals. Initiatives and networks facilitated by ICDE create a vital force in the internationalisation of the ICDE member institutions and often in collaboration with important partners as the international ICDE member associations and governmental organisations as UNESCO and Commonwealth of Learning.
More than ever a transparent, accountable and democratic global organisation as ICDE is needed for the case of the learners, the educational institutions and stakeholders working to make online, open and flexible education a part of the solution for future education.
The offerings for networking, events and initiatives for sharing good practice and new knowledge are many, made possible by the members of ICDE, like the conference organised by Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning: “Reaching the Unreached”, the two events in France starting 22 – 23 May in Nancy, hosted by UNIT at the University Lorraine, in partnership with EDEN and EADTU, with the 2017 ICDE Leadership Summit, “Leadership: when transforming education through learning analytics and adaptive learning” and continuing the 24 May in Paris, hosted by UNESCO, “Visionary Leadership for Digital Transformation for the Sustainable World We Want”, in partnership with UNESCO and the project D-Transform, the great 27 ICDE World Conference in Toronto 16-19 October, hosted by Contact North: “Teaching in a Digital Age —Re-thinking Teaching & Learning” and the International Lifelong Learning conference in February 2019, Lillehammer, Norway organised and hosted by Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences - INN University.
The Global Doctoral Consortium has developed very well with 3 times more members than anticipated, now focusing on the first Doctoral Consortium as a track at the ICDE World Conference in Toronto. The GDC also collaborate with the Global OER Graduate Network http://go-gn.net
The Global Quality Network has been established, and is focusing on possible global quality guidelines for online, open and flexible education as the first task.
The new ICDE Chairs in OER , are already very active and visible, with for example the MOOCQ initiative and both presenting at the World Learning Summit in Kristiansand.
The study “Online, Open, Flexible and Technology-Enhanced (OOFAT) Models for Education” is developing very well, led by Dominic Orr, Forschungsinstitut für Bildungs- und Sozialökonomie (FIBS) together with the OpenEducation Research Hub (OER Hub).

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
