- 7. Strategic importance ofTNE 14/06/2016 Technology,TNE’s Silent partner 7 ‘Transnational Education. International learning is moving into a new and more mature phase of flexible provision, combinations of student mobility, branch campuses, smaller hubs and wide-ranging forms of face-to-face teaching and on-line collaboration. Many of these initiatives will be based on collaborations and consortia; all will require sophisticated, reliable and secure digital solutions. In addition, the combination of ubiquitous bandwidth and location-intelligent mobile devices will require solutions that keep pace with commercially-driven digital innovation. For most universities and colleges, these solutions will be unaffordable without shared innovation and implementation.Jisc provides these services in response to the needs of its members and users.’ Professor Martin Hall, 12 February 2015
- 8. TNE support programme Technology,TNE’s Silent partner Jisc will help to enable its community to deliver itsTNE activities within the global markets of interest. We will achieve this by extending the Janet network to overseas locations through the development of new delivery partnerships and infrastructure, and by providing advice and promoting opportunities for collaboration. Where possible we will leverage existing assets as far as possible, and particularly those operated by other international research & education networks, but we will always select the most cost- effective and appropriate mechanism to meet our customers’ needs.

- BC work on definitions Teaching… but research too But morphing as it grows
- Update this from TNE Hub notes
- UK strong position UK government targets set for education exports – which are the second largest export behind healthcare in the Uk In UK, no’s of TNE students have risen over 70% since 2008/09 – numbers are now 663,915 in 14/15 Most in first degree Current rate of growth….in next 5y 2/3 UK international students will be on tne prog Main competitors are USA, Australia and Germany UK/Anglophone speaking countries are in a strong advantageous position and have the most tne European picture – some countries stronger than others, Germany Sweden, Italy, Netherlands – some as recipient countries rather than sending GEANT invested in us – high level of TNE so needed to do something about it One thing countries struggle on is data – UK strong position as invested in this – will be individual to your country but a starting point. Lets not mention BREXIT here… elephant in room – we don’t do ourselves any favours – visa restrictions etc
- What services do universities need now What is Jiscs offer Why need technology: TNE depends on advanced IT infrastructure Student experience, brand and value, reputation = quality Access to vle, academic systems assessment and examination Real time streaming Administrative systems - Research enabler (access to supercomputing, collaboration, moving large scale data) Need high quality connectivity Lowest latency (symmetric routes), low packet loss, high bandwidth crucial
- Provide what we do here to others overseas
- % IT staff don’t know 45% how TNE is delivered at their institution 38% their own network arrangements for partnerships abroad 44% if network requirements and responsibilities are included in partnership agreements 24% which aspects of TNE their network is used for 19% if their institution manages its own IT operations abroad 31% if their institution has procured connectivity from an ISP provider other than Janet 52% which data-related problems have been encountered 57% if their institutional risk assessments include IT infrastructure But also library staff, QA staff….

Aggregating demand, negotiating deals Advice to other NRENs Voice of community – govts etc Develop options Exploratory work with other stakeholders New areas of work More focus on Gulf States Africa India Thai, Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar Latin & central America Need to make map/needs reworking to sep out stakeholders Title doesn’t reflect

- And who to ask! Being doing this over 2 years now – lots of experience happy to share My Questions….. What is TNE and how is it delivered? What are the specific technical challenges associated with TNE activities? What are the specific implications of TNE for the REN community? In what ways can NRENs bring value to TNE activities? How can the global REN community work together to better support the growing TNE needs of our users? How do we work better as NRENs (both host and receiving) to shape our services to support TNE in the future What routes do we have to influence that? What role should we as NRENs have in working with our respective education sectors to improve their own understanding (and internal communications) How do we understand what TNE requirements are for the future How do we move from competition to collaboration in the sector What are our next steps!?
