Transnational Education (TNE) is an area of significant and growing interest to the UK education sector. The range and number of TNE activities, such as remote campuses or joint degree programmes, continues to grow rapidly, with expected continued growth in the coming years. TNE is also rising up the political agenda owing to its potential as a high earning export industry; ‘Supporting Transnational Education’ is one of the key policy strands in the UK Government’s ‘International Education Strategy’. Historically Janet’s offerings have been delivered almost exclusively within the UK. However in response to the growing demand from the community, we have made a strategic decision improve the support we offer for your developing TNE activities. Through our TNE strategy and support programme we seek to address your requirement for cost-effective, appropriate and reliable connectivity services overseas, integrated with our UK-based operations and Janet’s other services, to support TNE delivery on a global basis. This group is for any person or organisation interested in our developing transnational education programme of activities; this community site will be a valuable source of information to us to understand your requirements as we develop our overseas support over the coming months. We also aim for this to be a valuable source of information for informing your own TNE activities.

Janet-OBHE Survey on Higher Education Institutions TNE Requirements

19 August 2014 at 11:33am

Janet recently comissioned the Observatory for Borderless Higher Education (OBHE) to carry out a survey to establish HEIs current and future technological requirements to support their TNE activities. The Survey, An early-warning system for TNE: Understanding the future global network connectivity and service needs of UK Higher Education, was open through July 2014 and was sent to both International Director and IT Director leads in each UK HEI. We are pleased with the response rate, which reached just under 120 individual responses, with approximately 50% from each IT and International leads. OBHE will be producing a short report for the community on the survey which we will publish in autumn 2014 along with Janet's priorities for our next TNE support projects.
