The impact of the digital divide on student mobility “We had to pay three times more than we were initially paying for broadband internet so that I could attend my virtual classes. I was always nervous that I would experience a power cut in the middle of my classes or worse in the middle of an assessment… We had to make sure the generator was always readily available, which came at an extra cost as it runs on fuel.” Such was the experience of Zimbabwean student Tinashe , whose plans to start a masters degree in the United Kingdom were interrupted by COVID-19. ....
Morgan State University Portland State University Sultan Moulay Slimane University Zayed University Over two years, 1,500 students across all 15 institutions in Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States, including at The University of New Mexico, will participate in a virtual exchange supported by the Initiative under Connected Classrooms. “At the core of Connected Classrooms is a desire to forge meaningful, equitable partnerships between institutions in Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States through virtual exchange. While the Stevens Initiative provides the support and framework to make virtual exchange sustained on their campuses, these new institutions – including their faculty, administrators, and students – are collectively championing this effort. They are the true leaders and we’re humbled to partner with them,” said Christine Shiau, Managing Director, the Stevens Initiative at the Aspen Institute. ....

A joint press release stated that in doing so, ASEAN and the EU will share experience, including the EU’s Erasmus scheme. The EU has allocated EUR5 million for this purpose, and the support will build on the previous successful SHARE programme, which ran since 2015. ....
Share A campus course Intercultural Sensitivity has begun at TSU. It is designed for students to communicate with their peers from another country as an alternative in a situation of limited mobility. In it, students unite in international teams and work together on assigned tasks, improving their skills of working in a global virtual environment and developing intercultural communication skills. The approbation of the course showed the success of this new experience of interaction between different departments of TSU and international partners. In the second semester of the 2020-2021 academic year, students took the Intercultural Sensitivity English course. Joint development and implementation of the course is the result of collaboration between TSU and Saxion University of Applied Sciences, School of Applied Psychology and Human Resource Management (Netherlands). The course is designed to develop intercultural competence and gain positive experience in project teams usin ....
Over-optimism and under-investment in IHE export models Over recent years, three of the four leading English-speaking countries in international higher education (IHE) – the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia – have seen their market share in international students reduced, in spite of some enrolment growth. Canada has been the exception. Competition from non-anglophone countries, in particular China and other Asian countries but also from continental Europe (with the two leading countries France and Germany, as well as others, including Russia and the Netherlands), and an increase in intraregional mobility between neighbouring countries elsewhere, is one factor for this decline. Unwelcoming immigration policies in the UK and the US have been another factor, and, in the UK, Brexit. ....
