  • Internationalization of College Education – the Role of New Technologies
    Global Partners in Education Journal April 2013, Vol. 3 No. 1, pp. 57-69 www.gpejournal.org ISSN 2163-758X Internationalization of College Education – the Role of New Technologies Kathrin Ullrich Universidad Regiomontana, Mexico Abstract Each day the world is more connected and the population and companies think that international experience increases students’ professional capacities in the areas of communication, flexibility, innovations and ambitions among others. It is the duty of institutions of higher education to ensure that graduates have received a complete training, including skills to cope with globalization. While only a small percentage of graduates actually have the opportunity to take part in an international program abroad during their studies, internationalization of the home campus offers many possibilities. Allowing and inviting professors to participate in global education, universities must think of implementing a comprehensive strategy to modernize teaching methods and train global citizens. Introduction Society believes that it is the obligation of universities to offer young people an education that prepares them to face the challenges of a globalized world. This preparation of young people by universities necessarily includes an international vision. Some efforts have been made to internationalize the campus environment, but a real change from regionally focused teaching to true international education is missing. Traditionally universities have demonstrated some international mission (Foskett & Maringe, 2010), but they do not seem to keep up with the current reality. Most academic institutions lack a straightforward internationalization strategy. More or less, what is done by universities seems to be an answer to existing opportunities; planning, if any, is expressed only within development policies or guidelines (de Wit, Jaramillo, & Knight, 2005).
