A Model for Developing International Education: Bringing It All Together

There are numerous influencing factors to be considered when developing international education. This Model for Developing International Education was designed to articulate these factors and how they impact on each other. The factors have been grouped into 3 main components: Instructional Design, Communication, and Culture. The model reflects the dynamic, fluent interaction between these components. It is based on a review of the literature, informal collegial discussions, and personal experiences. Formal feedback of the initial model was gathered from colleagues with considerable expertise in international education. Minor revisions to improve clarity were then made to the model based on the feedback. (Contains 1 figure.)
