Globalization in Higher Education and the Emerging Meta University

Organized by National University of Singapore



Science has long been a collaborative, international endeavor. Higher education has been more focused on individual residential campuses, and dominated in recent decades by the American research university model. But as we enter the 21 st century, the forces of globalization and competition, growing aspirations and excellence in Asia, and above all the Internet and World Wide Web are creating new possibilities. Experience with MIT's OpenCourseWare and other developments of open-source platforms, content, and pedagogy suggest the emergence of a global Meta University - a new framework of open material and platforms on which much of higher education can be constructed or enhanced.
