Abstract

Transnational education is characterized by diversity in teaching and learning, as the learners are normally located in a host country different from the awarding institution (Machado, Tertiary Education and Management 8(2):97–112, 2002). The transnational educational model requires knowledge and information presented across national boundaries by educators or educational materials through various electronic means (Global Alliance for Transnational Education (GATE) Certification 2003). This paper discusses the academic heritage of GlobalNxt University, a purely online academic institution with a transnational outreach in terms of students and faculty that delivers degree programs through a global classroom pedagogy. The paper also examines the development, aspirations, challenges and the way forward for the university.
