Home, but not Alone: Information and Communication Technology and Internationalisation at Home

Christiaan van den Berg

Stefaan van Ryssen

In this article, the various aspects of the effect of information and communication technology (ICT) will be discussed against the backdrop of the introduction of Internationalisation at Home (IaH) in universities. The article will examine a number of issues involved in introducing ICT as a tool in educational development, the relationship between form and content, and the various development fields in which ICT is used, such as curriculum and student management, research, and the virtual university. This will lead to questions regarding benchmarking and quality management. Other concerns that will be addressed are the cultural differences of the users in cyberspace and the dichotomy involved, and the bottlenecks and constraints that have to be addressed for ICT to be all it can be as a tool for true internationalisation of our higher education.

Key Words: internationalisation • ICT • knowledge society • curriculum development • multiculturalism
