Abstract
Many universities in industrialized countries maintain branch campuses overseas, and have students who are learning (face-to-face, blended, e-learning) in countries that are different from the country of the academic institution. This approach of internationalization in postsecondary education is referred to as transnational education (Allport, 2002; Goodfellow, Lea, González, & Mason, 2001).
