1INTRODUCTIONUniversity internationalization represents a
significant strategic theme and major development trend of higher
education in the world. It is held as one of the Open University of
China (OUC)s core ideas. Internationalization is of great strategic
significance in improving the quality of open universities, and
become to a strategic task. Issues on both theories and practice
are in great need of further study in this respect.
the study mainly probes into four issues The first is
connotation,which is how to understand university
internationalization, Open University internationalization, and the
relevant concepts. The second is indicator,which means the ways of
assessment, indicators included and the building of the indicators.
The third is strategy,which involves strategic measures to promote
the fast development of Open University internationalization. The
fourth is policy,which refer to policy options to encourage the
smooth advancement of Open University internationalization.
2 The theoretical issues relating to the internationalization of
universitiesBy analyzing and learning from the findings of
international and domestic scholars, a triangle model is put
forward in the study to define the connotation of Open University
internationalization.
The model involves four elements, which are goal, level,
capacity and activities.
In the model,the goal is the core,the level and capacity is the
key,and the activities are the foundation.2.2 The Identification of
Indicators that May be Adopted by the OUC2.2.1Internationalization
Indicators of Open Universities is a New Research Topic of
Practice-Oriented Innovation2.2.2Its Improper to Give Each
Indicator Uniform Fixed Weight.2.2.3The Design of Each Indicator is
the Process of Individual Choice in Line With Different Purposes of
Use2.2.4The Construction of Indicator Framework Should Embody the
Characteristic Indicators of Distance Education Based on General
Indicators of University Internationalization3WITH RESPECT TO
STRATEGIC MEASURES TO ADVANCE OPEN UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONALIZATION
DEVELOPMENT3.1To Put Organization, Personnel and Funds in Place is
the Prerequisite to Ensure the Development of
Internationalization3.2The Formulation of Strategic Plan for
Internationalization Development is a Major Guarantee to Achieve
the Development Goal of Internationalization3.3The Implementation
of Internationalization Development Projects is Strong Support to
Advance Internationalization Development4 POLICY RESEARCH FINDINGS
TO SUPPORT OPEN UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONALIZATION
DEVELOPMENT4.1Improving Related Legal System of Distance Education
to Ensure Service Quality of International Education4.2Open Share
Superior Educational Resources to Achieve International Synergistic
Innovation and Complementation4.3Establishing Online Open Classes
to Push forward Virtual Internationalization
Development4.4Promoting International learning outcome
Accreditation and Credit Transfer to Realize the Communications
between National and International Education Systems4.5Encouraging
Teachers at Home and Abroad to Form a Scientific Research Community
for Online Teaching to Push One-On-One Cooperation5CONCLUSIONThe
study on Open University internationalization ways mainly deals
with strategic measures and policy options.
These measures and policies try to fit in with the orientation
of open universities and the characteristics of distance education,
and are especially focused on web-based virtual university
internationalization. some problems of the studyFirst, the
connotation of Open University internationalization needs further
defining and analyzing. Second, the Open University
internationalization indicator framework is not systematic enough
and remains to be improved and further proved. Third, the strategic
measures and policy put forward in the study needs to be put to
practice and tested.
What needs to be done in the next stepto strengthen
international comparative study and empirical study based on the
current indicator framework of internationalization to form the
Open University internationalization indicator system;to make pilot
implementation of the strategic measures and related polices to
explore appropriate mechanisms for implementation, management and
evaluation.
