They argue that by knowing what parts of the student experience are considered the most important by students the institutions can know how to effectively market themselves to potential students, as well as how to actually create an environment that meets those expectations so that they can retain the students that they attract. The authors go through their methodology of a questionnaire, then report the findings that showed that student-centeredness, campus climate and instructional effectiveness have a big impact on how satisfied students are with their overall experiences. Their results also showed that strategies to attract students and to retain students could differ with different areas needing to be emphasized. The article concludes by noting that the most effective way to recruit students is through positive word of mouth, where satisfied students are able to recruit potential students just by talking positively about their …show more content…

Without knowing what is important to students, attempting to recruit them would be fruitless without blind luck. At the same time, it also points to the importance of improving the satisfaction of current students in order to reach potential students. One of the strengths of this article is that it thoroughly questions actual students on what is important to them in their educational experiences and their level of satisfaction both overall and in those specific areas. At the same time, one of the weaknesses (that they do identify in the article) is that not every factor of student satisfaction can be taken into consideration. Examples that they provide is the influence of the prestige of the institution, price and student grades. Still, I personally find this material to be very helpful when thinking about recruiting students. Knowing the importance of each area helps to craft a plan that would be able to effectively recruit students. At the same time, recognizing the importance of the satisfaction of current students and their potential role in recruiting students through word of mouth is essential. I think that this material provides a solid groundwork to help schools and faculties recruit and retain

The textbook reviewed was Pearson’s World History, The Modern Era, 2016 edition. The textbook and additional programs included were created through collaborative efforts between educators, social studies experts, and students (Ellis & Esler, 2016). The Hazleton Area School is a district that educates a student population of almost 10,900 students. The district employs more than 700 teachers (Hazleton Area School District, 2017). So needless to say the purchase of new text books at the beginning of the 2016-2017 school was an enormous undertaking and a relief for educators to be able to utilize an up to date textbook that incorporates technological opportunities for the student, bringing social studies into the digital era (Sedon, 2017).

The growing need for higher education has necessitated the need for many students seek further studies in a range of international universities and colleges outside their home country with the aim of gaining better education atmosphere. While in these international institutions the students tend to find a different ethnic and cultural group of people and environment that to some extend comes with various challenges. The institution brings together diverse cultures from all walks of life who are required to relate and work together as a group for the common goal of gaining and advancing their knowledge. This may pose a challenge for the majority of the international students because they will have to adjust accordingly in order to fit in

Transnational education has a close relationship with the Bologna Declaration, its follow-up process (six objectives) and intended goals. The creation of a ‘European higher education area’ interacts with transnational education in a number of positive and negative ways. Transnational education represents opportunities as well as threats. European education providers cannot isolate themselves from external non-European transnational forces, nor is it sensible to ignore the unintended consequences that the construction of a European education space will have. Competition between European transnational education providers, as well as from non-European providers, is likely to increase.
