Abstract:
Enhancing quality student learning is an essential mandate for global higher education institutions and global higher education leaders are subjected to immense pressures to improve the education of students. Global higher education has been characterized as a process-centered institution, concerned with “how to educate” rather than assessing what students learn. Productivity mandates accept that systematic performance assessment of clearly identified standards will lead to improved performance. For global higher education, assessment and evaluation are prerequisites for addressing quality measures to improve student learning, retention and graduation. Global higher education institutions should examine learning through the applications of technology particularly as they impact student performance.
