Monitoring the Quality and Progress of Internationalization

Abstract

This article emphasizes the importance of monitoring and evaluating internationalization initiatives and introduces some preliminary measures to track the progress and quality of different elements and strategies of internationalization. It examines the notions of quality and quality assessment as they relate to internationalization. The concept of internationalization tracking measures is introduced as one approach that institutions can consider to monitor and review their internationalization strategies. A framework and an example of draft tracking measures are put forward for discussion and testing. These measures are still a work in progress. They need to be pilot tested, analyzed, and refined. Institutions need to think about developing a series of tracking measures that are relevant and useful to their own priorities and stage of development. Some of the proposed tracking measures will be more useful than others. Additional tracking measures will need to be developed.
