In the world’s rapid change over the last fifty years, education has become both a local and an international business. New conceptual frameworks for education, new global and local populations seeking education and new technologies that can aid education intersect with more traditional national and private economic interests. How a new educational model—the Global Cloud University inaugurated by the Carl Benz Academy—positions itself in this mix of forces and opportunities is the subject of this book. The authors address this problem by taking an historical look at some of the goals of education, some of the constraints placed upon reaching those goals, as well as existing educational models, focusing on three in particular: transnational education, corporate colleges, and on-line and virtual delivery. Finally, the article highlights key issues in the development of an effective new model.
