Increased competition, diversification and advances in educational technologies have been accompanied by the rapid expansion of online transnational higher education. Alongside these developments there has also been an increased focus on quality audit and assurance of transnational programs. In this context, Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia in partnership with the African Virtual University (AVU) in Nairobi, Kenya, delivered accredited business studies programs to students in four AVU partner institutions between 2004 and 2008.
