E-role play for inquiry into transnational education

This paper was inspired by the need to evaluate and make recommendations regarding the future directions of Swinburne University’s Transnational Education program. This paper postulates that a qualitative approach to data collection and analysis, using online role play, would produce more meaningful and productive results. The cultural awakening brought about by this process of assuming and acting out roles based on life in Australia may encourage more students to give further consideration to the possibility of completing their degrees in Australia.
