Many people use it interchangeably with "globalization," adding to the confusion. There is no truly universal definition of internationalization and this has allowed non-academic entities to become more involved in driving it forward, but away from its academic, Humanities-based core. The increasing use of technology, especially massive open online courses (MOOCs), presents a further challenge and the rising costs of providing an international experience effectively limits internationalization to a small number of students. Despite the changing higher education landscape, the university maintains an important role in developing internationalization strategies. However, in order to be successful, these universities must develop their own international pathways and rely less on what other universities and nonacademic organizations are doing.
