This volume explores the implications of student mobility on higher education across the Asia Pacific Region. Student Mobility has become a major feature of higher education throughout the world, and most particularly over the past two decades within the Asia Pacific Region. This system of mobility is entering a period of profound predicted change, created by the social and economic transformations being occasioned by the rapid increased uses of artificial intelligence (AI), a process that is being increasingly framed as the ¿Fourth Industrial Revolution¿ or Work 4.0, a process that is widely predicted to evoke fundamental changes in the ways that work is performed and who does it. This volume explores various dimensions of this process, examining various aspects of the process as they are affecting national and regional economies even as the phenomenon produces a wide variety of engagements with the global economy as a whole.

This book examines several emerging trends in higher education, including artificial intelligence and the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on higher education transformation over the past couple of years. All higher education leaders and policy makers are dealing with the aftermath and continuing battle they face regarding higher education within the context of COVID-19. AI and the 4IR are also areas that impact every aspect of higher education, especially as disciplines are forced to provide credentials and relevance aligned to the workforce and economic needs. The chapters provide regional and country case studies from within the Asia Pacific Region.
