Abstract
Recent years have seen massive growth in transnational education, and this appears to have arisen from strategies of risk mitigation among traditional educational institutions (Adam, 2001). The results of this process have been for universities from the UK, Australia, and America, in particular, to enter into partnerships with providers around the world who then deliver the universities' programmes at a distance. A consequence of these developments has been a trend in parts of Higher Education for pursuit of growth in non-traditional market segments to change in focus from distance education and to transnational partner-based modes of delivery. However, rather than taking the view that transnationalisation is displacing distance education, the central argument of the chapter is that this process of transnationalisation could actually be understood as a developing form of distance education itself, and it may be time to widen prevailing definitions of distance education.

In turn, the massification of higher education resulted in the evaluation of social/cultural, economic, political, and technological outcomes and advances and trends in the 21 st century. The growth and evolution of these higher education systems presents challenges and opportunities.

ICT in Teaching and Learning and Management of Massification
Conceptually, the term massification once mentioned, provokes a variety of meanings. To a greater extent it refers to the escalating expansion and widening of access to tertiary education (Kajubi, 1997). In another context massification is looked at as diversity of institutions and programmes. Mohamedbhai (2008) views massification as a situation where the ratio of educational resources and class numbers became incompatible giving rise to stressful learning conditions thus loss of quality and lowering of standard. In this study massification will be perceived in the context of widening access and increased enrollment in higher education and how it has influenced the quality teaching, learning and management.
