With ever-changing requirements, political influence, the inclusion of the latest technology in the way we deliver education, etc., navigating the landscape of higher education accountability becomes increasingly difficult for institutions. Since accountability in higher education is an institutional concern, and not just an administrative concern, the book speaks to the needs of learners, professionals, and researchers in all areas of higher education in navigating the ever-changing issues and trends in higher education accountability, providing direction for institutions. The book will be a fresh and current approach to address the current accountability climate in higher education.
