The Electronic Database for Global Education (EDGE)
Paver, William J.; Gough, Dale
College and University, v81 n4 p79-82 2006
Few would dispute that much has changed in the field of international credential evaluation in the past twenty years. Support for fully staffed international admissions has waned as directors of admission have faced increasing challenges in the areas of recruitment and enrollment management while being faced with budget constraints and increased workloads. For two years, a group of dedicated professionals from AACRAO's International Education Services has been working to develop an entirely new electronic, Web-based comprehensive system that will assist offices and individuals charged with evaluating foreign credentials. The project, the Electronic Database for Global Education (EDGE), is designed to eventually cover more than 100 countries and all of the major credentials offered within those countries. In this article, the authors present the features of EDGE. (Contains 11 figures.)
