Abstract	This paper examines how a small university in eastern Canada implemented a form of cross-border education with several partnerships in Bermuda and the Caribbean. The university made the transition from a campus-based university to a more inclusive, global institution. Capacity-building at the institution increased during this time of rapidly growing global competition as this university shifted to a cross-border, trans-modal education through programme mobility. The international programmes that were initiated employed a variety of multi-mode technologies within a framework of blended learning. This approach to learning was negotiated through participation in a community of inclusive practices, acknowledging the value of local contributions. In the final section, reflections on the process of developing global partnerships and lessons learnt are provided. (As Provided).
