Title: High-tech Solutions for Global Competence Programmes
Presenter: Bert Vercamer
 
Research shows that merely coming into contact with cultural differences doesn’t develop global competence in students. However, they do develop these skills when taught within a developmental, experiential and holistic framework.
This workshop offers three frameworks that can provide a foundation for your curriculum to build global competence in both inbound and outbound students.
As many people believe that global competence educational programmes require a high-touch, low-tech learning environment, we will also explore how you can leverage technology as a companion to in-person learning, and address strategies to overcome personal and institutional resistance to using technology in educational programs.
 
We will explore the role technology can play in meeting the following challenges:
1) How can we best train students on global competence when we are not in the same physical space
2) How can we use technology to scale and cater to the training needs of students both in our campuses and those heading off to study abroad?
3) How can we ensure that these programs are affordable?
4) How can we ensure that these programs are accessible for people with different abilities?
 
You will leave with the skills to deliver blended learning sessions on global competence that are engaging, attractive, and effective for your audience.
Who should attend:  
Tertiary educators who would like to increase their understanding of how to integrate intercultural learning and global competence into existing curriculum and student mobility programs – by leveraging technology - should join this course.
 
(*Minimum of 20 attendees required for workshop to proceed.)
