Two international educators who use these media for international student recruitment and managing international and study-abroad students, both on- and off campus, will share their experiences. A marketing professional who uses all of these instruments for outreach on every level will also provide an interesting perspective. This session will facilitate information sharing and the exchange of best practices. social, twitter, facebook, social network, youtube no 1:33:33 5 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 14:00:00 +0200 eaieinterculturaltoolbox3bync Margaret Pusch, Ingrid Gehrke, Jeanine Gregersen-Hermans, Darla Deardorff Many international educators often conduct cross-cultural training as part of their work. This highly interactive session will introduce participants to a variety of activities that can be used in different settings within international education, including pre-departure orientations, new international student orientations and other cross-cultural presentations. What are some experiential learning activities that are good to include in such cross-cultural presentations and trainings that help develop students’ intercultural competence? What are some key points to know when designing and facilitating cross-cultural training? In addition to these engaging activities, information will be presented on experiential learning theories and an intercultural framework for training. no 1:21:39 6 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 08:30:00 +0200 eaiemobilityflowsbync Timo Ahonen, Thomas Buntru Wenzler, Dennis Murray, Linda Tobash, Fazela Haniff What happens when a country drastically changes its immigration rules/requirements, when an epidemic breaks out a country suddenly becomes politically instable? Student flows will be affected and rapidly change directions. How prepared are universities to deal with this sudden loss or sudden increase? How well developed is the risk management? Can universities have an influence on decisions that are been taken, which seriously influence university activities? This session will touch upon the latest events that are having an impact on student flows and how they are being dealt with. no 1:29:59 7 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 12:30:00 +0200 eaieqsworldbync Ben Sowter no 42:31 8 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 10:30:00 +0200 eiaeiahopeningsessionbync Jos Beelen, Carlos Teissier, Betty Leask In this session, an introduction to the concept of internationalisation at home (IaH) will be followed by an update of recent developments in IaH in Europe and across the world, particularly in Australia. Examples of good practice from the Universidad Regiomontana in Mexico – a university active in IaH for a number of years – will be covered, including a discussion on the ‘Global classroom’, one of its newest strategies for IaH. For this purpose, a network of institutions across all continents was created that interacts in virtual sessions, connecting students in one classroom in one country with others studying the same subject in other parts of the world. The discussion will focus on this example and on trends in the internationalisation of curricula. internationalisation, curricula no 1:02:17 9 Thu, 16 Sep 2010 14:00:00 +0200 eaieacebync Herman de Leeuw, Margit Schatzman, Patricia Pol, Christian Tauch, Tim Birtwistle The ACE Opening session will be a panel discussion, focusing on two issues: university Bachelor programmes and whether they are fully established and recognised in countries with binary systems; and learning outcomes.
