HARPER COLLEGE INTERNATIONAL STUDIES AND PROGRAMS and THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT OFFICE PRESENT
FOURTH ANNUAL DEVELOP YOUR WORLD:
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION SUMMIT 2014
Technologizing Internationalization
The theme of our Fourth Annual Summit plays off of the title of Walter Ong’s seminal work exploring how the transition
from orality to literacy influenced culture and changed human consciousness, we hope to explore the equally enduring
opportunities afforded by technology for advancing an internationalization agenda.

PROGRAM OF EVENTS

9:00 a.m. Keynote Address, Wojcik Center Boardroom, W214-215
“Strategies, Pedagogies, and Technologies for Collaborative Online International Learning”
Leaders in higher education often discuss their desire for students to engage the globalizing world, but not all students are able
to participate in study abroad or exchange programs. There are, however, other paths through which students can gain a
meaningful intercultural and global awareness. COIL fosters meaningful, course-based exchanges between faculty and
students with peers abroad, through the use of Internet-based tools. Jon Rubin, Director of SUNY COIL Center, will offer
attendees an overview of this innovative approach to networked education, give examples of its successful application, and
suggest strategies for building similar initiatives at other campuses.
10:20 a.m. Refreshment Break, Wojcik Center, Second Floor Lobby
10:45 a.m. “Developing Collaborative Online International Courses” An Interactive Workshop, Wojcik Center, W214-215
A workshop and dialogue between Jon Rubin and John Fowler with participating faculty focused on the conceptualization of
international collaborative courses or modules. Participating faculty will examine case studies and examples from different
disciplines, learn about issues related to the faculty partnering process, and discuss the need for sensitivity to other institutional
practices and cultures when developing collaborative online courses
12:00 p.m. International Buffet Lunch, Wojcik Center Dining Room
1:15 – 2:30 p.m. “Engaging Students in International Team Collaborations” Wojcik Center, W214-215
Professor Tim Newby, Learning Design and Technology, Purdue University, will discuss the growing need to engage our
undergraduate students in international, cross-cultural experiences. In an effort to involve every education student in an
international experience, we explored the idea of using a shared wiki to enable students in a required, core course to interact
with international peers.
