  • Preparing Students to Be Global Citizens Helen L Gallagher, Glasgow Caledonian University, Scotland Thomas Peschken, Glasgow
    Preparing Students to be Global Citizens Helen L Gallagher, Glasgow Caledonian University, Scotland Thomas Peschken, Glasgow Caledonian University London, England Robert Gilmour, Glasgow Caledonian University, Scotland The Europian Conference on Education 2020 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Graduate attributes are university defined aspirations for students as they emerge into the professional world. They represent the desired transferable skills, understanding and qualities that a student may expect to achieve at the end of their learning journey; consequently, they also define the values and principles underpinning academic practices. Many HEIs seek to engender Global Citizenship(GC) in graduates to prepare them for life, employment and employability within the context of a complex and uncertain landscape and an increasingly interconnected world. The competences associated with GC include learning dimensions such as perspectives, attitudes and behaviours that cannot be directly imparted; rather students have to construct their own learning through reflection, self-challenge and self-appraisal. The role of educators is to create suitable environments and learning opportunities to support students to achieve this learning across both the formal and informal curriculum. Furthermore, in order for students to fully benefit, this learning requires to be explicit and measurable, to enable them to articulate their attributes to a potential employer or sponsor (Oliver and Jorre de St Jorre, 2018). We propose a phased approach for embedding the learning dimensions of GC throughout the curriculum using an adaptation of a ‘Exposure, Immersion, Mastery’ model (Charles et al. 2010). This approach facilitates the pre-defining of levels of competences required at each stage of the programme and for these to be recognised within learning outcomes, teaching and assessment methods.

  • Using Virtual Exchange to Advance Media Literacy Competencies Through Analysis of Contemporary Propaganda
    R. Hobbs, C. Seyferth-Zapf & S. Grafe | Journal of Media Literacy Education 2018 10(2), 152 - 168 Available online at www.jmle.org The National Association for Media Literacy Education’s Journal of Media Literacy Education 10 (2), 152 - 168 VOICES IN THE FIELD Using Virtual Exchange to Advance Media Literacy Competencies through Analysis of Contemporary Propaganda Renee Hobbs University of Rhode Island Christian Seyferth-Zapf Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg Silke Grafe Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg ABSTRACT With the rise of so-called fake news as a global phenomenon, interest in propaganda analysis has advanced along with the recognition of the fundamentally social process of interpretation. In this essay, we explore the use of cross-national dialogue among German and American undergraduate students who are seeking to better understand how media messages are interpreted and how they inform and guide the civic actions of citizens. We describe and analyze five lessons that used a virtual exchange comprised of a variety of digital media platforms, texts, and technologies to support the cross-national study of contemporary propaganda. We observed that cross-national dialogue enables students to gain sensitivity to the role of cultural context in interpreting propaganda. Rather than conceptualize propaganda education as an ideologically benign set of context-free skills, pedagogies that include opportunities for cross-national dialogue foreground the importance of cultural specificity as a means to unpack the complex discursive context of propaganda as digital political communication. Keywords: media literacy, media competence, propaganda, university, college, undergraduate, curriculum and instruction, context, meaning, interpretation, education, Germany, United States The strategic use of communication and information in order to sway public opinion has long been called propaganda and it has always been a significant area of interest for media and communication scholars.

  • Effects of Virtual Exchange in the EFL Classroom on Students' Cultural and Intercultural Sensitivity
    Computer-Assisted Language Learning Electronic Journal, 21(3), 2020, 74-87 Effects of Virtual Exchange in the EFL classroom on Students' Cultural and Intercultural Sensitivity Eric Hagley ([email protected]) Visiting Fellow, Research Center for Computing and Multimedia Studies, Hosei University, Japan Abstract Some aspects of simple Virtual Exchange (VE), such as it not being academically challenging enough, have been criticized in the past (Ware & Kramsch, 2005; O'Dowd, 2016). However, students with very limited language skills often cannot realize all the advantages of VE. Nevertheless, there are many positives they can attain when participating in simple VE. Since 2016, almost 17,000 beginner level EFL students and some 300 teachers from 15 countries have participated in the International Virtual Exchange Project (IVEProject). They interact online using English as a lingua franca on a Moodle platform. In each 8-week exchange researched, students completed pre- and post-questionnaires measuring their intercultural sensitivity and understanding of their own culture. The surveys incorporated components from the Intercultural Sensitivity Scale (Chen & Starosta, 2000) and a developmental model of intercultural sensitivity (Bennett, 2011). Mean scale scores showing the significance of differences were checked using the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test for hypothesis testing of repeated measurements on a single sample. This paper looks at the results from 2 separate VE in 2016 and 2017 when 303 and 264 Japanese students, respectively, completed the questionnaires. Improvements in students' intercultural sensitivity, appreciation of other cultures, interactional confidence, and motivation to learn the L2 resulted. Discussion of the implications of using VE with beginner level EFL students follows.

  • Position Paper: Virtual Exchange in the European Higher Education Area
    Position paper: Virtual Exchange in the European Higher 2014 Education Area This position paper defines virtual exchange and offers a vision of the role of virtual exchange in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and beyondi. This paper has been developed by the INTENT project group and is intended for distribution and undersigning by educational institutions, organizations and networks. What is Virtual Exchange? Virtual exchanges are technology-enabled, sustained, people to people education programsii. These entail the engagement of groups of students in online intercultural exchange, interaction and collaboration with peers from partner classes in geographically distant locations, under the guidance of educators and/or expert facilitators. This practice is also known as Collaborative online International Learning (COIL) and Globally Networked Learning (GNL). In Foreign Language education it is more commonly known as Telecollaboration and Online Intercultural Exchange (OIE) iii, and is employed to foster intercultural dialogue, the development of digital and critical literacies as well as foreign language skills. Context: Current issues in Europe and the EHEA Europe is currently facing many challenges and higher education is one place where these challenges need to be addressed. The European Commission argues: "In a changing world, Europe’s graduates need the kind of education that enables them to engage articulately as committed, active, thinking, global citizens as well as economic actors in the ethical, sustainable development of our societies"iv. We believe that: The world is increasingly interdependent and there is an urgent need to develop a deeper understanding of this interdependency and to address major global challenges through multilateral and intercultural collaboration.

  • The Faculty of Medicine, Harvard University
    Chiu-An Wang Chiu-An Wang died on October 24, 1996, bringing his remarkable career to a muted close. He had just turned 82. Chiu-An was born and raised near Canton, the eldest son in a family of nine children, his father a minister in the Rhenish Lutheran church. After graduating from the Pui Ying Middle School, Chiu- An earned both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Parasitology at Lignan University in Canton before attending Peking Union Medical College for a year. Then, with the support and advice of a paternal aunt who was not only a gynecologist and obstetrician, but notably one of the first women in China educated in western medicine, he transferred to Harvard Medical School in the war-time Class of 1943B. Following graduation from medical school he went on to a surgical appointment at The Massachusetts General Hospital, three nine-month tours of duty as surgical assistant resident – a “Nine Month Wonder” – giving place in 1946 to returning veterans who had pre-War residency commitments. In the fall of 1946, Chiu-An, or C-A, as he was generally known by his colleagues, returned to Canton with Alice, his Wellesley bride, daughter of the former Chinese Ambassador to the United States. Their transition back to a politically turbulent, postwar China was not without hazard. C-A was promptly appointed Chief of Surgery at the 150-year-old Canton Hospital, and two years later, became Chief of Surgery and Assistant Director of the Hackett Medical Center, then supported by the American Presbyterian Mission, now Canton Number 2 People’s Hospital.

  • European Virtual Exchange (EVE): Student Mobility Without Moving
    European Virtual Exchange (EVE): Student Mobility without Moving Carlos Alario-Hoyos and Carlos Delgado Kloos Department of Telematics Engineering, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Madrid, Spain {calario, cdk}@it.uc3m.es Abstract. Universities are striving to provide a more flexible educational offer- ing and at the same time to improve their internationalization strategy. EVE (Eu- ropean Virtual Exchange) is a program created by a consortium of seven Euro- pean universities with the aim to offer a set of courses with mutual credit recog- nition to their home students, but without the need to travel to the host university, and with the possibility to combine courses from several host universities. Courses offered as part of EVE are regular undergraduate or postgraduate courses in their host university. However, they include a fully online version of the course for EVE students to take them, as well as regular synchronous encounters be- tween teachers and students through videoconferences. Exams are created and evaluated by the host institution, but students take them in a face-to-face tradi- tional way, with supervision by staff from the students’ home institution. This paper presents the experience of offering and teaching a course on Data Struc- tures with Java by Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) as part of the EVE program. This course has been part of EVE for two consecutive academic years with 24 students overall. The course deploys its main content in a local instance of the Open edX platform, bringing together regular UC3M students who take the face-to-face version of the course but get the virtual version as extra support, and EVE students.
