International MOUs: Lessons Learned From Partnerships with International Universities
Level: Applied
Location: Ballard
Establishing and managing successful partnerships with universities is a key aspect of internationalization for many institutions. As continuing education programs find future growth overseas, and increase global student mobility, they quickly discover that cultivating partnerships often takes longer than expected and there are many speed bumps along the way. In this presentation, members of UPCEA's International Network will share experiences and lessons learned frompartnerships with universities and secondary schools in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and Australia, as well as share a case study on developing strategic partnerships to increase global student mobility at US institutions.

	Leveraging Technology to Create Linguistic Bridges in the Online Space Level: Foundational Location: Ballard Isolation, anonymity, and a lack of personalization are common challenges to developing successful dynamic distance learning programs. In addition, the number of students taking coursework in a second language continues to grow. By leveraging technologies and course design strategies, we create accessible, engaging, and personalized online learning spaces. In examples of two inverse contexts, pedagogical and design approaches are highlighted: non-native English speakers enrolled in continuing education coursework at the University of Washington and second language learners of Spanish in an experiential-based online language program at the University of Florida.
