Internationalisation
Internationalisation has been identified as one of three aspects of learning beyond boundaries where Warwick excels. There are a very wide range of ways to engage students in internationalisation, including student mobility, learning from fellow students, internationalisation in the curriculum and much more. The exchange of ideas, practices and experience across the disciplines is always much valued by colleagues and this Learning Circle enables Fellows to engage in such exchanges.
Exploring the International Awarding Gap
Project Leads: Thomas Greenaway, and Simon Brown
Project Team: Zi Wang, Clytie Tian, and Pawel Plonka
This project seeks to investigate the international awarding gap at Warwick, and the factors influencing this across the student lifecycle and experience (e.g. language, induction, pedagogy, assessment, support). It aims to explore the possible reasons for the awarding gap, capture student experiences and staff perspectives, identify and share exemplars of good practice and recommend actions that can be taken (both within Warwick, and potentially further afield) to close and ultimately eliminate this gap.
Internationalising the Curriculum: Globally Inclusive Educational Design
Project Leads: Ross Forman, Bryan Brazeau, and Freeha Azmat
Project Team: Jo Angouri, Dani Pearson, Sandra Pereira, and Leticia Villamediana Gonzalez
The Internationalisation of the Curriculum project asks how we can create a truly inclusive global curriculum across disciplines within our pedagogical design and development. This co-creative project combines rigorous pedagogical research, primary data collection across the region, and careful critical analysis to produce academic and other outputs that aim to transform curricula at Warwick and beyond across all disciplines.
Members of the Learning Circle have worked on a number of funded projects, sharing progress, outcomes and outputs at Circle meetings to ensure that each informs the other. Examples of such projects are:
