Learning Café CNT25
Developing International Projects in Virtual Learning Environments
Join this round table session for insights into how to design projects for international collaboration using technological solutions. We will discuss solutions to challenges, such as: not knowing colleagues at other universities, who could be a perfect match for your international teaching project; not having expertise in applying appropriate didactical approaches and tools to run international online learning projects or: lacking experience in managing transnational projects, using remote collaboration tools to handle intercultural issues in an appropriate way.

Lecturer-researcher, Hogeschool van Amsterdam, The Netherlands
As a lecturer in Publishing and Media, I enjoy introducing students into the fascinating world of international trade publishing. I have worked in the book publishing industry (crime novels) and I now teach publishing and media concepting at the Media, Information & Communication Programme.
My research focusses on lecturer's ways of curating (digital) learning materials in Higher Education. Also, I am involved in several international projects at our university, and am looking into ways to have students collaborate across borders remotely, using digital platforms.
