Seminar - Building and assessing intercultural competence in international higher education
Focus
The development and assessment of international and intercultural learning at many institutions is plagued by questions.
What knowledge, skills and attitudes should graduates have, how can these be captured in measurable outcomes, and how should they be evaluated? In this session we will hear from Darla
Deardorff, author of Demystifying Outcomes Assessment for International Educators: A Practical Approach (Stylus, 2015) as well as from colleagues at Utrecht University about tackling these questions.
