2019 Spring Forum: The evolving classroom

Higher education institutions have become more internationally focused than ever before, with a geographically and culturally diverse staff and student body increasingly becoming the norm. This has a direct effect on classrooms. For example, curricula include internationally relevant subject matter and make use of pedagogical techniques that facilitate intercultural learning. Technological innovations, facilitated by globalisation, have also expanded the possibilities for international and intercultural teaching and learning. This issue aims to address these questions, explore ways that the internationalisation of the university classroom can expand, and analyse current and future implications for the higher education sector more generally.
