Roundtable session
Research and practice show a disconnect between International Educators and Educational Developers (EDs) in the Internationalisation of the Curriculum at Home (IoCaH). Drawing on findings from an international research project, this session investigates how these stakeholders can collaborate to improve both the quality of instructional design and the learning process and outcomes. Participants will learn specific strategies for involving EDs in the IoCaH process in their own contexts.

She also serves as a policy advisor in matters of Internationalisation at Home, (co)designs professional development opportunities as well facilitates dialogue about internationalisation and digitisation in a community of practice. In the European University alliance ENLIGHT, she supports the implementation of challenge-based international learning, advises on the curricular integration of IaH measures, virtual exchange and blended intensive programmes, and works together with colleagues across the network to develop micro-credentials.
