A misconception about the internationalisation of university courses is that they are specifically designed for students who fit the DEST classification of international students. This is not the case with CECR or many other CQUniversity courses. The students that I have engaged with through online learning have in many cases global perspectives through there work commitments, cross cultural connections, family histories etc. The internationalisation of aspects of CECR is embedded to an extent in the student activity, and assessment items in which students are encouraged to contextualise their reported activities. Understanding different jurisdictions and cultural sensitivities while grounding engagement strategies within a global perspective would seem to be a fruitful practice.
Reflecting on community engagement courses is this evident?
This blog is to assist students in the Community Engagement and Conflict Resolution for Water Planners course. The course is part of the Masters for Water Resources Management program currently run through the ICEWaRM consortium.
