Internationalisation of higher education A definition “Internationalization at the national, sector and institutional levels is defined as the process of integrating an international, intercultural or global dimension into the purpose, functions or delivery of post-secondary education.” (Jane Knight, Journal of International Higher Education, no. 33, 2003)

  6. Challenges of internationalisation at smaller institution • Few courses in English • Few courses that are developed with a view to attract students from abroad • Low number of academic staff and thereby fewer who are interested in internationalisation and have the necessary language competence • Few international projects and international partners • Low mobility in both academics and students

ICT and Learning – ITL103 • 55 students • 14 of them are foreign students, mostly from from Poland but also two Spanish students The project has the following didactic and research objectives: To integrate Norwegian students (from Nesna University College) and Polish students (from Szczecin and Torun University) to realize a joint e-learning course within the scope of Social Aspects of ICT. To work towards formulating the foundation for didactics of cross-cultural education in online setting. To investigate communication behaviour of course participants within the patterns of linguistic and non-linguistic modes of communication. To obtain an insight into the symbolic culture of digital environment with the focus on participatory mechanisms used to provide information and feedback The theoretical perspective framing the research is Social Constructionism and Symbolic Interactionism .

  9. Increased international knowledge, experience and language competence The course ITL/ITB103 will be the corner stone of something the parties involved hope will lead to Polish and Norwegian students studying and working together online within a broader range of online courses related to the field of Educational ICT.
