Fostering Global Health Practice: An Undergraduate Nursing Student Exchange and International Service-Learning Program.
The Journal of nursing education, 2019Co-Authors: Joanne Noone, Trish Kohan, Maria Teresa Hernandez, Delcy Tibbetts, Rachel RichmondAbstract:Nurses increasingly are identified as key health care members on global health initiatives, and nursing curricula should address this competency to prepare Students to work in a global environment. This article will share how processes and structures were established for an international undergraduate nursing Student Exchange and service-learning experience between two schools of nursing. The goals of the project were to (a) implement an annual nursing Student Exchange of approximately 3 weeks in length; (b) select eight Students from each school, accompanied by a faculty member, to participate; and (c) provide opportunities for Students to participate in service-learning assessments in identified communities. To date, an annual Exchange is in its fourth year of existence. An international service-learning opportunity is one way to improve nursing Students' ability to provide culturally competent health care. [J Nurs Educ. 2019;58(4):235-239.].

24/7 Software Development in Virtual Student Exchange Groups: Redefining the Work and Study Week
2006 7th International Conference on Information Technology Based Higher Education and Training, 2006Co-Authors: Zenon Chaczko, Ryszard Klempous, Jan Nikodem, Jerzy W. RozenblitAbstract:A concept of time zone driven, 24/7-week software development in a Virtual Student Exchange (VSX) environment is being defined, developed and applied to explore reliable and efficient continuous modes of work/study processes. The overall goal is to assess the suitability and benefits of this innovative approach to teaching and learning in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of these processes. This new methodology aims to address industry needs for training in international teaming, to enrich Students' experience, and to improve the quality of education in the participating institutions. The techniques and tools discussed here create an integrated framework for international collaboration among teaming groups of Students in practice and team oriented engineering education. This paper also aims to justify the need, merits, and feasibility of the virtual collaboration Student Exchange teaching program between educational institutions separated by three 8- hour time zones: the Faculty of Electronic Engineering of the Wroclaw University of Technology in Poland (WUT), the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona, Tucson, USA (UA) and the Faculty of Engineering, Software Engineering Group at University of Technology, Sydney, Australia (UTS). The paper defines the proposed methodology, reviews the tools and processes involved, and finally reports preliminary results.

Virtual Student Exchange in journalism: Collaborative reporting through new media and technology
Australian Journalism Review, 2019Co-Authors: Keith Bowen, Altaf Ullah Khan, Alexandra WakeAbstract:Over five decades of empirical research have demonstrated the power of study abroad programmes to broaden Students’ perspectives by exposing them to other peoples and cultures. In a range of fields, universities offer study abroad to help prepare Students for a rapidly globalizing world. In recent years, short-term study abroad programmes have become popular in helping Students of journalism prepare for the rigours of international reporting. However, travel to another country can be difficult and expensive, putting strain on education budgets and limiting access to a relatively small pool of Students. Travel to the most newsworthy sites is also frequently impossible due to lack of security. On the whole, study abroad can reinforce historical imbalances. Students from high-income nations tend to have multiple opportunities to travel and view the world from another perspective, while Students from low-income countries have significantly fewer opportunities to do the same. In this research, we developed and studied a Virtual Student Exchange programme in journalism, a new pedagogical strategy that harnessed technology to connect a group of Students from RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, with a similarly composed group of Students from the University of Peshawar in Peshawar, Pakistan. For modest cost, the programme provided all Students with an opportunity to meet one another, learn about each other’s societies, and work collaboratively on newsworthy events in each other’s country. Informed by Contact Theory, the programme also provided Students with opportunities to serve as fixers for one another, and thus to view the relationship between international correspondent and local fixer from both perspectives. Open-ended surveys and semi-structured interviews conducted after the experience show how Students on both sides gained from the experience, suggesting productive avenues for further research.

Student Exchange for nursing Students does it raise cultural awareness a descriptive qualitative study
Nurse Education in Practice, 2014Co-Authors: Doris M Bohman, Gunilla BorglinAbstract:With free movement for citizens within the European Union and with distant parts of our globe becoming more accessible, cultural awareness and cultural competence are becoming important skills for nurses. Internationalisation and raising awareness of other cultural contexts are essential elements in Swedish higher education, thus explaining the variety of Student Exchange programmes that are available. The aim of this study was to explore Swedish nursing Students' perceptions of Student Exchange and their experiences. Data were collected through group interviews and then analysed following the principles of content analysis. Our analysis resulted in three categories: Preparing to go abroad, Reasons for going abroad and From expectation to experience. Cultural aspects and cultural awareness were emphasised as strong motivational factors, both personal and professional, behind participation in Student Exchange programmes. Information was also highlighted as a crucial means of reaching potential Students as well as the power of knowledge through personal experience. This study highlights the importance of Student Exchange in expanding the individual Student's personal and professional horizons. It also stresses the importance of including a transcultural nursing element in nursing curricula.
