For the last 5 years, student groups have been coming over from the University of Kitakyushu (UKK) to spend 6 months studying at Tacoma Community College (TCC). They study at TCC for 2 quarters, earning 30 credits which transfer directly to the UKK. The partnership has been a success for both colleges. International students pay significantly more in tuition. International student families frequently feel sticker shock due to the cost of traditional textbook prices in the United States. The Communication Department transitioned to OER to support student success, then dove into Open Pedagogy to support social learning. The courses are half filled with visiting students from the Global Discovery Program and half filled with mostly native English speaking students. A service learning project that involved students in the design of the project and the selection of the reading materials led to surprisingly advanced levels of social interaction and learning. Participants will hear from faculty and students.<\/p>\n

Getting rid of the \u201cdisposable assignments.\u201d Talking to students about copyright helps them understand and respect copyright. She invites students to share their work using a Creative Commons license.<\/p>\n

Taught a course with students from Japan. Challenges of working with students from other cultures. Using \u201copen pedagogy\u201d – group assignments and projects<\/p>\n

Used:
\n\u201cTake the Other to Lunch<\/a>\u201d Tedtalk
\n\u201cThe Danger of a Single Story<\/a>\u201d Tedtalk<\/p>\n

Students interviewing one another \u201cask a student\u201d and \u201cask a teacher\u201d – they used a site called tccaskme.wordpress.com<\/a> to support one another. They built and used the work that went before.<\/p>\n

Added \u201copen pedagogy\u201d projects – examples.\u00a0Groups projects are “open pedagogy” because the work lives outside of and beyond the classroom. They are also involved in community projects. Students create a rubric for the assignments.<\/p>\n
