Facilitating student learning through study abroad and international projects
Ursula Fuller, June Amillo, Cary Laxer, Wendy McCracken, Joseph Mertz · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 2005
Computer science is inherently international but its effective application depends on an understanding of the local culture in which it is being used. Students and faculty need to be prepared to operate in this global environment. This ITiCSE working group report discusses why an international dimension is an important component of a computer science, student's education. It describes ways to add an international dimension to student learning and provides several case studies as examples. Barriers to international study are identified, and recommendations for how to do more to expand the international opportunities of computer science students are discussed.
