>Subject: RE:  Internationalizing the university through technology

------------------
I have recently been invited by my institution to give a presentation at a
conference on how technology can be used to internationalize the
university.  To this end, I am seeking information about colleges and
universities where technology, ranging from satellite television to
computer technologies, have been effectively utilized to create an
international learning environment that cuts across disciplines and
divisions.  Some of the questions I am asking are functional, others are
related to programming and curriculum, as follows:

-Is international television programming paid for and provided on an
institution-wide basis (ranging from dormitories to classrooms)?

-Does your institution support wordprocessing in foreign languages
campus-wide, particularly in languages using non-Latin script?

-Is encoding in foreign languages provided on all web browers campus-wide?

-Does your institution support email in foreign languages?

-Do international faculty and faculty working in international fields have
adequate resources to support their wordprocessing, web-browsing and email
needs in their offices?

-Do faculty have adequate access to international resources in support of
their research where technology is needed to access them?

-Does the language lab at your institution have ties and activities that
reach beyond serving language courses?  In what ways does the lab support
an international education curriculum or other goals related to fostering
an internaional environment in your institution?

-In what ways has technology been used in in general in your institution to
create and foster an international environment within your institution?

If you have time to respond to these questions or if you have other
information that you feel is pertinent, please contact me personally at my
email ([log in to unmask]) or on this list!

Thank you!
