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!
