Workshops
The IICE has been a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice, Pedagogy, Arts, History, Open Learning, Distance Education, Math and Science Education, ICT, Language Learning, Education (Early Year, Secondary, Post-Secondary and Higher), E-Learning, and identify emerging research topics.
The IICE-2024 encourages you to submit workshop proposals. Workshop duration is 1 hour 20 minutes. All the accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. You can consider organising a workshop that is related to IICE-2024 topics.
The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conferences themselves. It offers a good opportunity for young researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community. The format of each workshop is to be determined by the organisers, but it is expected that they contain ample time for general discussion. The preference is for one day workshops, but other schedules will also be considered.

IICE-2024 (October) Accepted Workshops
Workshop 1
Title: Global Classrooms – The Irish/Canadian Academic Partnership
Scope:
This workshop will explore an innovative partnership between the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) in Ireland and Niagara College in Canada, focusing on a unique international exchange program designed for Ontario students in the School of Community Services. Participants, who can belong to one of five distinct programs within their school, enroll in a specialized course at ATU during the fall term. The course structure is designed to align with and fulfill the learning outcomes required by each of the students’ home programs in Ontario. The program begins with a remote learning phase, allowing students to engage with ATU curriculum and faculty from Ontario. This initial phase emphasizes cross-cultural communication, global perspectives on community service, and foundational knowledge essential to their field of study. The highlight of the course is a week-long intensive study session in Ireland, where students immerse themselves in hands-on learning experiences, engage directly with their Irish professors, and participate in fieldwork relevant to their disciplines. This project not only enriches the academic experience of the students but also fosters international collaboration and cultural exchange. Join us to learn about the program’s development, implementation, and the profound impact it has on students’ educational and professional trajectories.
Objectives and Motivation:
1. Understand the Framework of International Academic Partnerships:
Participants will gain insights into the structure and development of international academic collaborations.
2. Evaluate the Impact of Cross-Cultural Educational Experiences:
Attendees will learn about the benefits and challenges of remote and immersive study components, and how these experiences can enhance students’ academic and professional skills.
3. Explore Strategies for Implementing Similar Programs:
The workshop will provide strategies for designing and implementing cross-border educational programs, including coordinating between institutions, and managing the logistical aspects of international student exchanges.
The motivation for presenting this workshop is to share the successes and lessons learned from a pioneering international partnership between ATU and Niagara College. This program exemplifies the potential for cross-cultural collaboration to enrich academic curricula and provide students with invaluable global perspectives. By presenting this workshop, we aim to inspire other institutions to explore and develop similar international exchange opportunities, ultimately contributing to a more interconnected and culturally competent global educational community. Participants will leave with actionable insights and practical knowledge that can be applied to their own programs, fostering innovation and collaboration in higher education.
