Project Title: Keele International Reflections: Developing an Online Blog on Internationalisation and Intercultural Learning
Project Leader(s): Emee Estacio and Pete Lonsdale

The growing international diversity in UK higher education has the potential to enhance intercultural learning but there is very little discussion within Keele University on how we can maximise its benefits. This project aims to develop an online blog to facilitate discussion on how internationalisation can foster intercultural learning. Students will be engaged in its development and pilot evaluation before being launched to a wider audience. It is hoped that this project can provide the foundations of an online discussion at Keele University to allow students and staff members to share their experiences and reflections on internationalisation and intercultural learning.

Project Title: Dramatizing Theory in Practice
Project Leader(s): Anita Mangan and Mihaela Kelemen

Dr Anita Mangan and Professor Mihaela Kelemen, Keele Management School, have teamed up with Sue Moffat, New Vic Borderlines, to create a series of drama workshops for the MA in Management and MA in International Business students. The project, called ‘Dramatizing Theory in Practice’, was devised in response to student feedback about internationalisation at Keele and it has two aims. The first to increase socialisation opportunities between international and home students and the second is to provide students with an opportunity to learn about key Critical Management Studies theories through a series of practical and experiential drama exercises.

Project Title: Get Animated! Student as Co-producer in the Development of Audio-visual Study Support Resources
Project Leader(s): Verity Aiken, Ian Ronald, Tim Hinchcliffe and Claire Slater-Mamlouk

‘Get Animated!’ is a competition for students to communicate their own understanding of how they develop as learners by using free open source software to create their own video animations to share their tips and experiences of learning to learn. Tapping into recent research that argues for a model of ‘co-production’ between student and University (McCulloch 2009), the project seeks to integrate the student perspective into study support resources in a way that captures a sense of doing ‘learning to learn’. Its legacy will be a pool of authentic student-led study support materials for both staff and student use.
