Description

We explore the opportunities of learning technology as part of a Study Abroad course design from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada where indigenization and internationalization are leading institutional priorities. In this course design moving out of the institutional VLE to a WordPress site with a shared class blog in aim to build deeper shared learning opportunites is a focus. This shift away from the institutional VLE also connects to the decolonising pedagogy of the course design. We will explore the capacity of Study Abroad course design and the role of learning technology to synethsize Indigenous and Western pedagogies and methodologies to conceive innovative curriculum consistent with the negotiation of epistemological third spaces. In this presentation we document learning outcomes and assessment considerations that informed our efforts to bring decolonizing strategies to the design of a Study Abroad course.
