Providing Experiential Learning Through Transnational Teamwork

چکیده
The requirement for high standards of professionalism in graduating Computer Science and Information Technology students suggests the applicability of experiential learning. This paper describes a capstone course that includes an assessable project based on the experiential learning framework. The project requires transnational teamwork and community engagement which engages students in a culturally inclusive learning context and highlights their capacities to contribute to the wider community. Students develop cultural and social sensitivities, a heightened awareness of risk impact, problem solving capabilities and objective self-analysis. Course and teaching evaluation data demonstrate the effectiveness of this assessment approach. Reflection upon the literature enables the innovative features of this assessment approach to be identified.
