This course presents the available open resources such as software, web tools, etc. to create the online resources. The Indian Institutions participating in RISHII project will choose an aspect related to the Internationalisation from those covered by the 4 RISHII Internationalisation Strategic Lines in which they would like to create their own online resource. The aim is to create user-friendly, ideally interactive, online resources, reinforcing the collaboration between faculty and International Relations Office staff.




This course focuses on innovative assessment practices crucial for successful implementation of internationalised curriculum – assessment for learning, a new assessment paradigm in which the different members of a higher institution community can join efforts to help students develop as global professionals and citizens through providing useful and development-oriented “constructive feedback” on students’ progress. Both academic and non-academic members of staff need to accept and promote such learning culture, which will permit Indian higher education institutions to create and maintain a thriving internationalisation culture and offer students a truly international experience “at home”.
