Title
Developing International Leadership in Educational Technology
Abstract
Harnessing the power of new methods and new technologies is a key to renewing education to serve our diverse societies at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Doctoral education plays a pivotal role in the professional preparation of leaders for higher education, schools and related services. Drawing upon research and development in Europe and the USA, this paper describes a range of innovative strategies to promote intercultural competence. The transatlantic project International Leadership in Educational Technology (ILET) is building a virtual learning community. The project has confirmed our belief that communication technologies, blended with faculty collaboration and limited student travel, make potent ingredients for the preparation of the next generation of leaders of educational technology. However, the project has also dispelled any naive beliefs as to our ability to effect widespread change in our universities. A second example project within Iowa State University used complementary strategies that developed project proposals taking ILET as one example of the use of technology for international education, including a future project to measure intercultural competence over time.
