ACEID2021

March 22-24, 2021 | Held online from Japan

Welcome to The 7th Asian Conference on Education & International Development (ACEID2021), held in partnership with the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at Osaka University, Japan.

ACEID2021 encourages academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in an international forum stimulating respectful dialogue. This event will afford an exceptional opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, networking, and facilitating partnerships across national and disciplinary borders.

Since its founding in 2009, IAFOR has brought people and ideas together in a variety of events and platforms to promote and celebrate interdisciplinary study, and underline its importance. IAFOR continues to engage in many cross-sectoral projects across the world, including those engaging leading universities (Virginia Tech, UCL, Singapore Management University, University of Belgrade, Lingnan University, Barcelona University, University of Hawai’i, Moscow State University), think tanks, research organisations and agencies (the East-West Center, The Center for Higher Education Research, The World Intellectual Property Organization), as well as collaborative projects with governments and international governmental organisations (Government of Japan through the Prime Minister’s office, the United Nations in New York) and media agencies (The Wall Street Journal, JWT, HarperCollins).

With the IAFOR Research Centre at Osaka University, we have engaged in a number of interdisciplinary initiatives we believe will have an important impact on domestic and international public policy conversations and outcomes.

IAFOR's unique global platform facilitates discussion around specific subject areas, with the goal of generating new knowledge and understanding, forging and expanding new international, intercultural and interdisciplinary research networks and partnerships. We have no doubt that ACEID2021 will offer a remarkable opportunity for the sharing of research and best practice and for the meeting of people and ideas.

Transformation of Global Education Under COVID-19: A New Wave of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL)
Panel Presentation: Shingo Ashizawa (Moderator), Craig N. Shealy & Keiko Ikeda

In the current difficult situation caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic, international educators have been facing unprecedented challenges. Most physical student mobility has stopped and it is hard to predict when students can start to travel freely again. While we need to deal with the difficult situation caused by the pandemic, alternative programs that utilize online educational platforms are emerging. This session will introduce such new learning models, including COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning). The audience will engage in discussion about how educators can utilize these online platforms and collectively seek ways to redesign the goals, mission and curriculum of global learning.

Traditionally, studying abroad is believed to be an effective way to increase students’ inter- cultural competency. In order to pursue their career choice within today’s increasingly interdependent societies, students need to cultivate greater capacity by engaging with the global society. International educators have been developing study abroad programs and trying to integrate human complexity including cross-cultural issues more explicitly into the learning process. Another trend of study abroad during the last two decades has been the expansion of non-traditional study abroad programs including internship, service learning and field studies. Study abroad has a high impact on a student’s life, but most students will never have this opportunity due to limitations of funding and time. Emerging new global learning programs that utilize digital platforms allow us to design low-risk and low-cost study abroad programs, and such programs will attract those students who have been traditionally unable to participate in study abroad.

The presenters will first introduce examples of good practices of COIL including one sponsored by UMAP. UMAP (University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific) is a multilateral consortia for study abroad. The UMAP-COIL program has been successfully conducted since 2019, even before COVID-19. In 2021, UMAP-COIL will expand to include new features, beyond the original college-level honor program for Advanced Placement (AP) programs in high school.

Digital Transformation for Student Data Portability Through Internet of Education (IoE)
Panel Presentation: Anthony Manahan, Joanne Duklas, Koichi Nakasaki, Jay Segeth & Hiroshi Ota (Moderator)

As COVID-19 upends lives and livelihoods worldwide, flexible and diversified learning is becoming the new normal for university teaching and learning. As a result, the rapid growth of online learning is challenging the relevance of traditional higher education systems. Over the challenges, the Tokyo Convention enables individuals to have the right to have their studies and qualifications recognized and/or assessed fairly and transparently, including online and blended learning. Learning outcomes should therefore be the focus of attention across the traditional and the new normal of online education when it comes to ensuring fair recognition and facilitating mobility and employability.

This panel explores the development of viable Transpacific collaboration for executing the responsibilities of the Tokyo Convention through digitalising student data portability and evolving it through the Internet of Education (IoE), a vision where every human on earth has access to quality education and economic opportunities. In this context, the panel shares experiences, insights, and future roadmap of the three Transpacific regions’ initiatives of digitising learning outcome, including online and blended learning:

Throughout the three regions, the panel seeks international interoperability and convergence in technology, best practice, and governance through the Internet of Education (IoE) stage of digital transformation in higher education institutions.
