Global & Cultural Perspectives -- How NOT To Get Lost In Translation<br />

#365: Tick Tock, Tick Tock …<br />

Timed assessments are never the best method for summative evaluation. They are not only<br />

culturally biased, but also put the students in a highly stressful situation thus defeating the<br />

purpose of the assessment. Be specially careful for international audiences.<br />

#366: Getting Around Bandwidth<br />

Accessibility in many countries is way below that which allows slideshow presentations. If you<br />

will use any slideshow in your course, always give a slide-by-slide option.<br />

#367: PDF, RTF & CSV<br />

Try not to post Word documents - whenever possible save documents as PDF Files. This way no matter what kind of<br />

printer someone is using, the information always prints out properly. Should students need to submit work, have them<br />

save their work as RTF Files (if they are Word documents) and CSV files if they are spreadsheets. This way it does not<br />

matter what software they use, you shouldn't have any problems opening the files.<br />
