7. What does this mean for us in
UCD Library? What do we
need to provide specifically,
who do we need to speak to.
Are we present?
First thing to do is to get a
presence for the Library under
“University and Academic
Support” in the UCD
International website
8. UCD International will speak with their regional managers and add my name as a contact and
also start to raise awareness of our resources (eLearning supports - online guides & tutorials)
9. Beijing-Dublin International College
We have provided support for BDIC
students (tours/talks) for several
years
Relationship built with BDIC staff
and students
We have been able to address local
issues (e.g. no YouTube access)
10. Request to teach at BDIC
February 2017 - UCD Library
staff member to teach Stage 4
Internet of Things and Software
Engineering students at BDIC
Firsthand experience and testing
of our resources overseas
Opportunity to showcase our
resources and raise awareness of
staff assistance
Learning curve, seeing how BDIC
operates and how UCD Staff in
Beijing meet the demands of the
students
11. Summary
Can we continue to support these
students, sending staff to Beijing
during busy periods in our calendar
We are yet to know what impact we
made with the students
Class attendances were not
consistent
Technical problems with their VLE
Overall we made a good impression
and delivered what was requested
from BDIC
14. Challenges in supporting a global campus
Providing eLearning that can be access and understood globally
Support to all UCD students
Awareness of our online supports
Timezones
Increased usage of resources from overseas
