Eleni Dimitrellou; George Koutsouris; Alison Pearson – Pastoral Care in Education, 2025
The secondary school curriculum largely aims to prepare students academically, often overlooking the holistic development of the learner.

Developing academics' capacity for internationalizing the curriculum (IoC) is essential but challenging. There is a lack of understanding of how the IoC framework can be implemented in reality and of how educational developers can facilitate the process. This collaborative autoethnography explores the cultivation over 3 years of a community of…

Offering online courses can be seen as a way of enhancing the three essential "presences" (teaching, cognitive, and social) of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) model.
