Designing a Virtual WIL Experience with Industry Partners in Transnational Locations

May 2016
Abstract/Snapshot: 

This pattern can be used to set up and execute an authentic virtual WIL experience with Partner Organisations (POs) within a course.
The main objective is to provide students with an authentic, real-world, real-time experience while structuring the engagement in a way that industry partners are not subjected to unwanted impacts through ongoing student enquiries (especially important with large classes). 
This pattern has three phases of engagement:

  • Phase 1: Pre-semester - negotiating the relationship
  • Phase 2: During the semester - managing the relationship
  • Phase 3: Post-semester - deepening and extending the industry relationship
