Read for understanding; cultures and sub cultures; student cultures and crossing cultural borders with the ‘suit’ we wear in different learning contexts; what biases do we bring into our learning and work? What 'crossings' do we need to make clear? What power relations remain intact if we don't?

Context and Question: How do you know to share and learn with others? What are the ‘rules’ for this? What is ‘successful’ learning with people from different cultures than yours? How can you picture this on a national scale with Australian history issues in these links?
Micro Lecture and Tute: How can you see this working across cultures? What recent examples about sharing histories can help us cross cultural borders and work more effectively together?
Share: Share a draft of your A2 paragraph number 2 on the Discussion board and use the criteria to comment on another students' work constructively. Using a ‘cultural border crossing' ( Aikenhead, 1996) you have made; describe how that was affected by the academic or professional context and the power relations ( Cummins, 2013, 2009) . Establish principle #2 : How to address principles of power relations in shared learning and cultural border crossings; what adjustment is needed?
