Abstract

This chapter applies these ideas of creativity and education in an international setting. If this educational process works, which we believe it demonstrably does, then it must be applicable in other settings for it to be of any worth internationally. Fortunately, it has begun to be adapted to other educational settings and these include a course run at Monash University in Melbourne and another in the Singaporean setting. It is worth noting here that there was a commonality in the cohorts for each of these cases; they were both predominantly East or South Asian, principally Singaporean, Chinese, Indian and Malaysian. The Singaporean setting where the curriculum was delivered in the undergraduate program, in an almost identical manner to what had occurred in Newcastle, was the subject of study by Susan Kerrigan, Pia Aquilia and Cathie Payne (Refereed Proceedings of the Australian and New Zealand Communication Association conference: Communicating Change and Changing Communication in the 21st Century, http://www.anzca.net/past-conferences/past-conf-index.html, 2012, J Int Commun, 19, 147–166, 2013) and its results will be discussed in more detail as we build the case for the efficacy of this approach. The Monash case was implemented and adapted differently but the essentials of the embedded systems approach remained intact.
