I am not sure if I am supposed to repeat the responses given for the video.  I think it would be fairly easy to develop assignments that internationalize assignments for competencies by using comparative examples.  For example, demonstrate an understanding of key differences in the manufacturing process between United States and developing countries.  Perhaps this could be assessed with a research project that involves a high-tech industry in the United States and a lower-tech industry in a developing country, which for one of my classes, could include looking at the differing efficiencies and cost advantages.  Some generalizations could be drawn between advanced and developing countries with this project.

Some lessons might be easier to internationalize than others.  Although, I can see also with the example given above that if students were required to share their research with their colleagues then they would probably also find it easier to draw the types of generalizations that the competency is assessing.
