I like how global competence is defined with the skills in module #1. I do believe that it has become a requirement to prepare our students to be more globally aware so that they are better prepared for the working in a global economy, but also so that they can become more empathetic to other cultures around the world. We need to prepare our students to better understand how the interactive experiences they create are received by different cultures.
In my Interactive Design courses we teach visual communication and in order for it to be successful, students need to understand the cultural norms and expectations when it comes to visual communication in different areas around the world.
