Music crosses many borders and boundaries, and an immersive educational short-term study abroad experience can be an exciting addition to traditional music curriculum. Music and Music Technology provide a modular and creative platform with which to explore and challenge our worldview. With experience in both domestic trips (Nashville, Chicago, St. Louis, and NYC) and international trips (London, Berlin, Northern Ireland, and Denmark), this tutorial will share tips and best practices for Coordinators and Educators interested in researching, planning and implementing credit and non-credit educational trips for students. Covered topics include; learning outcomes and assessment; researching and outreaching potential hosts; building buy-in with faculty, administration and students; budgeting and flight arrangements; pre, post-trip activities and reflections; and security, insurance, and behavior concerns.

Many global universities are making significant investments in faculty, real estate, and cutting-edge technology in support of professional audio production/teaching facilities. 2018 looms as a watershed year for new entries: Drexel University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Concordia College, ICESI U (Cali, Colombia), are just some of the institutions opening teaching complexes for audio in 2019. This panel of leading educators will explore the escalating commitment to pro audio education. Topics include: • What are the issues in designing for technical and creative training? • How do we “future-proof” our new facilities? • Where do today’s (and tomorrow’s) students end up working? • Engineering vs. liberal arts / Dedicated schools vs. traditional colleges: How do we incorporate intensive audio training into a more comprehensive curriculum—or should we?
