Authors or designers of international education projects are faced with a major responsibility for assuring that any given project is not simply an attempt to transplant materials, techniques, structures and information from one country to another. The entire operation of the project must be adapted to meet the needs and cultural styles of the recipient country. This requires more than a superficial retreading or facelifting. The adaptation of course materials is only one of several areas needing adaptation which will occur as part of a project. This report discusses only course adaptation, but many of the ideas may apply equally well to other project areas.
