This collection provides resources from Purdue CILMAR's Portable Intercultural Module entitled, "Tricky Communication."

Portable Intercultural Modules (PIM) are small learning units focused on one or two elements of intercultural competence and/or diversity and inclusion. They are turnkey solutions that address the needs of instructors or co-curricular leaders who don't see themselves as experts in these areas. PIM can be embedded within disciplinary course content, and multiple PIM can be integrated throughout a program of study to support learners' development of intercultural competence more systematically.

CILMAR offers all Portable Intercultural Modules (PIM) through Brightspace and a selection through Moodle and Canvas. Self-directed training is also available to support instructors who wish to use the selected PIM.
