This paper is aimed at faculty members who are interested in implementing a short but effective and authentic international learning opportunity, but who may not have expertise in issues surrounding international development and learning abroad. It addresses some of the challenges, successes, and lessons learned, such as working with an appropriate international partner, overcoming barriers to student participation, ensuring discipline-specific learning, andproviding the appropriate context of international development issues within the timerame ofa single semester.  \nNous nous fondons ici sur notre propre expérience d’élaboration d’une situation d’apprentissage internationale, intensive et à court terme, dans le cadre d’un cours d’un seul semestre. Cet article est destiné aux enseignants qui, sans nécessairement posséder une expertise en matière de développement internationale et d’apprentissage à l’étranger, souhaiteraient mettre en œuvre une expérience d’apprentissage internationale aussi brève qu’efficace et authentique. Nous abordons les difficultés, les réussites et les leçons tirées de l’expérience, comme la nécessité d’un partenaire international adéquat, le dépassement des obstacles à la participation des étudiants, l’apprentissage adapté à des disciplines en particulier, et l’établissement d’un contexte approprié pour les questions de développement international dans le cadre temporel d’un semestre unique.  \nAs someone with a keen interest in travel as well  \nas service volunteering, I wanted to find a way to combine these personal passions with my work as a course instructor. I suggested to my department Chair that we test out a new course, “Media for International Development”, in which students would have the opportunity to travel with me to a developing country to engage in volunteer service work.  \nIn 2013, I took a group of students who had enrolled in the course to Adaklu Wayu, Ghana. We worked with a local development group who had determined that a community radio station could make an impact on local quality of life by providing access to information about agricultural practices and personal and public health, as well as creating some jobs within the community. The class collected used broadcasting equipment such as microphones, a  \nmixing board, headphones, CD players, and cabling, which we brought to Ghana and set up for testing in the office of the local development group. During our stay, we began construction work (digging the foundation and making bricks by hand) on the building that would become the radio station.  \nSince that first trip, I have run the course every other year since for a total of three times. After each trip, I refine the course. I shifted the focus of the students’work to creating videos and other media that could be used by our international development partner for public education and to promote their work. In 2015, we went to Honduras, one of the poorest countries in Latin America, with more than half the population living in poverty (CIA n.d.) . Working with a Toronto-based organization that ran several schools for at-risk children in Honduras, our group visited an agricultural school for boys and shot two documentaries. One gave voice to several children at the school who told the story of their life and their aspirations. The other was a personal vlogstyle record of what it was like for the Canadian students to be service volunteers at the school, including what they learned and how the experience changed them as people.  \nIn 2017, we partnered with AMREF Health Africa and traveled to Kenya.
