An Intercultural Virtual Collaboration Project: Its Impacts and Facilitation Strategies

• In Event: TED - Research in Teacher Education

Short Description

The presentation highlights the findings from our virtual collaboration project in which students from three different college of education (Alabama, Minnesota, USA; Seoul, South Korea) collaboratively created a website that presented world history and global issues. The findings demonstrated that the project helped participants improve cultural sensibility, but there was no significant difference between the experiment group and control group. Instructional strategies for facilitating a virtual intercultural collaboration project will be discussed.
