Synergy & Systemness: Making the Most of Innovative Technology & Collaboration
Francesca Cichello
Empire State College
2012
Type of GrantIITG Tier One
Amount of Award:$9,704.00
A pilot course to study effectiveness of collaborative international online learning later combined with a ten-day business study tour in Turkey. Before and after the trip, students engaged in learning activities via an online learning platform.
Our 2013 Synergy & Systemness Project was more successful than we had anticipated. Although the construction of the online course presented challenges, we were ultimately able to develop a highly interactive course. As planned, students were able to work online, synchronously and asynchronously, across campuses and across the world. In addition, workgroups used wiki technology to develop final projects that drew upon learning that took place in Turkey during our field study.
