Interdisciplinary, Intercultural Online Courses Provide a Global Education Experience - Linda Cooper, THE Journal
In an attempt to improve students' understanding of global issues, schools are seeking new ways to incorporate international education into their curriculum. The University System of Georgia (USG) and the University of Munich in Germany have developed and implemented a unique collaborative approach that provides students with a global education experience, while giving them the opportunity to participate in a "virtual" foreign exchange program. During the fall 2001 semester, the institutions jointly offered their first two interdisciplinary, intercultural online courses. Over the next 18 months, a total of nine online courses - all focused on some aspect of the European Union - were offered to students from both universities. All nine courses were developed and team-taught in English by faculty members from a USG institution and the University of Munich.
