线圈L研究员
International Course Collaboration Opportunity
bet365中文大学 seeks to expand its global diversity and engagement by implementing online collaboration with international partners and sister 机构s. The 线圈L研究员 program is designed to support AU faculty in developing and implementing Collaborative Online International and Local Learning courses. This initiative is overseen by the Department of 数字化学习 and Instructional Technology, with assistance from the Off Campus 项目 Office.
线圈 is an approach to fostering global competence through the development of a multicultural learning environment that links university classes in different countries. Using various online technologies to communicate, students from different countries complete shared assignments and projects, with faculty from each partner 机构 co-teaching and managing coursework. 在bet365中文大学, 线圈L also includes collaborations with our sister 机构s in North America.
This type of learning is also called virtual exchange, telecollaboration, and globally networked learning.
线圈L projects extend beyond team-teaching or teaching a class via technology to another 机构. 线圈L projects must include projects that require students to work together across the participating classrooms.
bet365中文大学 faculty are invited to submit a proposal for support in implementing 线圈L into a new or existing course. Submissions may come from individuals or teams; with $250 available for each project selected. Up to four projects will be awarded each year.
线圈L研究员 are required to participate in a Community of Practice to provide support and assistance through the implementation of the project.
