Pivoting Pedagogy: Adapting and Enhancing International Curricula via Virtual Collaboration

Thursday, May 5, 2022

11:00 AM – 11:50 AM MDT

COVID-19 compels educators to adapt to an ocean-spanning, instantaneous world of online instruction in which collaborative international teams thrive. Juxtaposing two successful online adaptations of in-person programs, presenters demonstrate how online cooperation enhances learning experiences, peer and mentor collaboration, and international partnerships.

Learning Objectives:

Adapt extension and community-based projects through innovative ways of internationalizing the curriculum via virtual exchange and collaborative online learning.
Facilitate application of skills and knowledge acquired in a capacity-building exercise, within the context of an international collaborative education program.
Identify alternative theories and modeling applications for students from diverse academic backgrounds to teach in an online setting, and apply theories and methods derived from common data points and case studies.
