About the GCP
The Global Classroom Project is designed to provide a forum for cross-cultural, digital communication and collaborative project development with colleagues in St. Petersburg, Russia. This forum for experiential learning demands a high level of person-to-person communication and interaction that centers on the challenges of real-life contextual communication.
This semester's course entails American students' retrospective analysis of the work done in the Global Classroom Project over the last 10 years. They will choose to study issues in cross-cultural, digital communication, technology access, comparative visual rhetoric, online pedagogy, or other approved study topics. Both in subject area study and experientially, students will explore issues in these areas, analyze them, and report the results of their research, experience, and analysis.
The assignments require effective, clear, well-designed analyses of the issues noted above, reflecting both American and Russian communications. This exploration will provide a means for examining cultural, historical, political, and other differences and similarities in the American and Russian nations' characters. Other major class assignments will support the work in the analyses and serve as your plans of action (proposals) for your collaboration and the production of your proposed analytical documents (formal reports and digital documents). The work will culminate in a collaborative analysis that synthesizes 2 or more aspects of the research that each of you will undertake individually.
Much of this class will be virtual in nature, providing experience with an online environment similar to that which has been used by past Global Classroom Project participants. As such, you must plan to devote time to your online discussions, just as you would to sessions in more traditional face-to-face class environments.
I find this video to be very interesting, but still disagree with some of the points that were mentioned.
