To design, implement, and evaluate a curriculum devoted to developing intercultural competencies through effective use of collaborative information and communication technologies (ICTs) To build meta-knowledge about the role that intercultural competence and ICTs can play in global communication and international relations Project overview and research design Theoretical Base (Goswami & Lovitt, Hawisher & Selfe) Measure 1: Develop “Sensitivity and Consideration for Others” Measure 2: Understand Globally “Situated Knowledge”
