MARCTICA and GIGA two examples of Virtual Student Exchanges Stefaan Van Ryssen, Hogeschool Gent, Ghent, Belgium

Technologies get more interesting when they break down, projects are more exciting when they go wrong. (so much like marriages, isn’t it?) MARCTICA and GIGA

two or more universities in different countries more or less equal numbers of students (Giga: 40 in each country, Marctica: up to 120) students at both sides are grouped (2 to 4 st per group) cross-national teams are formed with groups from Belgium, Argentina, France, USA,... teams negotiate a topic within subject of the course or the project teams collaborate and produce a paper SETUP MARCTICA and GIGA

a digital learning environment (e.g. Blackboard) and/or a website minimum bandwidth for communication individual adresses for students a common language (GiGa: Spanish, Marctica: English) a model of intercultural communication and negotiation like Hofstede’s... REQUIRED MARCTICA and GIGA

PHASES Phase 1: students make their 'profiles' = short presentations of themselves and their group Phase 2: group profiles are published on the web Phase 3: groups contact eachother to form teams Phase 4: teams choose a common subject GiGa: anything Marctica: a brand, a product Phase 5: groups do their homework and share results with their partners in the team Phase 6: write-up of a common paper per team skip this slide, refer to handout! MARCTICA and GIGA Phase 0: making contact between professors, preparation,...

USE of ICT minimally: optionally: chat (very commonly used) ICQ and instant messaging (less common) webconferencing (rarely) navigation through cyberspace e-awareness digital literacy MARCTICA and GIGA

PAEDAGOGICAL added value Students (and teachers) learn to communicate effectively through the net intercultural communication, intercultural negotiation (use the model!) teamwork collaborative learning problem solving instead of theory reproduction English as second language global awareness MARCTICA and GIGA

Problem solving: when things break down: technology, Internet communication, chat, webconferencing… when the project fails: group fails to communicate group fails to negotiate group fails to agree on final paper group fails to see they’re in the wrong “failing” lever for learning MARCTICA and GIGA

Keys to success: failing tech failing comm creative teachers MARCTICA and GIGA
