The Global Classroom Project - Down Under provides a forum for cross-cultural, digital communication and collaborative project development with colleagues in St. Petersburg and Atlanta, USA. 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.
The course focuses on analysis of cross-cultural, digital communication. Both in subject area study and experientially, you will explore issues in this area, analyze them, and report the results of your research, experience, and analysis.
This semester, the overall goal of your class project is to provide effective, clear, well-designed analyses of Australian cultural, political, artistic, and affective representations of country characteristics as Australians see them in films that they find indicative of their culture.
Your class will be virtual in nature, conducted both on the World Wide Web through WebBoard conferencing software and through e-mail, to allow you to work with your classmates in Russia at the European University and in America at Georgia Tech. As such, you must plan to devote time to your both synchrnous and asynchronous online discussions.
