Abstract

In this project, we collaborated with Georgia State University in the United States and National University of Tainan in Taiwan in designing and conducting blended courses that connected HKBU students with students from other regions. The students were put in culturally diverse groups and had online discussions on course-related topics. The collaboration has spanned a whole academic year and involved more than 180 students in the cross-cultural communication. The results show that the cross-cultural blended learning experience contributed to the development of critical thinking and cross-cultural understanding.
