Information technology is being applied to increasingly broad domains for delivering or supplementing educational content. The ability to use IT to link new learning partners across continents and build global connections is an exciting concept. It promises new modes of collaborative learning, where students gain authentic experience of globalization through working in global virtual teams.

To explore these issues, there will be a panel discussion on “Collaborative Pedagogy with Global Virtual Teams” from 3-4:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 21, in John and Lucy Cook Hall, Room 240. Speakers will describe their personal experiences using IT to link SLU students with colleagues overseas in learning experiences and discuss resources here on campus to facilitate this sort of activity.

Panelists include:

Tony Clear, Auckland Institute of Technology
Dr. John Zhao, Saint Louis University professor of international business
Dr. Michael Burks, Saint Louis University administrator for teaching, learning, research and clinical IT support

Dr. Fred Niederman, Saint Louis University MIS department, will serve as moderator.
