Catalog Description This interdisciplinary course is a classroom-to-classroom exchange that offers participants the opportunity to grow as global citizens by developing relationships with students at a college in another country. The course merges the Communication, Education, and Information Technology disciplines to form a global communication content base that focuses on the improvement of cross-cultural communication skills. The principles of Cognitive Education Theory set the constructivist mode for the course, while the Theory of Technological Change takes the student on a historical journey of the evolution of technology from data processing to its current form, the merging of minds, technology and human-environment interaction. Theories from the communication field are the foundation for the real cross-cultural interaction that takes place in the course as well as the analysis of real life cultural context situations. Emphasis is placed on global factors that have brought cultures into frequent contact, specifically in the education, business, and healthcare contexts, and how cultural and technological factors influence interaction in these environments. 4.
