Going Global: A Binational Approach to Innovative Teaching and Learning with Technology
Caroline Conlon; Holly Ann Catalfamo
Canadian Journal of Action Research, v23 n3 p58-78 2023
Postsecondary institutions across the world have rapidly adapted to the need for online teaching and learning modalities as a result of the global pandemic that began in early 2020. A new dynamic has emerged with technology being the platform of the new virtual classroom, providing significant opportunities to explore internationalization. This article explores a collaborative venture between two institutions, Niagara College in Canada and Munster Technological University in Ireland, who leveraged a strong binational partnership to deliver a digital learning experience through a series of workshops delivered to human resources students. Through an action research lens, it was found that this innovative approach to teaching and learning supported students' development as human resources professionals, helped them to gain a deeper understanding of biases and how neuroscience influences decision-making, supported the development of cross-cultural competencies, and provided students with an opportunity for global mobility through a digital learning experience.
