WHAT IS GLOBAL CLASSROOM BY TEC DE MONTERREY
It is an initiative of the Vice-Rectory for International Affairs that aims to link a course from Tecnológico de Monterrey with a course of a partner international university, through a digital environment, using technological tools to connect students in collaborative activities that promote learning in multicultural environments.
MODEL
The Global Classroom by Tec de Monterrey model is based on COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning), a teaching and learning methodology developed by Jon Rubin at the State University of New York (SUNY).
COIL combines the four essential dimensions of virtual mobility; it is a collaborative exercise between teachers and students; it makes use of technology and online interaction; it has potential international dimensions; it is integrated into the learning process.
TESTIMONIALS
"It is a very good accomplishment to breakdown the stereotypes… Honestly, I think we accomplished a great thing by making students realize that people are people no matter where they live and that we have the same hopes and dreams.".
Sheila Eldred, Professor @ SUNY Broome
