Paper Abstract:	Teaching and learning have started to get profit from globalization and new technologies. Innovation projects between universities around the world have arisen to facilitate and adapt students’ learning to a professional and social reality. Within the above context, an interdisciplinary collaboration project was held between two European universities through a webCT system. Students had to work on linguistic aspects and economic and management topics. Univariate analysis shows students to have a great interest in the project. Different multivariate techniques determine a strong positive relationship between students’ participation, implication and motivation in the project and their individual final grades in the course. Regression also proved that the more exciting and challenging the class activities, and the higher the student’s active participation, the better the results obtained by the student.
