Paper Abstract:
|
The subject of this paper is a collaborative learning environment involving four universities in two countries. The main focus of the learning is International Sustainable Entrepreneurship. As such, students from many different disciplines have become involved in this project and have experienced both online and in-the-classroom learning. Parts of the project have been taught in Portuguese and parts in English. The program has involved American and Brazilian students participating in common online courses in English, Brazilians studying at American universities in English, Americans studying at Brazilian universities in Portuguese, and Brazilians studying in English in Brazil. The students who traveled internationally as part of the program also had the opportunity to complete an internship in the foreign country. The subject matter has emphasized the cultural and business considerations necessary to conduct business internationally in a global world. |
