Blended learning class Sociology of Education International

Teach local, learn global

Abstract

The teaching project “Sociology of Education International” offers undergraduate students to collaborate online with students across the globe while studying on-campus. It demonstrates how blended learning enhances the quality of teaching and learning and proves the need of meaningful inter-institutional agreements not only on research but on teaching. The poster shows the challenges and outcomes associated with establishing an international teaching cooperation by using eLearning tools. It may inspire academics and students to think about eLearning as a path to go global. Detailed information about challenges, outcomes and recommendations will be provided on a handout. Recommendations included Collaborate with departments within your university; use blended learning as didactic concept to teach your subject and related vocational skills without over-emphasising the technical side of eLearning; and use your blended learning concept and your experiences to develop teaching cooperations within your country.
