eLearning Opportunities for Addressing Intercultural Barriers Workshop

February 20

video conference on a computer screen with four participants. Books and a mug are on the desk beside the computer. Text at bottom reads "CITL-elearning".

This one-day set of workshops features five sessions, each focusing on using different eLearning technologies to remove reduce, and/or manage intercultural barriers.

Cultural differences, language barriers, and societal norms often make students hesitant to actively participate in classroom discussions or share their thoughts and ideas. By leveraging specific eLearning tools, educators can infuse elements of fun, power, freedom, acceptance, and safety (Five Basic Needs- by William Glasser) into the classroom environment. These enhancements can help to boost student engagement and motivation in the learning process.
