Bringing āInternationalization at Homeā Opportunities to Community Colleges: Design and Assessment of an Online Exchange Activity between U.S. and Japanese Students
Custer L, Tuominen A. Bringing “Internationalization at Home” Opportunities to Community Colleges: Design and Assessment of an Online Exchange Activity between U.S. and Japanese Students. Teaching Sociology. 2017;45(4):347-357. doi:10.1177/0092055X16679488
In this article, the authors describe a virtual exchange activity that we conducted between our sociology courses at a community college in the United States and two universities in Japan. They show through their assessment of the students’ experiences that a well-coordinated, carefully crafted, technology-enhanced internationalization at home activity has the potential to offer important global learning opportunities and intercultural competency development for sociology students who may otherwise lack the means to participate in study abroad.
