Curriculum design and instruction

Norwich University students studying outside of the mainland United States were enrolled in a distance-learning course focused on developing intercultural competence during Fall 2019. This paper reviews the findings from that course, with students completing pre- and post- experience assessments of cultural competence. The course required geographically dispersed students to collaborate to complete the course requirements, comparing diverse learning environments (China, France, the U.S. Virgin Islands), and developing reflection papers that review the varieties of the experiences for the members of their team.
