Online Collaborative Teaching and Learning in a multicultural environment
Abstract: In this panel we will explore diverse view points of Israeli instructors from different teaching colleges, cultures and disciplines. Arabs and Jewish instructors, religious and none religious teachers will tackle issues regarding online collaborative teaching and learning in a multicultural environment. Ideas and opinions will be given from three different online projects: ICT pedagogy, English Literature and Science. Finally we will explore the underlying question- whether online collaborative learning can in fact assist in dispelling cultural stigmas, and promote a more productive and civil dialogue between the divided segments composing the Israeli society as a whole. The audience will bring to the discussion their point of view and their experiences in their countries.
