Welcome UNI-Collaboration,
the home of online intercultural exchange for university classrooms
UNI-Collaboration is for university educators who want to
engage their students in online collaboration with students in all
parts of the globe
To start exploring, click on the ‘partners’ tab in the top menu bar.
Start here to find databanks of classes, institutions and practitioners
who are interested in establishing contacts…
If you choose ‘classes’ then you’ll be able to search or browse a list of
classes which are interested in taking part in online exchange
projects...
When you see a class that you would like to connect to your own class,
simply click on ‘Contact the author’ to get into contact and discuss a
possible exchange…
Can’t find a class which suits your students? Then simply click on
‘create a new class’ and let other practitioners read about your group
and the type of exchange you’d like to have…
In the ‘Tasks’ tab in the top menu bar, you’ll find collections of tasks
and task sequences (i.e. collections of interconnected tasks) to use in
your online exchange projects…
In the task databank you can search or browse for tasks to suit your
online exchange.
You can also ‘create a new task’ to share with others…
Want to learn more about how online exchanges work?
Click on the ‘Training’ tab in the top menu bar. Here you’ll find accounts of
different exchanges (‘Sample Projects’) and information on how to set up and
run an exchange (‘Training modules’)
When you choose a case study, click on the different tabs to read
about the project, the tasks it used and how educators and students
evaluated the project…
Want to discuss issues related to telecollaboration with colleagues?
Click on ‘community’ in the top menu bar and participate in our
moderated discussion forums…
The uni-collaboration platform depends on its members sharing and
contributing experiences and materials. Click on ‘create’ in the top
menu bar to add new case studies, classes, tasks and more…
(All submissions are moderated before being published.)
Want to keep track of all the information, tasks, classes which you have
added to the platform? Click on ‘my account’ to see all your
information brought together…
What should you do first?
Click on ‘my account’ in the main menu bar. Then choose ‘edit’ so you can
add more detail to your own practitioner profile. This will encourage other
practitioners to contact you and your classes…
And then?
Go to the ‘partners’ tab again. Check in the ‘institutions’ section if your
university is already listed in the databank….
If your institution is not already listed, then go to ‘create’ in the top
menu bar, click on ‘institutions’ and add information about your
university or college…
