TEACHING AN IS SEMINAR IN WINTER TERM?
Connect your IS seminar to a global virtual seminar, having your students cooperating on challenging IS topics with students around the globe.

Next course to join: Winter term 2014/2015, October 2014 to January 2015
Sign up until: June 10, 2014

ORGANIZATION OF THE SEMINAR
The seminar connects students from different IS schools worldwide to work together on joint seminar papers using a virtual collaboration environment. This addresses two major learning experiences:

1) Get trained in virtual intercultural communication: Every student team is set up internationally, in that there are no two team members from the same university; they are all split up over multiple groups. Students use collaboration tools free of their choice to accomplish a joint seminar work over the semester.

2) Study exciting IS research topics: This year's topic is envisioning the role of IS in solving global societal challenges, including climate change, clean water, democratization, global ethics, and status of women (as, e.g., identified by the Millennium Project http://www.millennium-project.org).
