Description

Together with the Hochschule fur Wirtschaft und Recht Berlin, we have conducted a COIL project for 1st year Persaonl Development students at AMSIB and 3rd year students at the HWR. Students were required to cross-examine cultural differences between countries of their choice (primarily the Netherlands and Germany) when conducting interviewing processes during job applications. Essentially, they were required to collaborate and produce a video on how to engage in a positive interviewing process, taking into account the intercultural differences/challenges corresponding to the countries being investigated.

Students strived to achieve the following learning objectives corresponding to the project:

Develop an awareness for cultural differences within the selected professional
landscapes.
• Demonstrate the ability to reflect on personal development skills on and
individual and group level.
• Display job seeking preparation strategies and methods applicable to
Germany and the Netherlands.
• Develop collaborative relationships within a cross-national environment
through virtual online collaboration

The project demonstrated that collaborative online international learning can provide students with a meaningful and productive learning experience that can help them to achieve the learning outcomes of the courses they correspond to and by extension the learning outcomes of the programme itself.
