Research suggests that pedagogical interventions are necessary to help students get the most out of participation in study abroad programs. This presentation reports on an intervention that required university students participating in an optional five-week study abroad program to Australia to attempt and report on a variety of challenge activities via Google Classroom. It will evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention through analyzing the content of student reports and responses to a post-program survey.
