This presentation describes a collaboration between two women’s universities, one in the United States and one in Japan. Students from both universities participated in an online course, a cross-cultural analysis of women’s leadership. The presentation focuses on the use of an existing learning management system to facilitate the exchange. The presenters will offer best practices that will be of interest to educators seeking to implement virtual intercultural learning experiences when travel is not feasible.

As teachers move to online learning environments, we need new tools and platforms to help students communicate with peers. We will share how scaffolded Flipgrid videos can build a virtual communication space for students to share their voices. In this workshop, participants will learn how to use topic-based scaffolds to enhance the student experience of Flipgrid. As a participant, you will receive the materials we used so that you can implement Flipgrid with your classes.
