Building Bridges Through Tech: Universities Share Their Digital Teaching Stories

Students post their experiences with university technology on a shared digital board (Padlet or similar), then watch a short video introduction from the partner class about their institution's tech landscape. This opens the conversation and builds initial connection.

Students conduct a brief interview with a university teacher or peer about technology use and barriers, then compile findings into a shared comparison document with the partner class. They analyze patterns across both institutions to identify similarities and differences in learning management systems, digital tools, and adoption challenges.

Each class presents their key findings and insights in a 20-minute live video call, then exchanges written feedback on what surprised them and what they learned about technology in higher education globally. This real-time dialogue builds intercultural understanding and validates shared challenges.

Students work together (within and across classes via asynchronous forum or shared document) to draft a short manifesto or set of principles for using technology responsibly and effectively in university teaching. They reflect on what they learned and commit to values they will carry into their own teaching practice.
