Thus, cultural traditions in Botswana and Black America are directly examined as course content. They will be given assignments and required to post their individual and joint efforts on the course web page. They become manifest, too, through the differences in access to digital devices such as cameras, scanners, web site space, etc. Such proposals are required to explicitly consider the implications for their cultural, economic, international, and ethical implications. Of course, these implications are not drawn from thin air as the direct consideration of these issues is a focus of the course content.
Testing is to be done via weekly online quizzes.

Students benefit from their partnerships with students in a foreign country , as they assume the role of both teacher and mentor regarding their country s unique culture. Students acquire technological sophistication and sharpen their thinking and writing skills . If so, please describe. Note that the project provides some staff assistance with web-based activities.
