The course will be a mixture of lectures, assignments, practices with technology mediation, discussions, student presentations, and group work with supervision.

There will be readings for each lecture - typically 1-2 research papers or chapters. The students are required to read the papers prior to the lectures.
The course also has Exploratory Exercises, which will focus on particular topics such as cultural diversity, global spaces and places, virtual negotiation, and cross-cultural communication.

The students will be assigned to groups (5 in each), where they will work on a case of global interaction. The objective of the groups are two-folded 1) that the students through the semester use the group and the case to discuss the theoretical CSCW concepts to train how to explain and argue for how to organize, execute, and manage the case of global interaction as well as how to design collaborative technologies relevant for the case, and 2) that the groups collaboratively write a 5 pages report which is turned in by the end of the semester to be the foundation for the oral individual exam.
Each lecture will be focused on one or more topic for global interaction, and the groups will during the exercises be asked to relate the topic to their case of global interaction. Each group be working on these topics during the exercises writing in a shared google document to ensure they practice written reflections continuously over the course.

Planned guest lecture from Industry on global project management
