This research project centers on new online academic environments to establish meaningful collaborations that will enrich research and teaching of faculty, students and academic programs at higher education institutions worldwide.
Investigate the integration of technology and pedagogy to enrich social interaction and learning.
Research the implementation of strategies and technologies for engaging students in collaborating on issues of mutual interest.
Explore the institutional issues and barriers related to implementing coursework, certifications and academic programs across international institutions.

Study the quality of collaborative relationships among faculty and peers for the construction of knowledge and improvement of learning,
Project Outline
Throughout technology-enhanced collaborative activities, students are
engaged in design, problem-solving, decision-making and investigative skills which are long-termed,
interdisciplinary and student-centered.
In this project, students from Brigham Young University and from the University of Costa Rica will use teleconferencing and other social networking tools (Web 2.0) and techniques to investigate, collaborate and construct knowledge in the field of TESOL by developing and producing resources on the teaching and learning of Reading as a Second or Foreign language through the integration of skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) and as well as the integration of technology for language learning.
Create synergies for greater interactive and collaborative opportunities between staff and students, and enriching
their programs through jointly-sponsored text.•Establish collaborative relationships in order to advance research and
teaching objectives that neither side could accomplish
on its own.
• Provide a model for new staff to apply for external support and encourage researchers to undertake worthwhile small projects with tangible deliverables.
Collaborative E-activities will:
Since the year 2001, the University of Kansas (KU) and the University of Costa Rica (UCR) have established meaningful and sustainable collaborations between faculty, students and academic programs. The researchers Dr. Allen Quesada from the University of Costa Rica and Dr. Ron Aust from the University of Kansas have developed one-on-one faculty co-teaching partnership that has used online technology and site visits to enrich existing courses at both KU and UCR.
