Sharing Strategies, Solving Challenges, and Building Community in Global Virtual Team Education

This workshop is a highly interactive faculty-development experience for educators using, or planning to use, X-Culture in their courses. Because each Master Faculty Workshop is tailored to current faculty interests and emerging program developments, no two workshops are exactly alike. This year, participants will engage in rotating roundtable discussions to exchange ideas, discuss common challenges, share best practices, and explore new developments within the X-Culture program. Participants who complete the workshop will receive a certificate recognizing their professional development and engagement with the X-Culture faculty community.
