      Cultural Intelligence

      In Module 5, we were to develop at least nine interview questions to elicit the interviewee’s understanding of cultural intelligence and self-evaluation of their own cultural intelligence. The readings provided us with definitions of cultural intelligence, an issue of global understanding and social justice, as well as a cultural intelligence scale, and an abbreviated checklist. While we could rely on those materials, we needed to develop our own interview questions, with the goal of learning how an interviewee defines cultural intelligence and evaluates their own cultural intelligence. I was paired with one of my classmates, and I was to conduct...

      In Module 4, my task was to design a tool or an activity to aid educators (in schools, universities, or businesses/organizations) in identifying the assumptions they hold and considering the options for exploring those assumptions in a non-judgmental fashion.  The activity was to be designed for a specific audience within a specific context, and I was to share that audience and context in a presentation. Essentially, creating a tool to “train the trainers.”   In creating this tool, I had several creative choices. I might have created a kiosk learning tool, designed an interactive presentation, created an adaptive learning activity...

You will need to clearly identify the theme that you have chosen and then focus on the salient points of the articles that illustrate that theme. The theme can be as broad as culture or as specific...

      Culture and Technology

      For the Module 2 assignment, my task was to design an educational or training activity enhanced by technology, to teach about cultural differences. For this, I needed to provide a one-page description of the activity and then fill out a chart that outlines the following demographic and analytical information.    This learning activity, based on the Australian app All Together Now (All Together Now), presented in a middle/high school learning environment, is a mobile game/application which would challenge the student to live for a week in the shoes of an African American, Hispanic, or Native-American student of a similar age...
