MOOC
2020
10th MOOC Run
SISU IC Institute
* This post contains new detailed information to help with course planning
This is an important time for virtual education around the world! To limit the spread of the Corona virus, other affected areas are noting China’s efforts to promote online learning. To help both teachers and students from anywhere connect with the world during this time, the SISU “Intercultural Course” is being offered again starting from March 2, 2020 (with FREE access for anyone from the day of their enrollment for 7 weeks, anytime between March and July).

Course Contents and Suggestions for Use
We hope that this early course launch helps all who want to learn with us, whether you engage with it now or later this semester. The course follows a “learning step” design (see details below), easy to incorporate into your class lessons. The 15 or so steps each week usually take leaners about 4 hours to complete. But we encourage students to spend more time to read the many comments posted and make their own, enriching social learning and broader cultural awareness on each step.
Each week’s content begins with several introductory steps, awareness-awakening videos or articles on IC constructs, learning activities, relevant case studies, questions for response and reflection, and weekly review steps. The five topics included in this IC course include (learning step details appear in the slides):
WEEK 1 Comprehending Intercultural Communication
We introduce the course topic via definitions, metaphors, explanatory articles, an applied case and invite participants to reflect on possible sources of culture differences.
WEEK 2 Contextualizing Cultural Identities
We provide ways to get to know others by focusing on cultural identity and begin to adjust our perceptions of and communications with each other.
WEEK 3 Comparing Cultural Communication Styles
We introduce taxonomies that describe how ways of interaction vary across cultures to note differences in how social contexts, personality, space, and time might be perceived.
WEEK 4 Clarifying and Contrasting Values
We explore how values may underlie deeper cultural differences, examine ways to contrast variations, and consider how they help us analyze cross-cultural misunderstandings.
WEEK 5 Cultivating Intercultural Adaptation
We show how adaptation processes underlie all culture learning and interaction, and how engaging in the culture shock, stress, and adjustment process helps develop intercultural competence.
