DEANZ Webinar 17th May 4-5 pm in Adobe Connect with support for the University of Canterbury e-Learning Lab
Building online collaboration between people and cultures
Dr Elaine Hoter, The Mofet Institute & Talpiot College of Education, Israel
Hosted by Niki Davis, University of Canterbury Professor of e-Learning and President of DEANZ
Online communication can be applied to build collaboration and appreciation of differing cultures. Elaine Hoter of Israel's Mofet Institute brings more than a decade of experience with online collaboration projects that improve education and cultural understanding. Her projects have connected student teachers, children and others to achieve multiple educational goals, including peace. Elaine works with participants to increase their understanding of what collaboration is, and how it can be built online. Relevant models, strategies and theories are illustrated so that participants can develop successful projects and improved strategies for their own practice. Elaine and Niki will end with a reflection on trust and relationships; a part of every successful collaboration.
Dr. Elaine Hoter received her doctorate from the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, in 2001 in the field of online learning in teacher education. She is a senior lecturer at Talpiot College of Technology. She taught the first online course in Israel in 1995 English through the Internet and co-chaired the first online conference for teacher educators. Elaine is a Fulbright scholar and co-founder of the Center for Technology and Multiculturalism. In collaboration with the University of Canterbury e-Learning Lab Elaine is supporting Linwood College to collaborate with schools abroad using their digital classroom donated by the Israeli Embassy.
