Connecting Classroom

About

Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) is dedicated to provide an international learning and teaching environment for students and staff, and also the opening gate for further academic collaboration among lecturers and professors between ITS and partner universities.
We are therefore open for collaborations with overseas universities, professors, lecturers, and students to have a connecting classroom / collaborative online international learning (COIL) classes with ITS academic members, prior to inviting academic partners to come to ITS as a guest lecturer.

Benefits

ITS lecturers who are willing to participate in the internationalization through opening one or some of his/her courses to be merged with academic partners, are eligible to invite their academic partners to come to ITS. The cost will be covered by ITS under Global Learning Series (GLS) program.

Requirements

A minimum of two sessions with the following schemes:
(a) one session of online lecture delivered by a guest lecturer (teach ITS students), and one session of online lecture delivered by ITS lecturer (teach international students); or
(b) two sessions with guest lecturers (teach ITS students); or
(c) two joint sessions with lecturers from both institutions (the audience involves students from both universities).

ITS will collect an expression of interest from ITS lecturers who are willing to become the host of COIL and Global Learning Series (GLS) program implementation, creating a list of ITS lecturers’ names along with their respective topics. This will enable future guest lecturers to make their selections.
