| Details | The SDGs have been called “the world’s largest lesson”, and as such, they constitute a tremendous educational opportunity. Throughout the unprecedented academic years of 2020 and 2021, a project was initiated, extended, and continued between cohorts of students at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies and Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The ongoing aim of these collaborations has been to connect larger issues to local communities. Due to the ubiquity and global reach of the Google Suite for Education - now Google Workspace for Education - groups can work together and interact in a way never before possible. Our research highlights the methodology, best practices, challenges, and advantages of structuring collaborative international projects in a virtual space with hyperlinks, sheets, multimedia, and shared documents embedded within a master sheet shared between up to a hundred participants. |
