Welcome UNICollaboration, the home of online intercultural exchange for university

classrooms!

Click through this short presentation to see what you can do in our platform…

To start exploring, click on the ‘partners’ tab in the top menu bar. Start here to find databanks of classes, institutions and practitioners

who are interested in establishing contacts…

If you choose ‘classes’ then you’ll be able to search or browse a list of classes which are interested in taking part in online exchange

projects...

When you see a class that you would like to connect to your own class, simply click on ‘Contact the author’ to get into contact and discuss a

possible exchange…

Can’t find a class which suits your students? Then simply click on ‘create a new class’ and let other practitioners read about your group

and the type of exchange you’d like to have…

In the ‘Tasks’ tab in the top menu bar, you’ll find collections of tasks, task sequences (i.e. collections of interconnected tasks) and assessment tools to use in your online exchange projects…

In the task databank you can search or browse for tasks to suit your online exchange.

You can also ‘create a new task’ to share with others…

Want to learn more about how online exchanges work? Click on the ‘Training’ tab in the top menu bar. Here you’ll find accounts of different exchanges (‘Case studies’) and information on how to set up

and run an exchange (‘Training modules’)

When you choose a case study, click on the different tabs to read about the project, the tasks it used and how educators and students

evaluated the project…

Want to discuss issues related to telecollaboration with colleagues? Click on ‘community’ in the top menu bar and participate in our

moderated discussion forums…

The uni-collaboration platform depends on its members sharing and contributing experiences and materials. Click on ‘create’ in the top

menu bar to add new case studies, classes, tasks and more…(All submissions are moderated before being published.)

Want to keep track of all the information, tasks, classes which you have added to the platform? Click on ‘my account’ to see all your

information brought together…

What should you do first? Click on ‘partners’ in the main menu bar. Then choose ‘practitioners’.

Then, choose ‘add more detail to your own practitioner profile’. This will encourage other practitioners to contact you and your classes…

And then?Go to the ‘partners’ tab again. Check in the ‘institutions’ section if your

university is already listed in the databank….

If your institution is not already listed, then go to ‘create’ in the top menu bar, click on ‘institutions’ and add information about your

university or college…

Thank you!
