How Information Technology helps to mitigate difficulties occurred in teaching intercultural groups

摘要

In the globalised world teaching international groups in higher education is inevitable. Students travel everywhere with exchange programs to spend one or two semesters at a university in another country. In Europe students have different attitudes towards study, course materials and tutors. Tutors have to prepare for new teaching methods in intercultural environment. This paper collects the cultural dimensions that are emerging in teaching difficulties in intercultural groups in higher education and describes how IT can mitigate these difficulties.
