USA-Latin American Experiential Learning Project: The Instructor Balancing Act
Zwerg-Villegas, Anne Marie; Hiller, George L.
Journal of Teaching in International Business, v31 n4 p337-357 2020
Experiential learning (EL) projects require planning, patience, and commitment on the part of the organizing and facilitating instructors. Language, culture, time zone, and institutional diversity exacerbates the inherent difficulties in conducting virtual, international EL projects. This manuscript discusses an ongoing multi-country project between a prestigious private university in the United States and several Latin American university contributors to execute a joint student experiential learning consulting project. The authors develop an intuitive instructor-focused jobs demands-resources model of involvement in international, virtual, experiential learning projects and triangulate the propositions with extant literature, interview responses in the ongoing case project, and survey data from participants in a similar project.
