Cross Cultural Project Based Learning & Soft Skills Practice

Abstract

This poster presents an ongoing experience carried out by two international higher education institutions, Lakeland Community College, Ohio and CESI, France. Based on the introduction of a PBL cross-cultural cooperative project, this classroom innovation aims at introducing soft skills practice and self-reflection into the curriculum of computer science students. This poster explains our approach, the results of the first step of this project, perspectives to replicate cooperative workshops on a larger scale, and give students and academics tools to monitor soft skills development.
