Network Collaborative Courses (NCCs) are co-designed and taught simultaneously across partner institutions. The courses may differ by institution but share key assignments, bringing students together online for class discussions and collaborations. Students enroll in and receive credit for these courses at their own institution.
NCCs aim to strengthen a set of learning objectives among participating students, including:
1. Global Learning (understanding of global systems and how diverse perspectives impact the framing of global and local issues)
2. Intercultural Competence (curiosity and open-minded consideration of others’ ideas and increased ability to embrace cultural diversity)
3. Teamwork (the ability to synthesize and build on others’ contributions; the development of skills and mindset required for effective collaboration)
Consult with The Connected and Blended Learning Toolkit for support with developing a Network Collaborative Course.

Students and faculty from the "Visual Storytelling for Civic Engagement" Network Collaborative Course reflect on what it means to be a part of an online global classroom, and how global perspective helps tell local narratives.
