abroad trip to Western Europe. This four-week program included 12intensive, 4-hour class meetings designed to teach students a full semester of Statics contentknowledge. The course was originally designed to include active, blended, and collaborativelearning elements in both its instruction and learning resources, bringing demonstrations, videos,and group activities into the students’ learning environment. The process of adapting this research-based Statics curriculum, built around a typical 16-week semester, to fit its new internationalsetting was impacted by the timeline, the student population, their social context, and the resourcesavailable abroad. For example, the weekly instructor office hours held during a typical semesterbecame daily
