The semi-structured interview protocol focused on following questions: What preparation did you go through for this activity? Individually? With the others? Can you reflect on the experience of introducing the design heuristics to your course? What went well? What didn’t go as well? What would you do differently? What changes did you make between the first and second class session? Why did you make these changes? [note the difference in time and depth of examples/application between the two] How did the students react to this idea generation method? What are the implications for introducing idea

These benchmarks forsuccess include: “an ability to learn how to learn, an ability to form learning communities,and an ability to collaborate in distributed corporate settings, across countries, continents andcultures”[3].Universities attempt to capture the demand for the new skillset by revising and extending theexistent intended learning outcomes (ILOs) to include references to the meta-competencies.Biggs and Tang[5] note that the most effective ILOs will challenge students to go further than‘solve’ or ‘explain’, asking instead to ‘apply to professional practice’, ‘hypothesise’,‘reflect’, even ‘relate to principles’, in short to demonstrate the so-called higher-orderthinking skills

There is opportunity for reflection and peer review of each others’ contributions bystudents. More recently, some authors used wikis to allow users to add, modify, or delete contentusing a standard browser, to create a site that thoroughly explores a topic. But, unfortunately, manyof those studies have not produced as good results as expected. For instance, Cole 13 conducted anexperiment in a course on information systems with 75 students; it was organized so that lectureswere in alternate weeks, the other weeks being intended for students to discover new material andpost to the class wiki.

Moreover, this definition clearly states, that intercultural competence can only beshown in intercultural situations. Consequently, this means, it only can be development incorresponding learning situations. The developed course should serve as
