To be successful researchers must make a decision to goto another country personally, and ultimately to be truly successful at building criticalrelationships they must go a step further, that of total immersion in another culture. We can readbooks about a country or culture, however, it is another matter to experience and learn to managedifferences in cultural norms, customs, food and the way food is eaten, greetings, ethics andvalues

This will not bea surprise to most of the established educational market holders, as most are tracking MOOCsclosely and as mentioned above many have placed heavy investments in their development. Thiswill insure they are key players in the MOOC generation of educators. As the cost of educationincreases and employers are forced to screen new employees more on experience, work ethic andpersonality matches, those involved will continue to see MOOCs taking more and more of theeducational market place, possibly finding their place as a disruptive technology.

Realizing that most of her 18-yr old classmates areaccustomed to this process and “just listen and do it” [her tone of voice actually hints that theydo this uncritically], in contrast, she says: “I actually stop and wonder if this is the right thingthat I should be doing [amazing sense of ethical responsibility towards her knowledge] or if thisprocess is actually going to teach me what the professor wants to teach me [amazing sense ofmeta-cognition].” Realizing that her critical reflection takes more time and

Second, these students have bonded as friends based upon this longershared experience. Finally, they have taken on an almost evangelical approach to campaigningfor the continuation of the semester-long version of Creativity and Innovation in the EngineeringDesign Process.
