However, thisinformation is available from 6 out of 8 projects analyzed and hence is presented in the corresponding column. Figure 1. Organizations’ general practices6. ConclusionsVirtual Teams main characteristic is the location of members in different geographical areas.Therefore, it is mandatory that individuals involved in a virtual project use a mix of technologytools to work effectively. The different knowledge, backgrounds, cultures and experiences ofVirtual Team members foster disruptive innovations. This is especially useful in projectsinvolving research

With the purpose of improving undergraduates’integrated research ability in diverse engineering disciplines, the VIP program has become aunique course where students of all years (from freshmen to seniors) and from many majors(engineering plus the arts and social studies) perform certain projects lasting for severalsemesters. In Fall, 2016, VIP had grown to 106 students in 10 research projects (Figures 1 and2). 12

In recent years, many design initiatives in the public health sphere have begun toemphasize CBPR in an effort to encourage genuine, collaborative partnerships betweenresearchers and communities10-12, and increasingly other disciplines have begun to implementCBPR principles as well. One of the most widely utilized definitions of CBPR was put forth bythe W.K. Kellogg Foundation in 2001, defining the research method as: “a collaborative process to research that equitably involves all partners in the research

The students who had no significantchange in their DO after the study tour, had an average initial DO of 73.7. This suggests thatincreasing interventions focused on increasing students DO prior to departure might increase theirlikelihood of significant personal growth and intercultural development.The adaptation scale of the IDI measures one’s recognition about the need to change one’s thinkingand behavior to interact effectively with people in different cultural contexts.

Due to the continued enrollment in recent years, teachers’ teachingworkload increases rapidly, resulting in many teachers having no time to innovative trainingmode and methods and having to use traditional methods to complete the teaching task.Teachers lack the sense of innovation, so they will not produce creative teaching results andscientific research. On the other hand, the curiosity and imagination of students are oftenignored in education; many students are only used to passively answer the ready-madequestion, lacking the ability to take initiative to propose new issues.D.
