The instrument is a product of research from theorganizational behavior and cultural intelligence fields of study. It provides both a means tomeasure a student’s performance level (cultural intelligence quotient, or CQ) and guides studentstowards specific ways to improve. The courses for implementation were selected specifically toprovide a snapshot of the students' abilities at throughout the program, as a trial for where in theprogram teaching interventions might best occur, and as an exploration in how to teach such skillsets. 4

One major problem with innovative teachingmethodologies is that there is a lack of fit between the innovative instruction and theevaluative measures (i.e., tests and examinations). In order for multimedia teaching techniquesto be effective, there needs to be focus placed on student applications of theoretical conceptsto solve problems.Because of the unique nature of multimedia, problems exist with the delivery of instruction.Jonassen4 described three major problems that occur in multimedia: navigation (users get lostin the document), difficulty in integrating the presented information into personal knowledgestructures, and cognitive overload.
