"We at Tsinghua will become innovators in online education and virtual classrooms." Professor Richard Dunham was home in the States when he first realised that this semester was going to look a little different.
Global Business Journalism (@gbjprogram ) program students are spread across 19 time zones so one of the major tasks was coordinating a suitable time for everyone to attend Professor Dunham’s “Advanced News Writing” class this semester. With the support of other faculty members, he believes that they can turn these challenging circumstances into a rewarding educational experience and that online teaching tools can bring new opportunities to his teaching model.
"With these new tools, I can bring my students to the International Center for Journalists or even do real-time practice interviews and bring on more guest speakers and make sure my Tsinghua students feel that their educational experience this semester is as good as (or better than) all of their previous semesters."
