Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic presented opportunities for educational innovations and the development of intercultural learning experiences. A global health assignment guided by a collaborative online international learning pedagogy was assigned to doctoral nursing students from three different countries. Icebreaker activities, along with the Culturally You diagram, commenced the team-building process. Students, mentored by course faculty, completed the assignment, a 10-minute presentation and reflections. Positive trends in intercultural sensitivity scores were observed, highlighting exposure to a new teaching platform, global health issues, and the value of faculty mentorship. While challenges existed, successful collaborations could thrive even during a pandemic.
