In This Together
Teachers' Experiences with Transnational, Telecollaborative Language Learning Projects
Series:
Edited By Melinda Ann Dooly Owenby and Robert O'Dowd
This book provides a nexus between research and practice through teachers’ narratives of their experiences with telecollaboration. The book begins with a chapter outlining the pedagogical and theoretical underpinnings of telecollaboration (also known as Virtual Exchange), followed by eight chapters that explain telecollaborative project design, materials and activities as well as frank discussions of obstacles met and resolved during the project implementation. The projects described in the volume serve as excellent examples for any teacher or education stakeholder interested in setting up their own telecollaborative exchange.

TELECOLLABORATION IN EDUCATION
Edited by
Melinda Dooly & Robert O’Dowd
The series’ focus is on the pedagogical processes and outcomes of engaging learners
in different geographical locations in virtual contact and collaboration together. This
contact can take place through the application of online communication tools such as
e-mail, synchronous chat and threaded discussion as well as the tools of Web 2.0: like
wikis, blogs, and online publishing. The series is also particularly interested in innovative
teaching practices involving telecollaboration that integrate the use of newly emerging
forms of Internet tools such as social networking or 3D virtual worlds.
A major aim is to reflect the diversity of research and practice in this area of knowledge,
providing a space for transversal dialogue among teachers and teacher trainers,
administrators, researchers, and educators working in different subject areas as well
as various areas of education.
Telecollaboration in Education deals with the application of such activity in different
subject areas (e.g. Foreign Languages, History, Science) and in different educational
contexts, including but not limited to primary, secondary, university and adult education.
Publications within the series include scholarly monographs and collected papers
editions as well as cutting-edge projects that exemplify good practice in the application
of distanced collaborative efforts. Training manuals for educators in the organisation
and application of telecollaboration are also a possible type of publication within the
series. Language of publication is English.
