description The continuing improvements in the worldwide access to the Internet are rapidly improving the ability for international collaborative eLearning. The University of Kansas (KU) and University of Costa Rica (UCR) are developing eLearning strategies designed to establish meaningful and sustained relationships. We are investigating: 1) how to use technology and pedagogy to enrich social interaction and learning, 2) strategies and technologies for engaging students in collaborating on issues of mutual interest, 3) understanding how the quality of relationships can improve learning, 4) institutional issues and barriers related to implementing coursework, certifications and academic programs across international institutions. Our analysis indicates that student collaborate more when they can meet in live teleconferencing as opposed to relying solely of asynchronous email or threaded discussions for collaborative project. Participants reported that strategies that scaffold activities by beginning with clearly stated problems and achievable common goals, such as locating and ranking relevant web resources, contribute to richer collaborations.
