Collaboration in Virtual Space (1996-2008)
The reason for this summary of former collaborative projects is that even ancient projects may help to encourage and inspire some new projects in this age of cell phones and zoom, an age in which collaborating in virtual space has become so much easier. And the new teams of collaborators may be able to learn from all the mistakes that were made by the older experiments. To be clear from the outset: ›Virtual‹ space was not seen as the best leanrning space but only as the best practical way to realize some aspects of the teaching processs. For all participants the actual concrete meetings at workshops at the partcipating US campuses by the US students and joint visits of theater performances in New York City as well as meeting the guests in person on campus instead of seeing them only on the videoconference screen were always the highlights of the semester. But the benefits should also not to be overlooked: they included besides pedagogical also very practical aspects:
