Abstract

A case study will follow the process of change that is introduced through grassroots collaboration between members of one university in the southwestern United States and one university in northern Mexico. The intent of the project is to work together to introduce online instructional techniques for web-enhanced courses in the foreign language department at the Mexican university. The theoretical framework for this study is based on Everett Roger's Theory of Diffusion of Innovations, Ely's Conditions for Change, and Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory. While the basic motivation for the study is to introduce change and study the process as it unfolds, we also hope to discover best practices for change in cross-border collaboration between neighboring educational institutions.
