Did it work? Was all the work that we did to connect our courses worth it? well, there is only one way to find out! Today I forwarded to my class a series of questions regarding our globally connected experience and will post a summary of (anonoymous) responses when I finally get all of the data.  I was particularly interested in the students experiences with intergroup anxiety. There is a theory that reducing intergroup anxiety may be related ton increased cultural sensitivity. In the future, it would be good to explicitly measure these two constructs but for now these are the questions I asked: 

1. How useful was the map assignment? Do you feel that it helped your understanding of cross cultural psychology?
2. With regards to contacting your partner, how excited were you to make contact with your partner? Did you confident making this connection?
3. How awkward was it to contact your partner? Did you dread it at all?
4. How anxious did you feel contacting your partner? Were there particular things that you felt worried about?
5. Did you continue to feel anxious after your first contact?
6. How tense did you feel making contact with your partner? Why? What made you feel tense?
7. Was there anything that made you feel uneasy during this course connection?
8. How much, if at all, did this course connection irritate you?  
9. How much, if at all, did you enjoy this course connection? Why?
10. Do you feel that this course connection helped deepen your understanding of Saudi Arabia? How so?
11. What was your favorite part of this experience?
12. If you had to do a globally connected course again, would you do it?
13. Do you intend to keep in contact with your partner?
14. What words of advice might you have for future instructors who want to globally connect their courses?
15. Other thoughts?
