Abstract

This paper presents cross-cultural learning experiences between two groups of students from a Canadian and a Japanese university, participating in video game development projects in a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) approach. The paper also documents how those experiences were related to the development of cross-cultural and socio-technical competences. The students worked together in teams through the Discord online communication platform, overcoming time zone differences by collaborating asynchronously. Students successfully designed and developed adventure video games based on Japanese folktales. The paper describes lessons learned regarding our COIL experience conducting cross-cultural video game development projects.
