Students from American College of Norway, the University of North Dakota, and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth, South Africa came together through technology with the objective to have engage in a dialogue on topics such as like world peace, sustainable peace and global citizenship. Students were using this as an opportunity to connect to one another. Students were excited for the opportunity to engage, they had exposure to great speakers (digitally) and materials. They were connected to one another via online channels. Students answered questions on a blog and on Facebook, and although at first the answers may have been surface level, eventually student answers became more sophisticated. The study concludes by acknowledging the value of studying abroad, but recognizing that not all students have the opportunity to do so. Some of the value of study abroad is the exposure to culture and enhanced desire to learn, with technology it is possible to help students develop a passion for learning and create a sense of understanding for global issues.
