This document explores the possibilities of educational collaboration between the University of Washington (UW) and the China Central Party School (CCPS). It outlines innovative models such as multisite universities, customized degree programs, synchronous distance offerings, and tutored video instruction. A notable joint project involved UW and Beihang University utilizing video-based instruction to facilitate learning despite time zone challenges. Course offerings were successfully conducted, leading to high interactivity in classes and positive evaluations from students. Insights and findings from the collaboration are shared.

Richard Anderson Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Washington POSSIBILITIES FOR Educational Collaboration BETWEEN US AND CHINA China Central Party School
MODELS OF EDUCATIONAL COLLABORATION • Multisite Universities • Customized Degree Programs • Synchronous Distance Offerings • Sweet spot: Evening Programs in the western United States • 6 pm in Seattle is 9 am in Beijing • Asynchronous course export • Tutored Video Instruction China Central Party School
University of WashingtonBeihang University • Experimental Course offering Autumn 2006 China Central Party School
Tutored Video Instruction with Classroom Interaction • Joint project between University of Washington, Beihang University, and Microsoft Research Asia • Offer an undergraduate course using Tutored Video Instruction • MSRA and Beihang University wanted UW course offered at Beihang • Instructor could not travel to Beijing for full course • Time difference prevented distance course China Central Party School
Tutored Video Instruction • Base course on facilitated use of recorded materials • Materials recorded from a live class • Facilitator guides discussion around materials • Gibbons, Science 1977 China Central Party School
Course Mechanics • Beihang recruited Teaching Assistants • Teaching Assistants at Beihang replayed lecture • Stopped the video regular for questions and explanation • Tablet PC based classroom technology used to increase interactivity China Central Party School
Course results • Three class sections offered at Beihang • Exam performance similar between UW and Beihang (on same exams) • UW Instructor visited, observed class session and gave lecture • Beihang classes very interactive with student discussion • Materials in English, but discussion in Chinese • Students gave positive evaluation China Central Party School
