在本文中描述的合作项目围绕建设一个虚拟的巴别塔在3D协同虚拟环境（3D CVE）。它涉及三个合作机构的学生，他们来自三个不同的大洲，不同的时区。它解决了学生参与国际合作的日益增长的需求，因为今天的信息和通信技术工作需要它。这需要与合作者的跨文化理解，但在教学环境中很少有机会发生这种情况。因此，本文讨论了一个教学为导向的案例研究的使用三维CVE作为一个多文化的课堂，描述和讨论不同阶段的跨文化协作过程。
The collaboration project described in this paper revolves around the construction of a virtual Tower of Babel in a 3D Collaborative Virtual Environment (3D CVE). It involved students across three cooperating institutions, on three different continents in different time zones. It addresses the increasing need for students to engage in international collaboration, as much of today’s Information and Communication Technology work demands it. This requires cross-cultural understandings with one’s co-collaborators, yet there are few opportunities for this to occur in a pedagogical setting. Therefore, this paper discusses a pedagogically-oriented case study of the use of a 3D CVE as a multi-cultural classroom, describing and discussing different phases in the cross-cultural collaborative process.
