March 2026: ICODICE Manual published
We published the manual of the ICDOCIDE method for Internationally Connected Digital Classroom Education.
ICODICE is an innovative approach in higher education that brings together students from different countries in shared digital classrooms to exchange knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. A practical guide for stakeholders in higher education - including lecturers and university administrations - was recently published and can be found under the following link: https://www.uni-giessen.de/en/faculties/f09/institutes/agri/gnt/imagesresearch/digital_internationally-connected-digital-classroom-education.pdf. This manual offers practical guidance for planning and implementing similar international online collaborations in higher education.
The ICODICE method was developed in a pilot project between Justus-Liebig-University Gießen (Germany), the University of Siegen (Germany), and Kerala Agricultural University (India) and funded by the German foundation for innovation in higher education (“Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre”). ICODICE brought together students from India and Germany and focused on the effects of climate change, climate justice, and pathways of socio-ecological transformation - topics that are relevant to societies both in the Global South and the Global North.
