We have done some work to extend this that may illuminate such a caution. We ran an online course over several weeks. We had 3 tutors in the UK teaching online with 3 tutors in China. In addition each tutor worked with different groups each made up of participants from both countries. Believe me it's about a lot more than just time management in groups. Certainly the time issue is important but so too is culture. Inter-cultural informal learning in global settings over time might help to broaden the framework perhaps? We have a chapter in press on this but we are only at the start of this issue. Thank you for creating this space to discuss it.
