Virtual Global Collaboration in Data Analytics and Machine Learning Education: A Mixed-Methods Study of Asynchronous Cross-Border Teamwork

A research paper details an innovative Virtual Global Collaboration (VGC) initiative involving undergraduate computing students from the United States and Pakistan. This project utilized asynchronous, cross-border teamwork in data analytics and introductory machine learning to foster both technical and intercultural skill development. Students worked in mixed-institution teams through a six-phase project, leveraging shared computational tools and coordinating across different time zones.

This initiative demonstrates a viable model for international collaboration in technical education, addressing the growing need for globally competent professionals in data analytics and machine learning. It highlights the potential for institutions to leverage virtual environments to enhance skill development and foster intercultural understanding, which is critical in an increasingly interconnected global workforce.

A structured Virtual Global Collaboration (VGC) activity was implemented for undergraduate computing courses in the United States and Pakistan.
