Abstract
Using elements of Jazz—improvisation and managing uncertainty—teams at North Carolina Central University, University of South Africa, and the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus, Denmark collaborated on a course that challenged students to explore Jazz in other cultures. In this chapter, the team members document their experiences of planning and managing a course at three very different universities on three continents in real-time. They outline challenges and reveal strategies employed in the design and implementation of this course.
