Utilising the learning platform Moodle, this small-scale project had a primary focus of facilitating communication and exchange between students of a university in Japan and a university in the U.K. The participants consisted of 33 students, 20 from Japan and 13 from the U.K. The project attempted to oversee online interactions between the two groups via activities on the Moodle platform, to encourage participation within this online community and build connections. However, due to problems on both sides of the project, the desired outcomes were not realised. These included activity preparation challenges, student and teacher engagement, time management and scheduling, and teacher-to-teacher communication. This article highlights the challenges in this project and outlines future adaptions to prevent the same mistakes again. It also aims to present to the audience the potential pitfalls of undertaking similar projects.}, pages = {197--202}, title = {The Challenges of Implementing an Online Telecollaboration Project}, volume = {44}, year = {2019} }
