Course Description

The international collaborative learning project for the Internet Law and Ethics course is an innovative teaching model designed in response to the current global governance demands of internet law. With the rapid development of the digital economy and the increasing frequency of cross-border data flows, internet legal issues have long transcended national boundaries, becoming challenges that require collective efforts from the international community. In this context, cultivating internet legal professionals with a global perspective and cross-cultural communication skills has become particularly important. The core educational objectives encompass three dimensions:First, at the knowledge level, the project aims to enable students to gain an in-depth understanding of cutting-edge issues in internet law and the current state of global governance, while mastering relevant international rules and comparative legal knowledge.Second, at the competency level, the project seeks to enhance students' abilities in legal research and analysis, cross-cultural teamwork, and legal expression in English.Finally, at the values level, the project strives to foster an open-minded attitude among students, respecting legal pluralism and understanding cultural differences across legal jurisdictions, while instilling a sense of responsibility as digital citizens.
