Abstract
Specialized educational programs previously unavailable to many students are now accessible to

students spread throughout the world. In particular, this globalization presents new opportunities

and challenges for universities educating professionals in the field of autism treatment. The aim

of the present case study is to analyse the experiences of students who participated in an

intercultural graduate level blended learning course in applied behaviour analysis with an autism

focus. Students were enrolled in universities in four Nordic-Baltic countries. Country based focus

group interviews and surveys were used to explore student’s experiences and perceptions. Results

indicate that access to expertise and interacting with other cultures were noted to positively affect

learning experience. Risk for cultural divide due to discrepancies in technology, differing

pedagogical traditions, and understanding of English were also reported. Implications regarding

the potential risks and benefits inherent in intercultural blended learning courses are discussed

and suggestions are offered for enhancing the success of such courses.
