On the second of May in the year 1808, an event took place in Madrid which was to be of momentous consequence not only in the history of Spain but of revolutionary and Napoleonic France as well. As the last of the Spanish royalty departed from the capital for Bayonne and exile, outraged feelings gave way to an armed uprising against French rule. The revolt was speedily crushed by Murat's troops, but despite the grave restrictions imposed by his order of the day, Spain refused to be quieted. Juan Pérez Villamil, fiscal of the Supreme Council of War, issued a call to arms: "The country is in danger. Madrid is perishing, a victim of French perfidy. Spaniards, hasten to save her. May 2, 1808." The response was immediate; irregular bands of troops sprang up, mob violence was visited upon those accused of being afrancesados (that is, pro-French), and many officials paid with their lives for their apathy in organizing the resistance. Everywhere was heard the cry of the patriots, "i Viva Fernando VII y mueran los franceses!" A few months later the regular Spanish armies were to administer to the troops of imperial France their first defeat. At last the principle of nationalism, so long a vital force in the success of the French revolution and Napoleon, had been turned against France.

El artículo presenta los resultados de la evaluación aplicada al proyecto conjunto México-Estados Unidos de América denominado "Colaboración en Línea para el Aprendizaje Internacional" (COIL- siglas en inglés) aplicado en un módulo de curso de negocios que fue integrado en dos unidades de aprendizaje de negocios diferentes, uno llevado a cabo en una Universidad Mexicana y el otro en una Universidad Estadounidense. Los resultados mostraron que un proyecto de Internacionalización a Distancia (IaD-siglas en inglés) a través de la metodología de COIL, como parte de una iniciativa más amplia de Internacionalización en Casa (IAH- siglas en inglés), puede construir las bases para que los estudiantes desarrollen una conciencia global, habilidades de comunicación intercultural y conocimientos disciplinarios actualizados.
