Global Education for the Future

This course explores the future of global education by examining new approaches to facilitating international exchange and intercultural learning through technology. We will study models ranging from virtual exchange and connected classes to training programs and Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) programs. We will review the scholarship and practice literature to identify the opportunities and challenges with advancing global learning through technology, including implications for sustainability, diversity, equity, inclusion and access. Through mini-lessons, students will practice design, facilitation, assessment, and evaluation of learning with selected technologies.
