Introduction to Backward Course Design and Defining Global Learning Outcomes

This session is great for faculty, professional developers, and instructional designers new to global learning or just beginning the process of infusing global learning into courses and activities. Bring current goals/outcomes/objectives to revise if you’ve got them, or come open to designing brand new ones! You’ll leave with a solid plan of action for using outcomes to design high quality global learning experiences for your students—on campus, online, in the community, or abroad. Facilitator: Stephanie Doscher, Director, Office of Global Learning Initiatives, Florida International University

The Context of Global Learning Across the Disciplines

Using a disciplinary framework, this session provides an opportunity for faculty who are internationalizing their curriculum (syllabi) to explore what internationalization looks like in the context of their discipline and to compare/contrast various disciplinary attributes. This session is ideal for participants who are seeking to further identify various disciplinary approaches to global learning and/or to better understand how faculty may engage (or not) with internationalization. Facilitator: Melanie Agnew, Dean of Education, Westminster College

The Diverse Classroom: Inclusive and Collaborative Teaching

Global Learning and classroom diversity go well together, but working with students from diverse backgrounds is often challenging. This interactive session will explore some techniques to make classes inclusive to students of diverse backgrounds. We will explore cultural views on collaboration and learn some tips that help all learners succeed in our classroom. Facilitator: Karen Marsh, Director, English for Academic Success, Linguistics Department, University of Utah

Bring your syllabi: Workshopping syllabi to infuse global learning

This session provides an opportunity for faculty who are working on developing global learning outcomes in their courses and restructuring course activities to meet those outcomes to ask questions and receive ideas and recommendations from other attendees and the facilitators.
