Short Study Trips and Virtual Exchange Webinar

This webinar on April 25 from 9-10 a.m. explores the potential of short international study trips and virtual exchange opportunities to foster learner engagement with new ideas, practices, and people in other parts of the world. To frame the discussion, presenters will consider the alignment of frequently articulated goals for international learning and related learner preparation needs in three areas: culture and communication, global views, and professional expertise. They’ll draw on research literature and their own work to discuss goals, curricular activities, and reported evidence associated with both approaches, and they’ll identify strengths and challenges for each approach. The webinar will conclude with recommendations for designing and leading short study trips and virtual exchange opportunities for global learners. The webinar will touch on exchanges with Australia and Scotland. Register on Corsizio. For more information, contact Younus Mirza, Ph.D., at ymirza@su.edu.
