The Wiley Handbook of Collaborative Online Learning and Global Engagement

Presents  best practices for faculty and administrators developing  globally-connected courses, including learning objectives, collaborative  assignments, and logistical planning

As political  instability, pandemic risks, rising costs, new requirements for  experiential learning, and other factors make it increasingly difficult  for students to study abroad, there is growing interest in globalizing  and internationalizing the curricula of colleges and universities  worldwide. The Wiley Handbook of Collaborative Online Learning and Global Engagement is designed to help educators develop and conduct high-impact,  globally-connected courses across the humanities, the fine arts, and the  social and natural sciences.

This comprehensive  guide covers collaborative practices, course design variables, student  learning approaches, logistical planning, and more. An international  team of contributors from diverse geographic, cultural, and academic  backgrounds offer insight into enhancing pedagogical practice,  coordinating study abroad experiences, and promoting both students' and  faculty's global competencies. Throughout the text, numerous real-world  case studies, interactive and experiential assignments, sample syllabi,  course bibliographies, and links to web and media resources reinforce  best practices for course design, learning objectives, and pedagogy  development. Based on a detailed assessment of 500 students in  collaborative courses across 14 countries, this innovative guide:

• Covers  co-development of learning objectives across different courses,  disciplines and cultural contexts, co-coordination of course content,  technology, and resources, and intercultural learning assessment
• Explores new and innovative ways to engage students in distant locations in collaborative learning
• Provides  advice for overcoming logistical challenges, managing group dynamics,  controlling costs, and implementing connected courses with limited  resources
• Discusses the impact globally-connected courses have on cultural curiosity, knowledge, strategy, and behavior
• Offers  approaches for addressing cultural transgressions and miscommunication,  and for collaborating with other faculty members across cultures and  educational systems

Featuring multiple cultural perspectives and international contexts, The Wiley Handbook of Collaborative Online Learning and Global Engagement is a valuable guide and reference for faculty and administrators  involved in teaching, planning, implementing, or assessing courses with  global learning outcomes.
