The Center for Global Learning and Engagement offers the Global Learning Institute (GLI) as an annual professional development workshop for faculty and staff in collaboration with聽the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Academic Leadership (CETAL).
The two-day workshop primarily focuses on Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). It also includes topics related to education abroad and implementing global learning in the curriculum.
Global Learning Fellows
Faculty from five colleges have completed the GLI since its inception in 2021:
- College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences
- College of Business
- College of Education
- College of Health and Behavioral Sciences
- Honors College
Faculty who complete the annual GLI are expected to add a聽COIL project to an existing course. Since spring 2022, 11 Global Learning Fellows have collaborated with international partners from 10 countries on five continents.
Six Global Learning Fellows have earned the Distinguished COIL Fellow designation for completing two or more COIL projects. A Distinguished COIL Fellow co-created the CETAL Global Learning and Internationalization Reading Group in 2022. The reading group has since evolved into a research group.
