Unique VE programs our organization has developed
The Global Case Study Challenge (GCSC) focuses on intercultural, digital communication and sustainability competencies. The project showcases how new virtual models of learning within real-world contexts can forge new global connections, contribute to global learning and digital global readiness. Students work together for 10 weeks in global virtual teams of 5-7 students, establishing team-building dynamics, collaborating on real-life project based assignments, before presenting their solutions and recommendations to a corporate partner at a global virtual conference. The teaching cohort engage in experiential professional development (EPD): applying common pedagogical approaches, collaborating across cultural and disciplinary contexts and integrating digital collaboration formats into their curricula.
