About this title

Synopsis

Can we connect the rural college classrooms of Virginia, Siberia, and Baden-Württemberg? Have the efforts to link students with the international academic centers been fruitful? By providing the definition of Global Learning Environment (GLE), this book makes the vision of global education a reality for faculty and students of different disciplines and cultures. As a concept and an educational model, a GLE shows how to connect students with the international network of faculty focused on meeting the challenges of globalization and sustainability. Five unique characteristics and four global features of a GLE are described and analyzed thoroughly within the framework of constructivism and deep learning. The sincere hope for the proposed model is to positively affect international values and praxes by establishing educational quality and giving the voice to those who dream about truthful education, genuine virtues, and real change. The book opens a dialogue regarding how a GLE can initiate meaningful changes in educational systems. The results of this work provide an avenue for teachers, students, and leaders to grow together and transform the world
