Network Innovation to Enhance Knowledge Sharing in Global Learning

Thursday, March 20, 2025
8:45 AM – 9:45 AM US EST
Location: Maple, Mezzanine level
Practitioners and scholars have long understood the value of partnerships in education abroad. But how can we move beyond bilateral partnerships and bring our partners into relationship with each other, and to what end? In this session, we discuss the benefits and challenges of three approaches we have employed to facilitate networking amongst our partners to enhance program outcomes at three levels: 1) the institutional level ; 2) the programmatic level; and 3) the classroom level.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will analyze the value of facilitating strategic networking opportunities amongst global learning partners at the the institutional level, programmatic level, and classroom level.
  • Participants will learn innovative approaches used at different institutions to facilitate networking and relationship building among global learning partners at the university level, programmatic level, and classroom level to enhance program outcomes.
  • Participants will apply these network facilitation approaches to their own institutional contexts and consider how they can strengthen and elevate program outcomes through strategic partner networking.
