/The Wiley Handbook of Collaborative Online Learning and Global 
Engagement/ is a resource book on the globally connected courses by 
Global Liberal Arts Alliance (GLAA), an international partnership of 
colleges and universities advancing liberal arts education within the 
contexts of its member institutions, and a part of Wiley Handbooks in 
Education series.

The various research articles are based on connected course that 
different professors from across the world co-taught online via Webex, 
zoom or other technology. The connection of courses on various media 
topics including e.g. dance, peace journalism etc. required and inspired 
students to work on issues in each other's national context. The courses 
helped students explore their personal and social responsibility to 
understand global challenges and recognize that their perspectives and 
experiences could inform each other in addressing global challenges in 
local contexts. Students worked on joint newswriting and recording, 
documentaries and research paper assignments in groups. Students 
sometimes had access to resource materials and networks of the partner 
universities e.g. Pakistani and Nigerian students utilized each other’s 
resources through Forman Christian College Pakistan, American University 
in Nigeria, Global Peace Journalism Network and Dart Center during the 
period. It tremendously upgraded their learning experiences and the 
quality of the courses.

*Willey Blackwell has published a number of articles on the globally 
connected courses in this handbook in the education series*. The book is 
timeliest in view of the worldwide significance of online education 
since the appearance of Covid-19. In addition, it points to the 
significance of collaborative learning between the local and 
international universities. The citation and abstract of the article and 
the description of the book are provided below:

*DESCRIPTION*

*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.
