/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.
