Global Classrooms are virtual, project-based courses offered in collaboration
with partner universities abroad. You can learn more about them here: http://globalmaryland.umd.edu/content/global-classrooms
We are putting together a Global Classroom Design Team that will be the
driving force in developing these innovative classes.
As a member of the Design Team, you will:
1. Develop and execute methods of analyzing the effectiveness of these
courses
2. Establish criteria that will be used to select future courses for the
Global Classroom program
3. Propose new classes based on design thinking that will involve interacting
with students and faculty to gather ideas and test prototypes
4. Plan ways of promoting the courses to students and faculty
You must be able to commit five hours per week to the Design Team in addition
to attending biweekly meetings. Please email Justin Lee
([log in to unmask]) or Ann Marie Huisentruit ([log in to unmask])
with any questions.
