St. John’s Global Online Learning Exchange (GOLE) is an innovative, active-learning approach that brings faculty and students together with international partners to participate in cross-cultural learning experiences.
The collaboration is embedded within each partner’s existing semester course. During the collaboration, students work together on projects and activities that aim to enhance both course content and intercultural competencies. Classroom-based and student-to-student interactions are conducted through synchronous and asynchronous assignments using technology that best suits the needs of the exchange.
GOLE aligns with two of St. John’s strategic priorities, to “ensure student success” and to “expand global and community partnerships,” by integrating a high-impact educational practice—global learning—into participating classes.
