Global Classroom
•
These are classrooms that engage our students with
students at one of our partner universities abroad
through a range of on-line and electronic technologies,
addressing global challenges and solutions.
•
We are launching a few such pilot classrooms at Drexel
this Spring Term 2013. Faculty members who are ready
to incorporate a global dimension into their classroom
experience and link it to a class of students from one of
our international partners are eligible to apply to
participate in this pilot.
•
The Office of International Programs will provide up to
four $1,000 stipends to professors who propose to
incorporate this global aspect into a scheduled class for
the Spring Term.
