Procedures for Submitting a Course for Global Learning Designation


Step 1: Participate in global learning development workshop

Lead faculty revising an existing course or developing a new course for global learning designation should participate in a two-session global learning development workshop. Faculty members receive extra-state compensation for participation in all workshop sessions and submission of a course for global learning designation. To register, visit: http://goglobal.fiu.edu/Faculty/Pages/Workshops.aspx.

In the workshop, faculty and Student Affairs staff members engage in the process of revising/developing global learning courses and activities. Participants will utilize the Backwards Curriculum Design model to plan the course or activity. The workshop enables participants to design global learning outcomes, assessments, pedagogical strategies, content, and readings.

Step 2:  Revise/develop course

After attending the workshop, faculty submit a draft of the course syllabus and the global learning assessment matrix to the Office of Global Learning Initiatives (OGLI). The OGLI provides feedback and assists faculty members in preparing the course for curriculum committee submission.

Step 3: Submit course for approval

When the course is ready for submission, follow these steps:

1. Download the GL form on the FS website: http://www2.fiu.edu/~fsenate/curriculum/globallearning/gl%20proposal%20form.pdf
2. Have your chair sign the form and send the original copy of the form to the OGLI (GL 461) for the OGLI director’s signature along with:
          a. Two CDs with the course syllabus and assessment matrix therein
          b. Two hard copies of the course syllabus and assessment matrix

When the OGLI receives these documents, it will shepherd materials through the following approval committees:
