Submitting a revised course for global learning designation
Step 1
Participate in a global learning course design and instruction workshop
You may revise an existing course for global learning designation. Start this process by participating in the workshop. If you attended a workshop in the past, we encourage you to refresh your knowledge by:
- Attending a workshop, which begins with a face-to-face or synchronous virtual introduction to global learning, followed by asynchronous online modules
- Contacting the Office of Global Learning Initiatives (OGLI) for in-person support and the latest resources and requirements
FIU faculty receive a $500 extra-state compensation stipend for participation in the workshop upon submission of a global learning course proposal to the Faculty Senate Global Learning Curriculum Oversight Committee (GLCOC).
Please note: Faculty who have previously received a workshop stipend are not eligible to receive a second stipend. Per university policy, graduate assistants, teaching assistants and research assistants are not eligible to receive a stipend for this workshop.
Step 2
Develop a proposal for global learning designation
After participating in the workshop, which covers course proposal requirements, the OGLI is here to help you prepare the new course proposal. We strongly recommend that you submit a draft course proposal to us/the OGLI for feedback prior to submitting it to your department and/or school or college curriculum committee. This greatly increases the chance that designation will be conferred by the Global Learning Curriculum Oversight Committee (GLCOC).
Step 3
Submit a proposal for global learning designation
A complete global learning course proposal consists of 3 items in hard or digital copy:
- Original signed Course Revision for Global Learning Designation form
- global learning Syllabus
- global learning Course Assessment Matrix
First, submit your global learning proposal to your department and/or school or college curriculum committee. Check with your department and or school or college for submission deadlines. After your school or college curriculum committee approves the proposal, it will forward the original signed documents to the Faculty Senate, which are then shared with the GLCOC.
When the GLCOC approves the proposal, it will make a motion to the Faculty Senate to confer global learning designation. After the Faculty Senate ratifies the motion, the global learning designation will be added to PantherSoft and to the Class Notes section in the course catalog.
The course’s approved syllabus and assessment matrix will also be added to our Model Syllabi & Assessments webpage and our global learning Course List.
Submitting a new course for global learning designation
You may simultaneously submit a proposal for a new course number and another separate proposal for global learning designation for the new course. To do so, follow the directions above for the global learning course proposal, using the information you are submitting for the new course number.
