This publication on institutional efforts to improve and assess global learning looks in detail at initiatives undertaken by three institutions in the United States.

In this book, experts in international education provide a vital overview of cross-cultural communication and a detailed, yet accessible, deconstruction of cultural barriers.

Green establishes a terminology for professionals both inside and outside the United States to clearly understand the complex concepts by using different units of analysis: measures, metrics, and indicators.

After attending this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Review key questions in collecting useful data;
• Articulate how to collect data in a way that is sustainable and allows for longitudinal analysis;
• Examine how to best mine for data;
• Discover how to convert data into useful information;
• Learn best practices for productive discussions and partnerships on data with other offices

The content will be relevant to those working in education abroad, risk management, internships, third-party providers, and extracurricular programs.

About the myCAP© Instrument

The myCAP© Instrument is an 18-item online survey tool designed to assess the current level of an individual’s cultural awareness along three dimensions: (1) understanding of cultural and global contexts, (2) integration of global and cultural perspectives in the curriculum, and (3) responsiveness to the influence of culture on teaching and learning. Each time the individual takes this survey, he/she will be provided with a report summarizing his/her current levels of overall cultural and global awareness. This report will also provide recommendations on ways that he/she can improve his/her levels of awareness. This instrument is designed to be used as a part of a course; whether in a traditional university classroom, an in-service professional development program, or an experiential learning experience. All Student Licenses are tied to an “Instructor” of Record for the course.
