The Global Engagement Learning Matrix
Short Prep – Low Impact Activities
These global engagement activities can be prepared in a relatively short time frame — 30 minutes or less. While their global engagement quotient is low, these activities do an excellent job of introducing students to global content and themes. These activities are perfect for instructors who want to spark students’ curiosity and interest about the world beyond the horizon.
Short Prep – High Impact Activities
While these global activities require minimal prep time, they score higher on the global engagement scale than their short prep – low impact counterparts. These activities help bridge the gap from emergent global awareness to deeper global engagement and intercultural competence. For instructors looking for an easy route to raising their learners’ global competency, these activities will serve them well.
Extensive Prep – Low Impact Activities
These activities require more prep time than their short prep – low global engagement counterparts. However, the pay off is that while the global engagement impact of these learning activities is relatively low, their cognitive value is relatively high. These activities are perfect for instructors who are willing to invest a little extra time to create memorable, globally engaging learning experiences for their students.
