Global Learning Environment

Can we connect the rural college classrooms of
Virginia, Siberia, and Baden-Württemberg? Have the
efforts to link students with the international
academic centers been fruitful? By providing the
definition of Global Learning Environment (GLE), this
book makes the vision of global education a reality
for faculty and students of different disciplines and
cultures. As a concept and an educational model, a
GLE shows how to connect students with the
international network of faculty focused on meeting
the challenges of globalization and sustainability.
Five unique characteristics and four global features
of a GLE are described and analyzed thoroughly within
the framework of constructivism and deep learning.
The sincere hope for the proposed model is to
positively affect international values and praxes by
establishing educational quality and giving the voice
to those who dream about truthful education, genuine
virtues, and real change. The book opens a dialogue
regarding how a GLE can initiate meaningful changes
in educational systems. The results of this work
provide an avenue for teachers, students, and leaders
to grow together and transform the world
