In this collection, we have gathered notes on and links to eight validated surveys, curated here in the HubICL, that align to one or more of the aspects of intercultural competence as defined in the AAC&U Intercultural Knowledge and Competence rubric.  Of these eight instruments, five are free or offer a valid and reliable free version; while two offer an immediate free feedback report to the learner.  These are our current "go-to" surveys when attempting to support a study abroad instructor through the use of the worksheet for intentional intercultural planning.

This collection gathers together links and provides notes about four items that will help you make sense of qualitative data and behavioral data, designated as Group B on the worksheet for intentional intercultural learning, above.  It also contains links to an earlier HubICL collection which suggests readings that will improve your ability to advocate for the use of qualitative data analysis and to do it better.

This collection gather together and annotates links to all of the formative tools listed as "Group A" on the intercultural action plan worksheet.

This toolkit contains an action planning worksheet, which will assist the instructor or program designer in thinking about what the student(s) will be able to do better as a result of participating in a study abroad program or other intercultural learning opportunity, using the AAC&U Intercultural Knowledge and Competence Rubric as its definitional framework. In addition, it contains brief descriptions of and direct links to a set of recommended assessment instruments for each facet of intercultural competence.

This collection came about after an important conversation at the AAC&U VECOIL Institute Monthly Meet up in October 2023. Questions were raised with regard to intercultural learning tools that offer visual options only and that are not dependent on reading text for learning outcomes. This collection includes tools from the toolbox that fall under this category with the tags "visual learning" and "nontext-based." 

This collection includes question activities and resources to spark dialogue, and support relationship-building (i.e., mentoring, communicating across difference, etc.) and team-building.

This collection includes articles from the 2021 Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad's Special Issue on Assessment as Pedagogy in Education Abroad, in addition to brief interviews with several of the authors. 

The language of music is a window into the soul and a lens through which to see the world, making it an excellent avenue to develop intercultural learning. This collection includes intercultural learning activities, stories, songs, and articles pertaining to the power of music.

This Collection was created to capture the HubICL activities and resources demonstrated at the Interactive—Even Fun!—Resources for Reviewing the Intercultural Development Continuum session presented by Annette Benson, CILMAR, at the 2023 NAFSA Conference. 

These resources are collected specifically for faculty at East Carolina University as part of a QEP designed to build intercultural learning into the on-campus curriculum. They may be useful for other institutions of higher ed as well.

This collection was created to highlight qualitative methods for assessing intercultural and global competence and qualitative tools in the HubICL, principally those which are open-source. It also provides access to some key readings about validity and reliability of qualitative research.

This collection highlights Thiagi's expertise, research, and application of games and simulations.
