These resources from Aperian Global will help participants to gain insight and information on over 50 topics related to doing business and interacting effectively with people from almost 100 different cultures. 

In this activity, participants reflect on the positive and negative effects of tourism and study abroad programs. Then, they will create their own personal ethics for global learning to prepare for their own study abroad experiences.

Global Learning Short Scales take statements from the VALUE rubric, from the benchmark and capstone level, and have students self-reflect and self-evaluate. The construct key includes the other GL dimensions as well. This is also open access so you don’t have to pay to use them. This tool can be extremely useful as a formative assessment to encourage reflection on the part of the learners.

You can download the VALUE rubrics free from the AAC&U site.

The quinoa case study was designed as a pilot by Dr Landorf and 3 colleagues and challenges learners to consider cultural differences when it comes to agriculture or farming and the ethical dilemmas of commercialization and globalization.

Helps learners reflect on themselves as cultural beings and compare and contrast the cultural influences in their lives.

Danger of a Single Story is a discussion-based activity based on the popular TED Talk by Chimamanda Adichi and helps learners understand the challenges of singular narratives in perpetuating stereotypes and biases. Gets beyond essentialized or dominant perspectives.

This survey is based on the Wesleyan Intercultural Competence Scale (WICS) created by Steven Stemler, Toshie Imada, and Carolyn Sorkin of Wesleyan University (Frontiers vol. 24, Fall 2014). The current version was revised and edited by Dr. Daniel Jones and Dr. Kris Acheson-Clair of the Center for Intercultural Learning, Mentorship, Assessment and Research at Purdue University. We are in the process of validating it. 

Please peruse this website to learn more about the GLUE curriculum. 

This activity challenges participants to consider how they view people in different situations and from different cultures, as well as how empathy impacts our views of others.
