Dear Colleagues,
There are so many moving parts to a travel program—personnel, budget, student applications, logistics, risk management to name a few—that it is easy to pay less attention to a program’s academic components!
What do we want our students to learn? How will we use the travel locations to facilitate student learning? How will we prepare students to develop intercultural competence? How will we assess student learning? These are just a few of the many academic questions we need to consider when designing a travel program.
