Our Academic Approach

Globally Networked Learning

A learning and teaching approach, specific to CAPA, Globally Networked Learning allows faculty and students to work collaboratively with others across the globe. Facilitated by a robust technology system, students go beyond the traditional classroom experience as they learn from each other and compare perspectives. Through this mechanism, we go beyond teaching about globalization to teaching globally.

Learning & Development Outcomes

We have developed a series of learning and development objectives covering Globalization, Urban Environments, Social Dynamics, Diversity, and Personal & Professional Development. These outcomes are integrated into the curriculum, co-curricular programming, and overall student experience.

Standards for Online Teaching and Learning

CAPA recognizes that online learning is a robust and flexible educational tool that can enhance global education. CAPA is deeply committed to the benefits of student mobility and does not see online provision as a replacement for physical mobility, but as a pedagogy that can be harnessed to teaching and learning liberated from geographical restraints. Mobility of mind is at the heart of this academic agenda.

Academic Integrity

Grounded in principles of rigor and integrity, and developed and implemented in strict adherence to the Forum on Education Abroad’s Standards of Good Practice, our academic programs are intentionally designed to encourage students’ critical analysis of the urban context in which they are living and studying. A consistent, transparent, ongoing system of evaluation and assessment—both internal and external—assures the quality of the academic programs we deliver.
