"Global Social Problems" course where students are asked to take on the role of a superhero and save the world through research, hands-on work on a local social issue, and imagining a solution to a broader social problem.

Doesn't look like a massively-open online course, but makes me think about setting up one of our own. I love how all of this (assignments, discussion, etc...) is completely exposed. With a course like this, I don't see the need for an LMS.

Article about how Bhutan is struggling to reconcile Buddhist principles with the modern more secular West within the education system.

Really interesting article. I've become fascinated with the inherent tension between local & global communities as the transmission of culture happens faster & in more abundance. It's become part of my dissertation. It also fits in well with Michael Elavsky's work and summer camp.

I have long been intrigued by Bhutan's gross national happiness concept. This article really gets at the heart of wondering what should be in the curriculum and what the goals of education really should be. Thanks so much for sharing.

Anywhere you look in the world today there are asymmetries in the education that people have and the education that people need. Even in the United States, with one of the most sophisticated systems of higher education the world has ever seen, we do not produce enough postsecondary graduates to meet the needs of our economy.

as we explore and expand our range of global opportunities, as new technologies enable us to be more connected, we must be that much more connected to our local communities. In our engagement with the local, we set the foundation to move forward with our work of advancing the betterment of humankind.

I have been frustrated by the dramatic increase in specialization that has taken hold across so many disciplines. Since I first started in academe more and more journals have sprouted which seem to say more and more about less and less, each with their own attendant group of acolytes.

leadership social psuhack

shared by Cole Camplese on 07 Mar 11 - No Cached

January 2011. Lots of mental anguish in the McLeod household. The job may be the best professional setup I’ll ever get. But it’s not the right time to move our family from Ames, Iowa. What to do, what to do? Think outside the box! Pitch UK a ‘global worker’ proposal. 90% of my work is online / electronic anyway. Can I remain in Ames and fly to Lexington a few days a month to take care of the rest? We wait anxiously, fingers and toes crossed. UK says YES!

Scott does really interesting work and his move to UK will have implications for our field in more ways than one. A key to consider, is it OK for a tenured Associate Professor to set up shop at a major University and not live there? Teaching I can working well, but that is only a piece of what one does as an academic at a place like UK or PSU.

Not only does tech allow disperse communities to communicate, but it can also involve and motivate a younger generation to get involved in a minority language.

This event wasn't even on my radar, sorry to have missed it. Did anyone from PSU attend? Two of the themes align closely with this year's Summer Camp (classrooms & globalization).
