Overview: Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour of WorldKind's new and innovative pre-departure training that is a finalist for GoAbroad’s “Innovative Technology" and “Innovation in Sustainability” awards. In this replay, you'll learn how the Traveler Trainer PROgram (TTP) on our WorldKind Academy platform can save Education Abroad staff time and resources with its pre-built AND yet still customizable modules. 

The TTP is now being used to train over 8,000 students on campuses across the U.S., and you'll hear from staff at Case Western Reserve University and Texas A&M University on our partner panel as they discussed their experiences this year with using the TTP.

Overview: Still wondering what the UN’s “Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs) are and would like a fun and easy introduction to them? Or, are you looking for ways to incorporate the SDGs into your programs, curriculum, or strategic goals?

In this replay, you can learn more about the SDGs and how to use WorldKind’s free trivia tool designed to raise "pub"lic awareness of the SDGs as you spin the wheel along with our star-studded cast of professionals from across the International Education field. Interspersed between the trivia questions, our guests highlight examples of how their organizations are working to promote the SDGs through different programs and initiatives that you can join or potentially replicate at your own institution.

Overview: On June 18, 2024, Dr. Kathleen Burt, WorldKind’s Director of Institutional Research and Client Services, and some of our wonderful partners and experts presented at the 15th Annual Health, Safety, Security and Risk Management Institute hosted by the Forum on Education Abroad.

As WorldKind has developed its pre-departure orientations, we have increased our incorporation of animated scenarios in our modules. In consultation with subject matter experts, on this panel, we have found that we can convey complex information more efficiently through storytelling than through paragraphs of text. In this session, we look at how scenarios keep our students engaged, learning efficiently, and retaining this understanding as they apply it to their personal preparation.  

Panel: Kathleen Burt, Ph.D.; Martin Rosales, M.Ed. (Assistant Director, Global Initiatives, Department of Global Engagement, Texas A&M University); Patty Sagasti Suppes, Ph.D. (Director of Global Engagement, Office of Global Engagement, Stockton University); Sandra Halbruner, DNP (Assistant Teaching Professor, College of Nursing, Penn State University)
