Inside FDU on the Web — February 2004



Global Education Web Site Revamped

Fairleigh Dickinson University’s global education Web site (http://globaleducation.edu) has been redesigned from top to bottom and enhanced with new features and information about the many international programs and offerings available.

“Since global education is our mission, we felt it was important to further upgrade the pages, update the content and offer viewers a new, attractive and more user-friendly site,” said Michael Sperling, associate provost, interdisciplinary, distributed and global learning (Metro/Flor). He added that the previous site had been in use for more than two years.

The new site went live this month and includes new sections on Student Opportunities and Faculty and Curriculum, to go along with updated sections on Global Education, Global Virtual Faculty™ (GVF), Online Learning and the United Nations Pathways.

Among other things, faculty and staff can nominate new GVF members, learn about upcoming U.N. lectures, reserve seats for their classes to attend U.N. events or sample the Global Challenge online course. Students can learn about the many global programs and international grant opportunities.

The reconstruction of the site was undertaken by the Office of Global Learning over the last six months in conjunction with the Office of Global Partnerships, the Wroxton Study Abroad Office and William Kennedy, director, Web operations.
