GLUE is a curriculum developed by the teaching and learning specialists at Purdue University's CILMAR: Center for Intercultural Learning, Mentorship, Assessment and Research in order to provide content and mentorship to Purdue students as they engage across cultural difference--on study abroad, in international research teams and virtual exchanges, and here on our highly internationalized campus. GLUE features experiential learning, dialogue and reflection built on a solid theoretical basis. The learning outcomes for the courses are below.
Through this course, learners will be able to:
Identify more about themselves as cultural beings.
Unravel their own biases.
Consider new or more nuanced perspectives.
Form better connections with peers and communities.
Build a more inclusive and just world together with others.
GLUE Content
The GLUE curriculum was created through backward design and content mapping processes by a team of intercultural and global learning experts at Purdue University from CILMAR, Study Abroad, the Center for Instructional Excellence, and various STEM colleges. Version options include a "one-credit" course with 15 contact hours and a "three-credit" course with 45 contact hours. Both versions are a combination of asynchronous self-directed modules and live sessions with peers and a mentor, organized into 8 units. GLUE is copyrighted, licensed, and will soon be distributed by the Purdue Research Foundation.
Annual institutional licensing will soon be available
The GLUE curriculum will soon be available to those not affiliated with the Purdue University West Lafayette or Indianapolis campuses through cost-effective and scalable institutional licensing, which allows our partners to use the curriculum with an unlimited number of learners for one annual fee.
With its easy-to-adapt modular organization and capacity for co-branding, GLUE is a turn-key solution for intercultural development without the hassle and cost of per-administration purchasing.
As a land grant institution, Purdue is invested in providing accessible high quality learning resources. Pricing for GLUE will be based on a cost recovery model, designed simply to pay for CILMAR's labor in creating the curriculum.
