Whether you've been a facilitator of intercultural learning, global learning, and/or DEI content for a long time or a short time, there is always something to be learned from our peers. But there isn't always time or money for a workshop or conference. 

The HubICL's PDZ is designed as a place for mentors to get some mentoring without having to travel or ask for funds. Offered on a variety of topics, several of the PDZ's self-learning modules were actually first presented as for-fee sessions at various conferences.

HubICL PDZ Basics

The PDZ makes professional development (PD) opportunities searchable by theme, level, audience, depth, breadth, cost, and prerequisites. And, when attendance is taken at events and shared in the HubICL, participants can see their completion of various learning opportunities show up in their HubICL profile.

PDZ Involvement

Promoting your own events in the PDZ

If you have an upcoming workshop or conference event that you would like publicized in the HubICL's PDZ, please send a link for the event, along with a biography of the speaker(s) and a photo of each instructor to cilmar@purdue.edu with HubICL PDZ in the subject line. We'll create a placeholder in the PDZ and then ask you to fill in the rest of the information, especially your learning outcomes and learning plan. We ask that you only promote activities in the HubICL for which you are willing to share your completion records, so we can list your conference or workshop in the HubICL members' profile.

Creating your own self-learning module(s) in the PDZ

CILMAR is also interested in including self-learning modules in the PDZ that our users have created and are willing to share with others. This is a good use for past presentations. Dig out those PowerPoints, add a voice over and don't forget to add some materials (such as your hand-outs) to provide opportuntities for adult learners to interact with the material. We currently use the Course template in the HubICL for creating the HubICL PDZ modules. Please see the links to PDZ modules created by CILMAR staff in the list above to gain ideas for creating your own PDZ modules.

When you are ready to begin creating your own self-learning modules, please send an email with HubICL PDZ in the subject line to cilmar@purdue.edu.

An added benefit

Contributors to the HubICL's PDZ receive the added benefit of having their conference, workshop, or module promoted through CILMAR's social media channels.

A big thank you!
