This is a good article in yesterday's University Affairs magazine. It is written by the director of Canadian Virtual University, a consortium of 12 Canadian universities. The reference to the project in Haiti is particularly intriguing.
Redefining international education for the digital age
"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.

Hi Steve,
Just found your blog through LinkedIn and so enjoyed reading the various educational projects that you're involved in around the world. We are still serving in Honduras and looking forward to visiting Redeemer next week and having our first group of Redeemer B.Eds. come for 3 weeks in April! Would love to connect with the WLU Faculty of Ed and share about our teaching/placement opportunities. If you can email me a contact there to point me in the right direction, that would be great - esther@ceehonduras.org Look forward to connecting again!
