Georgia Tech and six other national institutions have been selected to participate in The Forum on Education Abroad - New York Times in Education Digital Resource Center Pilot Project.
The Forum on Education Abroad and The New York Times in Education are collaborating in the development of an innovative new resource for education abroad. The Education Abroad Digital Resource Center will utilize New York Times news, content, and archives that span 163 years to enhance education abroad learning, before, during and after the education abroad experience.
Participants in the project will share their experiences in applying these materials, which will aid in the development of the Digital Resource Center. The Digital Resource Center is expected to provide a user-friendly interface for faculty, staff and students with customized guidance on how to use The New York Times for education abroad as well as best practice examples of how to apply these resources to advance student learning during pre-departure, on-site and re-entry education abroad programming.
Study abroad program faculty and staff may contact Mary Alice Allen at maryalice.allen@oie.gatech.edu to learn more and gain access.
