Book Description: Mind the Gap: Global Learning at Home and Abroad in Higher Education Authors: [List the authors' names and their affiliations] Publisher: [Insert the publisher's name and date of publication] Pages: [Insert the number of pages] Format: Paperback/e-book Summary: In this thoughtprovoking book, the authors explore the concept of global learning in higher education, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to understanding the process of technological evolution and its impact on humanity. They argue that developing a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of modern knowledge development is crucial for survival and the unification of people in a warring state. The book examines the various forms of global learning, including study abroad programs, undergraduate research, and service or communitybased learning, and how they can be integrated into the curriculum to provide students with a more comprehensive educational experience. The authors highlight the importance of bridging disciplinary and administrative silos within academia to facilitate the integration of off and oncampus learning, and the need for a new holistic assessment of global learning that considers both student learning and faculty experiences.
