Online Global Learning
We invite you to engage with Online Global Learning (OGL), where international borders are interrogated and collaboration thrives as students connect from across the world in a dynamic online environment. Our approach is deeply rooted in transformative learning theory, which emphasizes critical reflection, relationship building, and perspective change(s) to encourage learning for impact. Each OGL program is customized guided by specific learning outcomes and can include a broad range of curricular or co-curricular global learning experiences that happen partially or completely online. Think live virtual classrooms, collaborative projects, conversations with industry experts, interactive, transnational peer-to-peer dialogues and more. By designing these programs with a base in Africa, we aim to foster a world of experiential learning where students actively engage with knowledge-sharing, develop intercultural understanding, and exchange their diverse perspectives. Online Global Learning involves:
- Sustained discussion, collaboration, and exchange
- Exploration and active participation
- Structured facilitation
- Project-based learning, service learning and/or community engagement (depending on the nature and length of the program)
- Reflection
Virtual Internships
In today's evolving job market, the rise of hybrid work has highlighted the need for flexible work modes and global competencies. Companies are increasingly hiring based on essential skill sets (such as communication, work ethic, and technological proficiency) that are developed through experiential learning and internship experience. EDU Africa's virtual internships in Africa provides the unique opportunity to work on group consulting projects with organizations in Africa, providing practical experience that builds both personal skills and global competencies.
EDU Africa’s virtual internships promote diverse perspectives, foster critical inquiry, and encourage reflective thinking to better equip students with a dynamic and adaptable mindset for their future careers. Through a cohort-based approach, which includes the participation of African students, students gain firsthand experience in cross-cultural teamwork, professionalism, and the use of online technology on a global scale. EDU Africa’s culture of care and stewardship ensures robust support from an Internship Facilitator and Career Coach throughout the program.
Group sessions hosted across the internship aims to develop key skills, including:
- Intercultural learning
- Teamwork and collaboration
- Tolerance for ambiguity
- Problem solving
- Communication skills
- Professional competencies online
