Exclusive ISEP Member and Affiliate Benefits
AHEA is pleased to offer the following additional, exclusive benefits to ISEP Members and Affiliates who join our organization.
AHEA+ISEP Academy
The AHEA+ISEP Academy is an exclusive program that provides structured mentoring and best practices provided by Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) and virtual exchange experts. Working within a small cohort of ISEP Academy Fellows, you will be matched with collaborators and mentored through the process of designing a COIL/virtual exchange course using the InspirED platform.
Topics in this 8-week Academy include an overview of the COIL methodology; the virtual exchange course planning process, including what barriers to anticipate and how to overcome them; how to use the InspirED platform to collaborate and develop your course; additional tools and technologies to make your virtual exchange an engaging experience for your students; and an individual review of and feedback on your course syllabus, identified learning outcomes and activities.
Due to limited space, this exclusive benefit requires an application process for the AHEA+ISEP Academy, which is offered in the Spring and Fall terms each year.
Teach Online Courses through BlendED™ LMS
AHEA offers every individual faculty member the opportunity to teach one course per term to an unlimited number of students for free through our BlendED™ LMS. ISEP individual faculty members, however, may teach two courses for free in BlendED, each term, to an unlimited number of students. This provides the perfect opportunity for you to add a virtual cross-cultural component to on-campus courses and enables an institution-neutral ‘third space’ in which to teach your new virtual exchange course globally.
ISEP Digital Badges
Faculty from ISEP institutions will have a digital ISEP badge added to their profile in the InspirED platform. This badge provides a quick visual identification of others within the ISEP community and enables easier networking and collaboration between members.
Additionally, all AHEA+ISEP Academy Fellows will receive a badge confirming completion of program and certification from the Academy.
ISEP Community Forum
Exclusively for faculty and administrators from ISEP institutions, this discussion forum provides a space for ISEP Members and Affiliates to brainstorm virtual collaborative coursework, discuss methodology, share research interests, seek support from ISEP, and participate in research surveys.
