Standards for Online Teaching and Learning

CAPA recognizes that online learning is a robust and flexible educational tool that can enhance global education. CAPA is deeply committed to the benefits of student mobility and does not see online provision as a replacement for physical mobility, but as a pedagogy that can be harnessed to teaching and learning liberated from geographical restraints. Mobility of mind is at the heart of this academic agenda.

Academic Integrity

Grounded in principles of rigor and integrity, and developed and implemented in strict adherence to the Forum on Education Abroad’s Standards of Good Practice, our academic programs are intentionally designed to encourage students’ critical analysis of the urban context in which they are living and studying. A consistent, transparent, ongoing system of evaluation and assessment—both internal and external—assures the quality of the academic programs we deliver.
