The Forum is no longer just concerned with US students going abroad, but rather is involved with student mobility worldwide and that the Standards apply to all. In a post COVID-19 world, physical mobility has grinded to a halt and has only started picking back up in the past year. At first many institutions did not give credit for coursework done abroad online. Thanks to the FORUM's standards which were updated to include virtual learning, a majority of those same institutions that resisted the trend were willing to accept credit from institutions that embraced the FORUM's standard on virtual learning abroad. The Forum is the expert that all (media, governments, international NGOs, education, presidents and kings) turn to regarding student mobility anywhere in the world. The Forum has helped members establish study abroad offerings in diverse and xenophobic locations In addition to qualitative measures... perhaps more critical thought toward quantitative student learning outcomes assessment? My sense is that many organizations need help with this... Could the Forum help? I know there are multiple student learning outcomes assessment tools out there, however, with different methodologies and reasons why they are in use... Not sure if this is helpful! That The Forum's impact is formally recognized by national and international bodies for its contributions to advancing higher education and engaged scholarship. The Forum leads standards on quantitative student learning outcomes Data shows that the EA program have been very successful and because of this, members and the Dept. of Education will match student funds. This new financial management program will begin at the start of their freshman year. They will attend workshops, open a savings account, and will have support with saving for 2 years. At the end of the two years, funds will be matched up to 50%. The Forum has created a manageable assessment plan for members that captures the outcomes -- desired and unintended -- and enables them to identify problems, celebrate achievements, and quantify to other stakeholders what the value of this program has been to their students.
