Description
Grzegorz Zurek, Alina Zurek, and Lyn Holley describe a virtual course on aging that linked students and older adults across continents. Their 2024 paper presents Comparative Global Aging, a hybrid course built by the University of Nebraska at Omaha with two Polish universities. It ran each year from 2018 to 2023 in real time video form.
The course was designed to grow understanding within and between generations, across distance, time zones, and cultures. Custom tools tracked students' independent learning and self improvement, fitted to the course's online format. Feedback came from student reflection pieces and learning journals after each class. The paper reports data from 44 Omaha students and 23 Polish students, and shows how the course was tuned year by year.
