More About Perspectives

Perspectives is a research-validated interactive e-learning program that fosters the mindset and skills to communicate and collaborate across differences. The program is used at institutions across the country to foster meaningful dialogue and help learners become better critical thinkers and conflict resolvers and warmer to others who hold different ideological viewpoints.

Perspectives 3.0 features:

• 6 asynchronous online lessons (20 min each)

• Peer-to-peer conversation guides

• Adapts based on learners' responses

• Customizable settings that allow users to "select a track" based on desired outcomes

• A dashboard to track learners' progress and quiz scores

CDI and NASPA hosted an info session about the cohort. You can find the recording here.

*To complete this application, we ask that applicants have a general idea of how they will embed Perspectives on their campus, what segment of their campus population will complete the program, and who will be the main point(s) of contact to steer this effort.

Priority will be given to campuses that plan to deliver the program on a larger scale. However, we encourage any campus to apply so that we can consider alternative routes for partnership through your student affairs-led programming.
