Full Session Description (as long as you would like): 

Few decades back, the concept of global knowledge sharing was scarce and knowledge was found within the boundary lines of the countries. However, with the introduction of computer and internet, the things changed rapidly. The use of technology in educational purposes helped to eliminate the knowledge barriers among countries. In modern age, a concept of 'education for all' was developed and the knowledge became truly a globalized approach. However, to make this concept a practical one, still there are various obstacles, which are needed to overcome. One of those hurdles is the course development for students. The connection between an educator and classroom is linked through the textbook or course material being used in class. In order to develop the global competency within the classroom, the textbook or course material should be able to equip the students with education in a practical way. In this regard, an approach KIP is developed and discussed. This approach would help to know how global competency can be developed within a small classroom and how a small change in class can change global prospects about education.
