About Our Active Learning Platforms

In June 2012, Pat Don, a seasoned K-12 veteran and former Professor of History and Social Science Teacher Education, founded Globalyceum. Her team’s mission was to develop a variety of curricular resources – texts, lectures, problems, composition workshops, assessments, and, eventually, games and research training – that maximized the use of today’s technology.

With affordability and accessibility in mind, the Globalyceum team developed 8 social science teaching platforms that are most appropriate for the range of students in the higher education system today. Since then, Globalyceum has become a highly adaptable platform for one’s own curriculum.
