Global Learning through Online Virtual Exchange:
Transforming Teaching and Training through Immersive International Education Experiences

This program aims to create a sustained collaborative, intercultural partnership that takes an experiential, virtual-learning approach to exploring the inter-connectedness of college and career readiness, with a focus on innovation in teaching, training, and intercultural exchange. The partnership is grounded in improving technological literacy, global awareness, and intercultural competence among students from populations typically underrepresented in traditional international exchanges.
