Virtual Exchange

Connecting students with international partners, including students in other countries, allows for authentic global career readiness. While the value of traveling and studying abroad can be transformative, a minority of students are able to take advantage of this opportunity due to a variety of factors including time and money. Virtual exchange, however, provides an accessible, affordable, and flexible option for delivering global learning. Use the resources below to get started with virtual exchange in your classes!
 

Professional Development Module (Coming Soon!)

The new program, A Future Ready Workforce: Preparing Community College Students for Success in a Global Economy, features short 15-minute online professional development modules for technical faculty at postsecondary institutions. These modules are available for free (log-in required) in partnership with ACTE. Faculty Module 9:  Do It Yourself Global Collaboration, provides faculty with “do it yourself” strategies to make international CTE program connections. Faculty will learn to utilize online resources and technology tools, how to find international partners, create lessons or projects together, and implement an international collaboration.

Tools

  • International Collaboration Map: This tool allows you to map out a plan as you create your own global collaboration. Designed to be used with the module above, however, you can use it on your own as well.
  • Global Competence Self-Assessment: Use this tool to assess your global competence and your mindset before embarking on a collaborative exchange.
