Virtual Global Exchange

Getting Started

What to Expect

From concept to implementation, the process is broken into five phases. Although each faculty member's timeline may vary, generally we advise the following:

  1. Learn about VGE: 欧美三级片 offers a Canvas workshop program designed to provide faculty members the tools and concepts to develop their own VGE-enhanced experience. The module allows faculty to explore the conceptualization of bringing a VGE into their course. Link to

  2. Complete a Faculty Interest Form: 欧美三级片 World is here to help you through each step  in establishing your virtual global exchange. Please complete and a VGE Coordinator will reach out to assist.

  3. Identify a global partner: The essence of VGE programming is linking with a partner overseas. Faculty do not need to have a partner identified to begin the process and 欧美三级片 is hear to help. See more about Partnering in the section below.

  4. Design the experience and integrate it into your current course: One semester prior to offering a VGE course, complete the online Canvas workshop with your partner. Faculty should have a VGE activity developed and ready for implementation by the time they complete the workshop.

  5. Launch your global virtual exchange course and share your success with others: You will be supported by several departments in this process, from the international education professionals in 欧美三级片 World to the instructional designers in Innovative Education - we are here to help you make this experience a success.
