In this online course, organised in a cooperation between Aarhus
University, Denmark, King's College London and Ruhr University Bochum, you will familiarize with Virtual Exchange
as a pedagogical activity for engaging students in authentic
intercultural collaborative projects with international partners.
Virtual Exchange means the engagement of students in online intercultural
interaction and collaboration with students from other cultural contexts
as an integrated part of their course work under the guidance of their
educators. The teachers are planning a Virtual Exchange in a teaching
cooperation.
The purpose is to practice how to co-plan and teach
with elements of Virtual Exchange. Especially the transfer of the
concept into the disciplinary teaching conventions, the integration into
the syllabus of the course, the construction of tasks and the support
and mentoring of the students during a Virtual Exchange is focused
during the course. You will meet teachers from different universities
all over Europe in this training.
Attendance in all four synchronous meetings is required. You will receive a zoom link via e-mail approx. one week before the first meeting.
Registration will be closed when 50 participants are reached. If you register less that one week before the event, please send an e-mail.
