Type: Mobility

Third webinar of the “Virtual Exchange and Blended Mobility in university education” online workshops.

Arqus is launching a new series of online workshops, “Virtual Exchange and Blended Mobility in University Education,” aimed at helping educators create collaborative, international learning experiences for students. The workshops will take place online from 27 November to 11 December 2024. 

This programme is open to educators in all fields, including STEM, Humanities, and Social Sciences. The series runs over three weeks and includes live online sessions with additional reading activities. It introduces two key teaching tools: Virtual Exchange (VE), which helps students work on intercultural projects online with international partners, and Blended Mobility, which combines in-person exchange with online collaboration. These workshops will help educators gain the skills to guide students in intercultural, collaborative projects, adding a global dimension to their courses.

In this workshop, participants will explore how to assess student work in VE and Blended Mobility, how to integrate these projects into their courses, and how to build partnerships within their university networks.
