Virtual Exchange Faculty Showcase:
Connecting Classrooms Around the World
September 18 | 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
UF International Center's Large Conference Room

Learn how to connect your students with faculty and with other students around the world through virtual exchange. Incorporating virtual interactions as a class activity:

  • Builds intercultural awareness, digital literacy, and collaboration skills
  • Exposes all students to global perspectives, including those who cannot afford to study abroad
  • Offers an economical way to bring in content and practicing experts
  • Increases student interest in physical mobility (study abroad)

Attend the Virtual Exchange Faculty Showcase to hear faculty discuss their experiences incorporating these tools as classroom activities in different disciplines and world regions.

The showcase will run as an open fair with concurrent presentations. Lunch will be provided.

This event is organized by the Collaborative International Teaching Network (CITN) with the sponsorship of the Creative Campus and Learning without Borders initiatives.
