Themes & Topics

Have you ever considered how students could actively shape the design and decision-making processes of virtual exchanges? In this co-creation session, we’ll crowdsource ideas for student involvement and hold space for networking with potential exchange partners. We encourage you to bring students to the session—their voices are essential to this conversation.

This session gives participants the opportunity to explore ways to involve students in the design and decision-making processes of virtual exchanges. In 60 minutes, participants will engage in guided discussions in small groups to examine how instructors can integrate student voices while maintaining alignment with course outcomes across partners from different institutions. Participants will leave with ideas and potential partners for future virtual exchanges.

We encourage participants to bring students to the session—their voices are essential to this conversation. Those interested in continuing the conversation after the session are invited to contribute their ideas, resources, and partnership interests to our shared collaborative document.
