International Co-Teaching - Integrating Virtual Exchange into the University Classroom. An online course for university educators
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.
