Course Internationalization through Virtual Exchange: Students' Reflections about "Seeing the World through the Lens That Is Soccer"
Coche, Roxane
Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, v76 n4 p412-424 Dec 2021
Virtual exchange (VE) is an emergent but promising trend in course internationalization, which consists of using technology to interact and work with another class located in another city/country to develop digital skills and intercultural competence. After a VE project was implemented in a sports-related communication course, students reflected on their experience in a short paper or a video. This case study is a qualitative analysis of these 17 reflections. Despite some complications, students indicated they learned much about cultural differences and would be keen to repeat the VE experience.
