Leading students into international virtual exchange

Virtual exchange and blended mobility allow international educational formats which have been impossible or inefficient with only physical mobility, e.g. concepts with several short interactions or with high numbers of students. Within the DAAD programme “international mobility and cooperation – digital (IMKD)” universities implemented and evaluated such new virtual or blended formats. The panel will discuss examples and best practices.
