Abstract
A globally networked teaching and learning paradigm, virtual exchange promotes cross-cultural competencies across shared and diverse learning environments. This paper reviews the growing body of scholarly and practice-oriented literature on virtual exchange and its value in higher education. We describe three signature experiences where virtual exchange was used to connect university students and ideas across geographies, and report on the results from South Africa, Morocco and Tunisia across multiple assessment instruments. We conclude with recommendations for designing and implementing virtual exchange projects to create unique and impactful learning opportunities.
