Rapid Response Virtual Exchange/COIL Transformation Lab: U.S.–Japan

 

​These difficult times mean we need to find innovative ways to sustain learning and connections throughout our global higher education community. As many colleges and universities face uncertainty about in-person learning and physical mobility, the need for helping all students continue to learn global skills remains certain.

In response to the current global conditions, ACE is working closely with the global higher education virtual exchange community to strategize effective ways to equip institutions with the skills and resources to adapt their physical education or academic exchange programs into quality-assured, high-impact virtual exchange/collaborative online international learning (VE/COIL) programs.

This specific lab works in coordination with Japan.
