Virtual Exchange
Virtual Exchange is not a substitute for study abroad, but a robust and potentially revolutionary model for transforming the way we approach not only international education programs, but classroom instruction in general. Delivered online and facilitated by a trained program team, this platform offers a framework for meaningful transnational and intercultural experiences and collaboration. Most importantly, it enables us to continue to foster global collaboration and connectivity between Africans and the world.
Our "Co-investigation Clusters" are set, short-term, high-impact engagement sessions that promote the process of co-investigative learning. There is a two-fold 'cluster' focus at play: "clustering" around the particular theme or topical issue; as well as structural clustering within the sessions themselves, where co-investigative, inquiry-based small group activities are employed to maximise learning and engagement.Co-investigation Clusters
