Abstract
Virtual exchanges are an emerging form of learning in which students from different countries are connected via technology. The authors created a virtual exchange, Business & Culture, to connect students at institutions in the USA, Egypt, Lebanon, and Libya. The focus of the Business & Culture virtual exchange was on teaching cultural competence, a key skill in today's increasingly globalized workplace. In this chapter, they explore the design and implementation of Business & Culture. They enumerate the challenges of incorporating the needs and resources of four different institutions. They discuss the benefits of the Business & Cultural virtual exchange to both students and instructors. And they outline the evaluation of the Business & Cultural virtual exchange, which allowed them to both gauge its effectiveness and improve its design and implementation.
