Abstract

This chapter focuses on evidence-based practices of virtual exchange in higher education (HE). The chapter opens with a discussion of exchange programs in HEIs. A cursory look at the nature of academic exchange programs reveals the traditional models involving faculty and student mobility programs between universities have been and continue to be the modus operandi of many higher education institutions (HEI). The discussion revolves around the application of this traditional approach and the benefits that have accrued. Later sections of the chapter shift the discussion to emerging models and discusses virtual exchange as the new paradigm in global academic exchanges. Various models of virtual exchange programs are discussed with a view of documenting evidence-based global practices. The chapter concludes with change and policy recommendations and suggestions for further reading.
