- Abstract
The book review discusses "Internationalising Higher Education and the Role of Virtual Exchange" by Robert O'Dowd, which explores the concept of virtual exchange (VE) and its application in different contexts. The book covers various topics, including defining terms, the role of VE in internationalization, instructional approaches, and the future of VE. It also discusses the concept of blended mobility, which combines virtual exchange with physical mobility. The author argues that while VE has its benefits, short-term physical mobility and extended study abroad experiences offer richer learning experiences. The text emphasizes the importance of academic recognition for all students involved in blended programs and suggests addressing technological access and language barriers in VE programs, as well as promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
