Using Virtual Exchange to Elevate Learning from an Integrated Set of High Impact Practices

This paper explores the transformative potential of Virtual Exchange (VE) in international business education by analyzing three innovative VE projects implemented at Georgia State University in partnership with institutions in Morocco, Tunisia, and Portugal. These projects integrate High-Impact Practices (HIPs) such as collaborative assignments, diversity/global learning, and experiential case research, fostering cross-cultural competencies and practical skills for students. The study highlights project design, implementation, and outcomes supported by qualitative and quantitative assessment. Recommendations for educators and administrators aim to enhance the scalability and sustainability of VE initiatives, ensuring their long-term impact on global education.
