Springer Handbook of Using Virtual Exchange Across Disciplines: Building Global Citizens from Home (Springer International Handbooks of Education)

This handbook addresses a critical gap in global higher education by showcasing how disciplinary learning is enriched through virtual exchange. As traditional geo-spatial study abroad programs and cross-border partnerships face mounting barriers, this volume offers chapters from scholars across five continents, with 40% from the Global South featuring 40 subject areas organized in 13 thematic sections. This collection of research illustrates how faculty-led subject matter experts, engage learners with content-rich virtual collaborations that foster disciplinary global learning and deepen subject mastery for praxis. Designed for educators, scholars, and academic leaders, this research-driven collection equips institutions to expand access to global learning and cultivate the intercultural, inclusive mindsets required in an interconnected world. The chapters "Advancing Teacher Development through the Lens of the Learning Science Principles and Teacher Actions Framework in a Virtual Exchange between the United States and South Africa", "Learning Justice Across Borders: Virtual Exchange and Disciplinary Learning in Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Law", "Sustainable Systems Leadership in Water Challenges: A Virtual Exchange between students from Morocco and USA", and "Introduction" are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/bync-nd/4.0/).
