International Virtual Exchange

International Virtual Exchange

Mission and Vision

NECC faculty’s vision of internationalizing curriculum has found a new home! International Virtual Exchange (IVE) has allowed students and faculty to bring the world directly into the classroom. While conserving the integrity of their curriculum, faculty are able to implement high impact practices directly in their classrooms. Students experience 21st century workplace dynamics while collaborating with peers across the world in an interdisciplinary curriculum.
