Description
An innovative collaboration at Northern Essex Community College is allowing students to experience the benefits of a foreign exchange program, without leaving home.
NECC Director of Instructional Technology and Online Education Melba Acevedo talks about how this virtual exchange is providing opportunities for all students, many of whom would never get the chance to study abroad.
She shares how the partnership with two French universities came about and how the virtual exchange is woven into classes at NECC.
