Collaborative International Virtual Exchange, or CIVE, is a virtual teaching and learning model that facilitates interaction between UC San Diego students and academics with teachers and students from around the world. These projects are an accessible pathway for internationalizing course curricula and enhance global learning competencies through teamwork and intercultural communication.
International studies show that online international collaborations like CIVE have a relevant impact on the personal and academic development of participants and that it is valued by various stakeholders, including faculty, students and employers. In addition, the involvement in CIVE projects enables teachers to: establish or strengthen international teaching and research partnerships, integrate innovative and challenging practices into their courses, convey an international dimension to learning, collaborate with peers, increase class dynamism, and improve student interest and satisfaction rates.
If you are interested in creating a CIVE program or component in your coursework, please contact Elizabeth Langridge-Noti for an initial meeting and assessment.
