The Asia Pacific Virtual Exchange Association (APVEA) has been working to bring the students and teachers of this region together through virtual exchange. Virtual Exchange (VE) is where students from different cultures engage with each other online, under the guidance of their teachers, thus being able to collaborate, learn from each other and gain intercultural understanding. The benefits are many and varied as is shown in the many hundreds of journal articles, book chapters and books that can be seen in the APVEA bibligraphy on VE. APVEA promotes the International Virtual Exchange Project (IVEProject) as one way to ensure your students can participate in VE but knows there are many others around the world. APVEA looks forward to helping teachers and researchers develop their VE practice. The APVEA bibliography is one way it does that.
Wonderful to see The Stevens Initiative's 2024 Survey of the Virtual Exchange Field Report out. There is a lot of data there and some encouraging findings on the health of VE. Take a look here:

Also, sincere apologies to those affected but due to a complete rebuild of the site, many accounts were lost. You may have to create a new account. If your email does not have ".edu edu .ac ac gmail.com hotmail.com outlook .de de yahoo.com .au au" in it, please email apveachair@gmail.com before making your account as you won't be able to otherwise.
