VM curriculum designing

Training material development on VM curriculum designing was lead by VMU and KUL with the involvement of other partners. E-learning centres' staff or other staff members from consortium institutions worked collaboratively online to develop training material with practical assignments and templates, as well as video or audio explanations on how to design VM curriculum and what are peculiarities in such process.

1.1. Virtual mobility implementation scenarios

Teacher virtual mobility (TVM)

  1. TVM should be implemented between/among collaborating institutions on the basis of mutual confidence relationships.
  2. International (bilateral or multilateral) institutional agreements are signed for TVM implementation, following commonly agreed and accepted application forms for TVMexchange and documents certifying virtual teaching and exchange by the hosting institution.
  3. If TVM is implemented on the basis of bilateral agreement:
    1. teachers from both institutions might organize learning on the basis of a mutually designed curriculum (based on the agreement of exchanging classes virtually either at one or both institutions)
    2. the teacher from one institution might have a virtual visit to the hosting institution and organize learning within a pre-agreed study program/study subject for a shorter or longer period of time (as in an Erasmus mobility case, but without the need to travel).
  4. If TVM is implemented on the basis of a multilateral agreement, multilateral international group of teachers should organize learning on the basis of mutually designed curriculum (further steps are described in curriculum designing part of this handbook). Multilateral virtual exchange of teachers should ensure TVM recognition by certifying documents from all participating institutions.
  5. Teachers can apply for a shorter or a longer virtual exchange at the hosting institution (which should be indicated in the application) independent of prior/ future physical visits to the same or different institution.
  6. International relation offices receive teacher applications for TVM and involve study departments to host visiting teachers.
  7. Teachers at the hosting institution are assigned for VM exchange on the basis of internal institutional regulations and curriculum offer.
  8. International TVM can be implemented with students from one or more institutions collaborating in VM. Students can be physically placed in one or several geographical areas and institutions, participating in virtual exchange.
  9. The hosting institution should ensure equal access to TVM for both the hosting institution student groups and others participating virtually in VM exchange via a pre-arranged ICT infrastructure.
  10. In case of TVM, SVM can happen, but it is not a mandatory condition for TVM, and it largely depends upon the curriculum designed for VM.
