CJC’s virtual exchange (VE) programs allow CJC students to collaborate with students from universities internationally as part of their courses. Check out some of the exciting virtual exchange projects offered by the College.
Colleen McEdwards, a faculty member in UF CJC Online, and Juan-Pablo Osman, a faculty member from Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Colombia, both offered courses on video storytelling at their respective institutions. Osman focused on fictional storytelling techniques in film and McEdwards on non-fiction in journalism or public relations.
In this project, CJC students in a class on global perspectives of communicating soccer taught by Eric Esterline and Roxane Coche partnered with a class focused on career development from the University of Brighton taught by Professor Owen Evans. Students discussed and compared how soccer is reported in each country.
