The book also provides insights into virtual exchange models like Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) and Globally Networked Learning (GNL), demonstrating their effectiveness in fostering career skills and global readiness. This book is an essential resource for educators, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners committed to advancing global engagement. It equips readers to better understand and shape the future of the internationalization of higher education in an interconnected world.
