THE PROJECT

The VM-BASE project (Virtual Mobility Before and After Student Exchanges) wants to raise the quality of student exchanges by offering virtual support, both before and after the physical mobility. Virtual support is used to prepare and follow-up the mobile student, as a complement to the existing exchange programmes. The project thereby supports teachers in coaching exchange students at a distance (e-coaching).
The project starts from a study giving an overview of the state-of-the-art in virtual exchange support measures and a needs analysis, making an inventory of student and teacher needs. The major activity of the project consists of several pilots focusing on the orientation and selection of students, preliminary courses for students preparing for a physical exchange and examination facilities at the end or even after the exchange. Next to the pilots the need and feasibility of a Virtual Alumni Association for Erasmus students is being investigated.
All project results will be collected in a manual with concrete guidelines, validated procedures and recommendations for blended mobility activities and a manual on good practices in e-coaching.
