Traveling the worldâfrom a virtual classroom
Virtual travel study courses at La Salle give students a chance to experience different cultures, customs, and landscapes during the pandemic.
A TikTok personality as a guest speaker in a college course about… Ireland? These are, indeed, unprecedented times.
Like many academic institutions during the pandemic, La Salle suspended university-sponsored travel and international learning experiences for the 2020-21 academic year. All the while, La Salle has offered virtual travel study courses and international intellectual exchange programs as an alternative.
The courses allow students to experience different cultures remotely, while giving instructors an opportunity to get creative within their syllabi and areas of experience.
