The International Center at Gordon Academic College of Education had the privilege of participating in the International Virtual Exchange Conference (IVEC) 2025, the leading global gathering dedicated to Virtual Exchange (VE) and Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL).
In today’s higher education landscape, VE and COIL are far more than digital tools, they are powerful bridges connecting students and educators across borders, cultures, and perspectives. These innovative pedagogies foster intercultural dialogue, empathy, and global competence, empowering learners to collaborate meaningfully on real-world challenges.
Gordon College was proudly represented by:
Dr. Eli Vinokur, Vice President for Strategy and Head of the International Center;
Mr. Igal Shines, Vice President for Finance; and
Ms. Shadia Sbait, International Projects Manager.
At Gordon College, we remain deeply committed to inclusive, technology-driven, and human-centered international education and IVEC 2025 was a powerful reminder of why this mission matters more than ever.
