The Reflection Video: Students Assess their Virtual Exchange Experiences
As a professor at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, I have been a collaborator on virtual exchanges with Abertay University in Dundee, Scotland, and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.  These virtual exchanges, termed Global Learning Experience (GLE) at DePaul, focused on sound design and music collaborations.  The final assignment of the project asked each student to record short reflection videos on their experiences during the GLE.  These videos were recorded using a webcam or cellphone.  The deliverable was not meant to be a highly edited and polished video but a document that reflected the positive and negative elements of the collaboration.
