Abstract
This chapter makes a case for the importance of virtual exchange (VE) and collaborative, online, international learning (COIL) to develop intercultural and global competencies. The auto-ethnographic reflections and participant observations illustrate a COIL-RBL and VE-PBL study conducted in Australia and Germany. The authors offer lessons learned and provide insights into pandemic teaching that appropriate pedagogical concepts underpinning future competence building. Learning how to foster a sense of community through technological use is vital for transforming the pandemic push into the post-pandemic new norm. Accepting that online collaboration in intercultural settings is demanding creates a sense of urgency to adapt the future design of teaching and learning strategies that embed institutional, professional, and student capacities.
