The increasing recognition of the limitations of physical mobility programs has led Foreign Language departments to consider online approaches such as Virtual Exchange (VE) and Blended Mobility as alternatives in international education. These online approaches have the potential to promote inclusion and diversity by providing opportunities for student cohorts who are unable to participate in traditional mobility programs. However, there are still challenges and barriers that need to be addressed, related to foreign language competence, digitalization, and structural gaps in educational systems. In this paper, I review the arguments and the evidence for and against the belief that VE can be a force for greater inclusion in international learning, before going on to explore the issue of equity of engagement in VE projects.

虚拟交易所的公平性和包容性问题

人们越来越认识到物理流动项目的局限性，导致外语系考虑将虚拟交换（VE）和混合流动等在线方法作为国际教育的替代方案。这些在线方法有可能为无法参加传统流动计划的学生群体提供机会，从而促进包容性和多样性。然而，仍然存在与外语能力、数字化和教育系统结构性差距有关的挑战和障碍需要解决。在本文中，我回顾了支持和反对 VE 可以成为更大程度地融入国际学习的力量这一观点的论点和证据，然后再继续探讨 VE 项目的公平参与问题。
