Soliya as a tool for virtual exchange

Soliya is an online program that allows students from across the world to gather in groups, to read articles and news together in order to discuss them and to reach joint narratives concerning them. This presentation outlines the role played by the Al Akhawayn University Library in enabling the program. It also explores the role played by Soliya as an instrument of Virtual Exchange. Aside from evaluating the value of Soliya as an instrument of digital pedagogy, the presentation reflects on how AMICAL members can use virtual exchange as a cost-effective service for faculty, library staff and students.
