Knowledge, Learning, Community

This article combines the concept of Open Education (OE) with something new, Virtual Mobility (VM), defined as "a set of ICT supported activities, organized at institutional level, that realize or facilitate international, collaborative experiences in a context of teaching and/or learning." That gives us Open Virtual Mobility (OVM). The discussion of OVM is this article's main contribution, though there is also a 'research' component consisting of "group concept mapping (GCM)" which "supports knowledge construction through collecting and organising ideas of individuals so that a collective visual geography of a concept can be created to be further analysed." The quantitative results are meaningless, but the resulting discussion provides a good overview of the benefits of OVM, which is a worthwhile result.
