International virtual exchange is gaining popularity as an innovative approach to providing international experiences to students, particularly considering the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little research has been conducted on this unique teaching approach or how it fits into university comprehensive internationalization plans. In this paper, the authors develop a simple theoretical model to explain the impact of taking international virtual exchange classes on students’ decisions to subsequently study abroad.
