'Vui Như Tết' Project

A Virtual Exchange for Lunar New Year

Despite facing challenges that limited our in-person events, we successfully executed a virtual exchange program, Vui Như Tết, to celebrate Lunar New Year 2024. Students from five prestigious institutions, including Arizona State University, Columbia University, University of California San Diego, University of North Carolina, and University of Michigan, participated in this enriching experience.

Leveraging the knowledge gained from our Open Educational Resources (OER) modules on Family, Holidays, and Entertainment, students created engaging videos featuring New Year wishes on FlipGrid. These videos were then shared among all participating universities, fostering meaningful interactions through comments, compliments, and voting.

The project's ultimate goal was to create a sense of community and provide a valuable learning experience. By receiving abundant wishes and positive feedback from their virtual peers, students engaged with the project in a genuine and interactive manner. The collected videos were compiled into a comprehensive New Year wishes video, showcasing the project's impact and the students' creativity.
