UbiCamp is an Erasmus project that aims to promote virtual student mobility through online courses delivered in English. The consortium developed templates to help institutions set up virtual exchange programs. Institutions would sign Erasmus+ agreements indicating support for virtual mobility and agree to recognize virtual courses based on these agreements. Students would be selected by their home institution but enrolled at the host institution during the semester. Results would then be shared with the home institution for recognition purposes according to the signed agreements. Institutions were invited to identify courses for virtual exchange and sign bilateral agreements by April 10, 2014 to participate in the autumn 2014 semester exchange.
