Naomi’s research involves the intercultural learning that takes place within virtual exchanges using open environments or OER.

Topic wise, Naomi Wahls focuses on virtual exchanges and how they can be used in virtual mobility to provide credit for students in other countries and also how open educational resources can be used within virtual exchanges as materials that instructors can utilize. It might be easier to either focus on the virtual mobility side or the use of OER in virtual exchanges as those are generally 2 different audiences.
