In 2021, Shanghai Jiao Tong University launched the Jiao · Tong Global Virtual Classroom initiative, aiming to establish an online platform that transcends geographical boundaries through the co-development and sharing of course resources with high-level strategic partner universities worldwide. To ensure an immersive learning experience, the initiative was designed at the technical level, where video conferencing software systems were employed to achieve a seamless integration of online and offline environments. This setup allows teachers and remote students to interact as if they were in the same classroom. On-site participants can clearly see remote inquirers displayed on the screen, fostering a cohesive presence that greatly enhances intellectual and cultural exchanges across borders. By the spring semester of 2024, the “course co-development” segment of the initiative had launched over 160 all-English featured courses at undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels in collaboration with more than 50 prestigious universities from 18 countries, including members of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities as well as institutions in Japan, Singapore, the UK, France, Germany, Russia, the US, and Australia.
