Using the MyVirtualMission (www.myvirtualmission.com/) platform, participants will exercise (walk, run, swim, cycle, etc.) and log their distances into the dedicated mission page. Progress along the Tōkaidō will be updated as miles are posted, and users will be able view their location on Google Maps as well as Google Street View. At each of 10 stations, participants will complete readings, view videos, and respond to forum prompts on the FCCEAS Moodle (moodle.fivecolleges.edu). Optional materials for seven additional stations will be available for further exploration.
Participants who successfully complete the seminar requirements will receive a certificate of completion for 30 contact hours and a one-year subscription to Education about Asia (beginning fall 2021).
