Collaborative Online International Learning
Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) uses digital technology and the Internet to connect faculty and students internationally and interculturally. Faculty work together to create a common set of assignments, and students cooperate to exchange ideas, solve problems, and share their unique cultural viewpoints. COIL is part of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s “Global Learning for All” initiative, which is directly tied to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s 2019-2024 Strategic Plan.
The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ COIL Fellows Program recognizes faculty who collaborate with colleagues around the world to create engaging and meaningful intercultural classroom experiences for their students.
