Internationalize Your Classroom through COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning)
Jon Rubin
COIL is not a technology or a platform, but is rather a new teaching and learning paradigm that develops cross-cultural awareness across shared learning environments. It is a format of internationalization at home that spans the world, utilizing the Internet to connect students and professors with their peers abroad. Initially, teachers from two cultures work together to develop a shared syllabus, leading to experiential and collaborative student engagement and learning. The courses give new contextual meaning to the ideas and texts they explore, while providing students new venues in which to develop their cross-cultural awareness. Classes may be online or more often are offered in blended formats with traditional face-to-face sessions taking place at both institutions, while collaborative student work takes place online. Cooperating teachers work closely with all students, but in most cases these students are enrolled, charged tuition (if there is any), and are awarded grades only at their home institution.
Course One: COIL for Instructors and Professors
This section will explore collaborative methods, strategies and tools which instructors may employ when designing COIL modules or courses. We will introduce the process of working with partners at other universities, aligning learning outcomes, and we will highlight best practices and potential pitfalls to successful COIL course implementation.
Course Two: COIL for Academic Affairs and International Programs Officers
While COIL practice takes place between students in classes led by professors, to successfully establish and sustain COIL requires leadership and support from staff and administrators in the international programs, academic affairs and technology offices of your university. This section will explore how your institution can successfully mount a COIL initiative, discussing the likely role that various campus stakeholders must play. We will also introduce how to connect COIL to study abroad and physical exchange programs, how to create appropriate partnership linkages, And the challenges of scaling the COIL enterprise.
