The Office of Global Affairs is excited to announce that 10 faculty members have been selected as 2025 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Fellows!
COIL is a virtual exchange pedagogy that fosters global competence through development of a multicultural learning environment, linking university classes in different countries. Using both synchronous and asynchronous technologies, students from different countries complete shared assignments and projects, with instructors from each country co-teaching and managing coursework. COIL is an innovative way to traverse boundaries and make the “classroom learning� experience globally connected.
Since 2014, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ COIL Fellows program has been supporting faculty in developing and implementing COIL modules in their courses with structured training, a community of practice and a stipend. Building on several years of collaboration between the and campuses, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ COIL Fellows is now a tri-campus program.
The program will span two years:
- Winter 2025-Spring 2025 will focus on course development
- Summer 2025-Summer 2026 and beyond will focus on implementation
