Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL)
Welcome to our Collaborative Online International Learning website. Here, we explore innovative approaches to global education by connecting students and faculty across the borders.
Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), a type of virtual exchange or telecollaboration, is a learning process where faculty members in any discipline use online technology to facilitate sustained student collaboration to increase intercultural competence. Traditionally, COIL has taken place across national boundaries, but this process is ideal for bringing together any intercultural pairings where in-person contact is not practical.
