COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) is a teaching model that is primarily used for internationalization of teaching and learning experiences. It has been broadly used by instructors who are (i) interested in expanding students’ intercultural and global perspectives (ii) keen on offering inclusive and digitally accessible learning experiences, and (iii) seek innovative teaching and learning experiences through diverse perspectives of knowledges and ways of knowing.
As part of global engagement initiatives, at HÂþ» University, Faculty of Agriculture, instructors have been engaged in virtual exchange of educational programs through multiple ways. One of which is COIL, which was leveraged as a bilateral exchange and corresponding pedagogy, embedded into existing courses across international settings.
In this session, professors from HÂþ» University and MUST, Kenya will share their experiences as they developed, collaborated on and taught COIL courses and will share what worked, what lessons were learned, and how they see COIL in their future projects. Please join us to learn more about their COIL experiences and how that can inspire you for your courses.
Key words: international, intercultural, inclusive, global, collaborative
