COVID has greatly impacted programs that have integrated international travel, study aboard and community outreach. It has provided educators an opportunity to be innovative in their approach to integrate international and intercultural student experiences and connections. Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is one strategy educators can apply to provide the students the opportunity to gain exposure to intercultural collaboration. Traditionally, only some students could access study and work abroad opportunities. In a COIL project, all students registered in a course can gain this unique integrated experience. This allows students the opportunity to see and experience global learning when there are limitations on study abroad. Accomplishing internationalization at home, this program engages students in a process of exploration and reflection. Join us for a conversation with Aditi on how COIL works, what funding is available at USask, resources to help you get started and where to get help. We will encourage participants to also provide lessons learned with regards to integration of international experiences and collaboration in online learning.
