Collaborative Online International Learning – What’s COIL?
The primary goal of this educational approach is to connect students from different cultural backgrounds and to foster intercultural competence among all participants. If you are interested in new teaching methods – or if think about international collaboration, connecting syllabi or creating new ones jointly – this information event will guide you through the process.
In this information event, we will present the objectives of COIL, by looking at it from a global perspective but also analysing this approach within the context of KreativEU. Good Practice Samples will be discussed, as well as advantages and challenges in general. Furthermore, we will explore ways of applying COIL to your existing courses.
This course in English is already part of the upcoming KreativEU training programme to be offered via the KreativEU Centre for Excellence in Digital Education and AI. More details on the training programme will follow soon.
