Submitted by: Phillip Bailey, phillipb@uca.edu on 11/06/2024

The Center for Global Learning and Engagement (CGLE) is pleased to invite UCA faculty to attend an introduction to Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) information session as part of our celebration of International Education Week.

What is COIL?
“COIL Collaborations are developed by partnering professors from different institutions who want to enrich their courses with student interaction and collaborative learning. Professors work together to design and implement the COIL Collaboration, allowing COIL to be customized to meet the needs of any class, in any discipline. It takes planning and careful attention to design to have a successful COIL Collaboration that benefits students, professors and institutions.

Sign up by Nov 11 for the COIL session here https://forms.gle/cgvFp6niR98BRGwY9
