COIL

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL)

For Faculty

The SUNY COIL Center offers online workshops to get you prepared to embed COIL
into your classes, and offers opportunities for you to find partners around the world.

Faculty members can register their COIL courses in axiom as civic engagement.

Students can receive applied learning credit from a COIL course.

How does COIL Work:

COIL offers students and faculty the chance to engage with peers from around the
world without leaving the country through technology. Students will register for courses
at their home campus. Faculty collaborate with other faculty in a different country to
develop course content that helps expose students to different cultural perspectives.
The syllabi is designed to have students solve a problem or work on a project together
in a globalized community. The collaboration between students can be in real time
through video sessions or through email and online discussion groups. By working with
one another, course content is enriched and it offers an invaluable experience for
students.
