Historical precedentsHistorical Precedents
Cooperating instructors work closely with all students, but in most cases these students areenrolled, charged tuition, and awarded grades only at their home institution.
Classes may be fully online or, more often, offered in blended formats with traditional face-to-face sessions taking place at both schools, while collaborative student work takes place online.

Letters of Agreement
Issues of Language○ Speakers who share the same L1
○ e.g. US-Australia
○ Courses where one group is L1, the other L2○ Language Learning Courses
○ L1 and L2 both spoken/written in class
○ When EFL / ESL is a desired outcome
○ Courses where a lingua franca is used○ e.g. English as a lingua franca for exchanges between students
in Mexico, Russia and the US
○ e.g. a course on Human Rights between US/Lebanon

Project Goal: Create awareness of global marketing and online promotion of global societal issues
Mindy Kole’s COIL
SUNY Empire State College’s Online Lebanon Residency Program (LRP)
Collaborative ProjectWhat they did:
• Teams: 4 Lebanese & 4 US • Goal: Promote social
awareness of designated humanitarian issue
• Time: 8 weeks long
How they did it: • Closed Facebook group• Team Skype meetings• Synchronous Zoom meeting-
midway
Lessons learned: New perspective of their own culture Talking frankly between their groups and beyond the project, the students were changed by the experience, gaining a new perspective of their own culture.
Comparing/contrasting how their own society views certain social issues with each other
Lebanon: progressive, modern, fun country or not? Marriage rights: Lebanon vs. USAWomen’s rights: Lebanon vs. USA
Comparing/contrasting media images of two societies vs. course social media images

Creating a cross-cultural media project worthy of publication
• Persepolis. I loved the story, and I thought it was clever to use a graphic novel to surpass any language barriers between the two groups.
American students really have explicit freedom of speech!!!!!!!! And due to this course we had an opportunity to appreciate it and express our ideas and then discussed them!!! Wonderful!!!!!!!!
It seems that US media is a little more democratic than Belarusian. But it was interesting to know that sometimes the Americans didn't trust the news as well as Belarusian people. I think I got good information about US media in this project.
What’s in it for our Students ? COIL advantage = Professional Development + Intercultural competency < $$$
COIL Collaboration = International Experience = Employment
Developing Cohorts = Student Retention
Virtual Travel > Travel = Opportunities
PART THREE
SWOT
Open Discussion
Q&A
SWOTStrengths Weaknesses
Opportunities Threats
SHU: Faculty awareness and experience with online learning and digital technologies
UWB: Entrepreneurial campus culture
KU: Institutional Support to Promote
SHU: Limited awareness of COIL
UWB: No permanent funding or staffing for COIL
KU: No In-house Instructional Designers (to promote them in 2015-2017)
SHU: Connect faculty to SHU partners/peers abroad; enhance intercultural experienceUWB: High population of non-traditional students, unlikely to study abroad -> COIL is an alternative to gain int’l experience, increase retention. KU: Internationalization Initiatives 2015-2025 has expansion of partner universities which are highly interested in COILing with KU
SHU: Attentional expenditure of energy when teaching online
UWB: Lack of understanding of where COIL initiative can fit in institutionally
KU: traditional methods for course curriculum development

Time for Discussion
For more Information
Common types of international eLearning activities
65
• Active international exchange program unrelated to eLearning• eLearning offered to local military forces deployed overseas• Active international exchange program offered in full or in part
through eLearning activities• Distance programs work with international partner(s) to provide
eLearning to international students• Distance programs work independently to provide eLearning to
international students
66
Where to start:• Identify existing partnerships in which you or the
distance learning program at your college are involved related to international education
• Identify specific geographic locations where you or the distance learning program at your college are working or have an interest in doing so.
• Consider what you would like for your college to gain from the international experience

Collaborative Online International Learning is not a technology or a technology platform, but is a new teaching and learning paradigm that develops intercultural awareness and competence across shared multi-cultural online learning environments.
The COIL model aims to create equitable and balanced team-taught learning environments where teachers from two cultures work together to develop a shared syllabus. The courses give new contextual meaning to the ideas and texts they explore.
