COIL
UANDES COIL
Collaborative Online International Learning
Internationalize your classroom
Add value to your online course through the project “Collaborative Online International Learning”COIL is an online collaboration model between professors and students from different parts of the world that allows you to incorporate a valuable cultural exchange in the development of your course.
How can it be implemented?
First it is necessary for the professor to define what he or she is looking for with the collaboration, from this it is possible to start choosing a specific collaboration modality to incorporate in the classes.
There are three different COIL modalities:
GUEST SPEAKER
An international professor or professional is incorporated as a guest in one or more classes of the UANDES subject.
JOIN PROYECT
The UANDES professor together with an international peer develops a work plan, task or specific project to be addressed by students in the UANDES subject.
CO- TEACHING
The UANDES professor designs a module or UANDES subject together with an international peer, so that both have active participation in it.
How is the foreign contact generated?
There are two possible ways to establish communication with foreign universities and professors:
CONTACT INITIATED BY THE PROFESSOR:
The UANDES professor can communicate directly with foreign universities or peers through existing relationships or contacts previously established by the professor.
CONTACT INITIATED BY IR:
The International Relations Department can actively search for foreign contacts and collaboration channels of interest to the professor.
Both channels of communication require the professor to contact the International Relations Department to inform them of his or her interest and to allow the registration of the COIL collaboration.
