COIL – Collaborative Online International Learning – is a dynamic form of virtual exchange that connects students with peers around the world. COIL takes the form of an experiential learning project or module co-created through a Humber faculty or staff “match” with a faculty or staff at a partner institution in another region or country.

The resulting collaborative student project or module may be:

• Embed within a pre-existing course at both institutions (ex. as a shared assignment or capstone project);

• Run outside of the classroom in the form of an applied research initiative (ex. supported by Humber’s Centres of Innovation Network or Applied Research and Innovation);

• Designed as a work-integrated learning (WIL) experience overseen by an industry or community partner.
