COIL – or Collaborative Online International Learning – provides students with project-based, co-facilitated intercultural experiences by faculty or staff at two or more partner institutions in different parts of the world. COIL initiatives can be embedded into any academic discipline, and proposals are now being accepted for the 2021-2022 academic year and beyond. 

This workshop will guide you through an introduction to COIL – its purpose, benefits, structure, and how to get started at Humber. Full-time faculty and staff interested in global learning and engagement are invited to attend!

The workshop will be delivered over Microsoft Teams and a link will be emailed to all registrants prior to the session.
