COIL Seminar: Developing Culturally Inclusive Pedagogy through International Virtual Exchange
Are you interested in creating opportunities for your students to interact virtually with students overseas? Do you want to deepen your students’ cross-cultural skills and global outlook?
The Office of the Provost at Queens College is pleased to announce the 2024-2025 Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Faculty Fellowships.
In keeping with the international goals of Queens College and working closely with the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning and Leadership (CETLL), the seminar will introduce participants to COIL pedagogy and provide faculty support in the development of COIL into their courses.
During three 1.5-hour online seminar sessions in Fall 2024 (Fridays from 9:00 to 10:30 am on 10/18, 11/15, and 12/13), the participants will be guided to develop content for their COIL units in accordance with their course learning outcomes, select relevant technology platforms, develop assessment tools, and supported to implement their COIL project in Spring 2024. At the end of Spring 2024, COIL faculty and students will participate in COIL Faculty & Student Showcase.
The aim of the COIL Faculty Fellowships is to offer selected faculty the opportunity to learn about Collaborative Online International Learning, develop strategies for incorporating COIL into their courses, advance research with international colleagues, and expand QC’s global presence.
Adding a COIL component to your course offers your students an opportunity to interact globally through virtual exchange without additional costs associated with physical mobility. While the COIL component takes place solely online, your course may be face-to-face, hybrid, or fully online. Courses may be existing courses or new courses.
View materials from our information session on Friday, September 13 (CUNY login required).
