Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Training Program
Through the Central Asia University Partnerships Program (UniCEN), administered by American Councils for International Education and funded by the U.S. State Department, a selected cohort of twenty U.S. and Central Asian teaching faculty engaged in a four-week professional development and capacity development course to learn, understand, and design a virtual exchange through COIL. Dr. Andrea Thomas, a leading expert in virtual exchange delivered an online training program from January 10 to February 4. Teaching faculty from Central Asia were matched with their U.S. partners to develop multi-disciplinary courses across subject areas that jointly address United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs): clean water and sanitation; affordable and clean energy; decent work and economic growth; responsible consumption and production; and climate action.
The COIL Program generated professional development capacity for U.S. and Central Asian faculty and provided students with intercultural engagement opportunities within an integrated curriculum co-facilitated by faculty partners. Faculty participants from universities in Central Asia and the United States were trained in how to facilitate international peer to peer learning opportunities using the COIL method. This method enabled each faculty pair to collaborate and conduct joint teaching for part of their course semesters, through videoconferencing or other online collaboration tools. The COIL model brought U.S. and Central Asian professors from different cultures together to develop a shared project for their students, emphasizing experiential and collaborative student learning. These collaborations ranged from 5-12 weeks and provided students with new context for curricular materials, while also encouraging the development of cross-cultural awareness.
