The COIL Elements workshop explores what makes a compelling Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) collaboration, including activities that interest and motivate students. Participants take part in activities mimicking a COIL collaboration, such as working together online and in international teams. Faculty explore technology choices that facilitate active learning and learn how to prepare students to meet, trust, and work with peers in another country online. Participants receive certificates of completion. SUNY COIL Center also offers customized workshops and consortium opportunities.
