COIL for the Core Pilot Program

Collaborative Online International Learning brings together students from different parts of the world to take part in collaborative projects and discussions through the use of technology. The Office of International Programs, in partnership with the Biggio Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning and the Auburn University Libraries, is launching a pilot program to bring COIL into Auburn's core courses to facilitate the development of global literacy for every Auburn student. We will select two faculty members to incorporate COIL into one core course each for fall 2024. Selected faculty will receive:


-Assistance from OIP to select an appropriate partner (from existing university partners in East Asia and Europe)

-Travel funding to visit the selected partner this summer

-Assistance from the Biggio Center in instructional design

-Assistance from the Libraries in identifying necessary resources and technologies


Through this pilot, we will learn best practices and create models on which faculty can build as we implement a campus-wide COIL initiative.


Applications are due May 6.

Proposed Course Information

Please tell us about the existing fall 2024 core course to which you would like to add Collaborate Online International Learning components.

Consider this an opportunity to be creative without focusing on the details of implementation. This is your big-picture, no-holds-barred, blue-sky wish for the perfect course. OIP, Biggio Center and the Libraries can help with refining your concept and identifying resources to create something achievable, but we're interested in your big ideas. Course concepts that incorporate COIL throughout the semester and those that do so in a single module are both welcome.

What learning outcomes would COIL address in this course?

How will students in this specific course/subject benefit from collaboration with international peers?
