UNC COIL Courses and Faculty

As part of the Connecting Carolina Classrooms with the World initiative, the Office of the Vice Provost for Global Affairs (OVPGA) provides faculty with support and funding for implementing Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) as a part of its continued efforts to advance the internationalization of the Carolina curriculum.

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is a flexible pedagogical approach to global education. First developed by the State University of New York (SUNY), COIL can be embedded into course curricula in order to connect faculty and students from across the world through shared learning experiences and global, cross-institutional collaboration.

COIL courses at UNC Chapel Hill connect faculty and students from across the world through shared learning experiences and global, cross-institutional collaboration. Through COIL partnerships, faculty members at both institutions design collaborative activities for their students lasting at least three weeks. In small groups of students from both institutions, learners co-create a project that is only achievable with the involvement of their international partners. In the process, they learn and apply key competencies related to global nursing.
