Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL)

COIL is a pedagogical strategy that promotes cross-cultural collaboration. Through COIL, faculty use internet-based tools to link students enrolled in a course at CSULB with their peers enrolled in a related course at a college or university in another country. By engaging with one another through shared coursework and collaborative assignments, students learn the skills and sensibilities they need to successfully communicate and collaborate across geographic and cultural divides. 

GSI works closely with the International Education Committee to support and promote COIL activities at CSULB.

The campus COIL website has more details and resources for developing COIL courses and projects.
