This allows them to gain global perspectives, develop cross-cultural communication skills, and appreciate cultural diversity. COIL projects often explore interdisciplinary topics, enabling students to examine complex issues from various viewpoints and apply their learning in practical contexts.
+COIL, or Collaborative Online International Learning, fosters collaboration and cultural exchange between students and educators worldwide through technology-supported shared learning experiences.
