Programme

Experienced EAIE trainers Eva Haug and Thierry Villard will provide an introduction to curriculum interventions, specifically Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), by exploring the challenges and opportunities of collaborative student work. The course will delve into developmental phases of the specific VE curriculum design, looking at discovering, applying, and reflecting.  

What you'll learn

During this course, inspiration will be provided by practitioners in the field, and you’ll hear about best practices in Europe, Latin America and Africa. We will cover the technology for online international collaboration: lessons learned from blended teaching and learning, constraints and opportunities for technology-supported collaboration.

  • Gain practical insight into the design of virtual exchange projects 
  • Identify the modules within your curriculum that would be suitable for VE and the appropriate technology for online collaboration
