Welcome to COILThe Office of International Programs (OIP) and the Office of Learning Environments (OLE) at SUNY System Administration have joined with Purchase College to create the SUNY Center for Collaborative Online International Learning. The mission of this center is to develop more on-line courses with an international dimension throughout SUNY. We will work with faculty on all campuses to develop courses that will be team taught with an international partner, and which will enroll students both from SUNY campuses and from institutions abroad. It is hoped that this site will be a source of information for those who are interested in developing such courses and that it will also be a place where questions can be raised and where we can all learn from each other.
