Welcome to COIL

The 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.

First meeting of the COIL International Education Working Group

At the recent COIL conference at Purchase College, great interest was expressed by numerous SUNY campus international education offices in working more intensively with the COIL Center. Carlton Rounds, Assistant Director of the New Paltz program offered to host a get together, and fifteen of us made our way to the homey digs of the New Paltz International Education Program in late March to take part in the first meeting of the COIL International Education Working Group.

In addition to SUNY New Paltz, Binghamton, Purchase, Cortland, Cobleskill, Ulster and SUNY System all sent one to four representatives who met together seeking areas of mutual interest fertile for collaborative development.

On Friday, November 14, eighty faculty, staff and administrators from 28 SUNY campuses and colleges as far away as Florida and Indiana met at Purchase College for an exciting and informative all-day event. The focus was on implementation, and presentations spanned the gamut from lectures, to workshops to video conferences to explorations of Second Life. We hope that this event will empower many of those who attended to initiate new globally networked courses that will help to internationalize their campuses. 

Here is a link to Sarah Guth's PowerPoint presentation from the morning plenary.

Here is a link to Jason Pine's forthcoming TV show produced in collaboration with Paper Tiger TV.
