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.

The Open Society Institute's Higher Education Support Program has funded a two-year extension of a joint grant with SUNY, originally begun in March, 2008, to enhance the distance learning programs at European Humanities University - International, located in Vilnius, Lithuania. A team of six SUNY experts under the leadership of COIL Director Jon Rubin will work with peers at EHU to create a more dynamic and sustainable educational infrastructure.


Two members of the COIL team, Jon Rubin and Eric Feinblatt, visited EHU on November 10-13 to hold a collaborative meeting with EHU administrators, staff and faculty, including EHU Rector, Anatolij Mikhailov. Project activities for the coming two years were discussed, and a number were highlighted. These included: professional development; quality assurance; collaborative international course development; the structure and sustainability of eLearning at EHU; implementation of administrative software and student information systems; the development of an online MA Program and the organization of an eLearning Conference, tentatively to be held in Vilnius in June, 2010.
