Language preference for COIL collaboration: English

Academic Discipline: Practical English (General English)

Research interests: Literature Studies, Translation Studies, Teaching methodology

COIL project idea: My idea for a joint virtual module is elaborating on “Nonviolent Communication Laboratory” using M. Rosenberg’s method. The developing of the module is based primarily on three books “Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life” and “Living Nonviolent Communication. Practical Tools to Connect and Communicate Skillfully in Every Situation” by M. Rosenberg, “Nonviolent Communication Companion Workbook: A Practical Guide for Individual, Group, or Classroom Study” by Lucy Leu.

The module focuses on raising awareness of violent communication and nonviolent communication and, thus, reducing alienation. The aim is to create a safe environment for learners’ becoming conscious of their needs and feelings and practising nonviolent communication. Learning within the course is seen as an ongoing, open-ended experience.

Challenges students resolve:

- Overcoming fear, shame and shyness of being aware of their feelings and expressing them;

- Being able to express their needs and requests clearly;

- Being able to listen and to hear others;

- Noticing fossilized patterns of violent communicating

- Communicating in a nonviolent way using NVC principles

Work mode (can be modified): Real-time interactions, individual assignments. It will be necessary to keep up with journaling observations, insights, reflections.

By the end of the course the students will be able to apply nonviolent communication in academic environment and beyond.

Expected outcomes:

- a disseminating session conducted by the students (facilitated by the lecturer on each side) for other groupmates those from parallel groups who were not involved. - a booklet of the learners’ reflections published based on their agreement as a tribute to their participation.

The topics (can be modified) will be based on the chapters of the mentioned books involving: 1) Introduction to Nonviolent Communication.

2) Nonviolent Communication and Literature.

3) Nonviolent Communication and (through the lens of the discipline another lecturer is interested in)

4) Giving from the Heart.

5) Compassion-blocking Communication.

6) Observing without Evaluating.

7) Identifying and Expressing Feelings + Taking Responsibility for our Feeling. 8) “Proper” Requesting.

9) The Power of Empathy + Empathetical Receiving.

10) Compassionate Connection.

11) Anger Expression + The Protective Use of Force

12) Liberating Ourselves and Counselling Others.

13) Expressing Appreciation in NVC.

Language preference for COIL collaboration: English

Academic Discipline: Practical course of English, English for specific purposes Research interests: Academic integrity, facilitation of studying, soft skills development

COIL course idea: The long lasting result of the project would be a creation of special procedures for students who do not follow rules of academic integrity, do not know or understand their values. Thus, the integration of soft skills into the studying process would be important for the overall development of future specialists.

The idea for the virtual module to consist of such parts:

- Meeting of students and their division into groups (depends on the number of students)

- Each group will get the topic for research: Academic integrity in the studying process/ Values of American and Ukrainian students/ Soft skills - an integral part of a future professional etc. and decide how their final project should look like (workshop, presentation, speaking clubs)

- Under the supervision of American and Ukrainian teachers, students develop the necessary materials for their research stage: Google forms/ checklists/ questionnaires etc.

- Groups conduct meetings while working on their topics, engaging other students to their meetings.

- Groups present their final projects.

Research interests: Educational leadership and self-actualisation, interdisciplinary teaching and research, foreign language teacher training, intermedial studies, open education and open educational resources

COIL course idea: Firstly, I plan to integrate art/culture studies and language instruction while delivering the course in Methods of Foreign Language Teaching in order to prepare teacher trainees for developing their students' language and soft skills by means of intermedial approach. Such integration will help to engage students into the intermedial dialogue and analysis rather than mere reproduction of the learning material. For instance, by the end of the joint virtual modules teacher trainees will explore the relations between language and art, and know how to develop their learners' 4Cs (Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication and Collaboration) skills through art.

Secondly, incorporating Mindfulness and Meditation into a course in Leadership will engage students into developing their fundamental leadership qualities with the help of contemplative practices.

Research interests: Botany, plant science, genetics, celection, breeding, biotechnology There are possibilities to cooperate within the framework of two courses.

The first one is “Plant Morphology and Anatomy”. In this course I would like to focus on the slight differences in the structure (both on the macro and on the microlevels) of parts of the plant in different environmental conditions at the different geographic locations. During the

course, I plan to form a mixed group of the students to make a joint scientific project to investigate the structure of the plants from one Family but different species or maybe even one species that grow in both locations and study if they have some differences. The main idea is to show how some traits vary from region to region, from one condition to another. These questions now are very actually due to climate change.

The second one is “Biotechnology of pro and eukaryotic living beings”. In this course, we discuss the newest trends and techniques in biotechnology. I believe it would be relevant to provide some lectures on the topic and as a joint project, suggest a task to design some new start-up ideas for usage of some species for the needs of humanity.

COIL course idea: In this course the students will utilize their knowledge of food security to take action. Students will develop an individual action plan to make a positive contribution to food insecurity in a community of their choice.

Students are expected to participate in all course activities, turn in assignments on time, and to put in their best effort. Students are expected to be in the driver’s seat when it comes to their learning – in other words, exercise independence as a learner.

Overview

Students will participate in all class activities as outlined in the module of the week. The purpose of this assignment is to create a sense of community by students leaving a “digital fingerprint” to evidence that they are participating and learning from class activities.

Guidelines

Each week’s module will explain the course activities for the week, along with accompanying due dates. Students will complete each activity and evidence participation by leaving a “digital fingerprint”, as suggested by the instructor. Digital fingerprints can include asking a thoughtful question, leaving a comment relevant to the topic, or contributing an idea to the conversation.

What is an Action Plan?

In this class the Action Plan is an opportunity for each student to create and implement a course of action that will have an impact on the issue of food security. The purpose of this Action Plan is to develop the interaction between the student, the subject matter (food security) and a community of your choice (the campus, your neighborhood, your city, etc.). The goal is to evidence an impact on the problem of food insecurity.

Proposal: I would like to offer a session, which is not the typical COIL, but something we use as Icebreaker activity in COILs, that students and lecturers appreciate very much. It is an Intercultural Online Escape Room Experience, in which we group students from different nationalities and send them on a (virtual) trip across countries and cultures. This allows to strengthen many competences in a fun way, such as communication skills, virtual team work, negotiation, organization, and many more.
Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the session on Friday, but would be happy to organize a small extra-curicular session and bring together students and professors from different countries.
Feel free to reach out to me and we can discuss dates and details.

Dear Professor Mariia Ruda,

My name is Sara Ruiz and I am a lecturer currently teaching in San Pablo University (Madrid) Radio, Podcasting and Audiovisual Journalism. In the past 2 years I have developed two consecutive COIL programs. Last year’s COIL with Saskatchewan University (Canadá) was focused on the value of research for Journalism and this last March 2022 with environmental impact students of Marine Biology of Universidad Veracruzana (México) aimed at studying the communication of the environmental impact. The previous COIL helped me adapt to the topic, have an organization of the resources needed, infographics, activities, and planning that could be of good help. I am also part of a Bilateral Intensive Program (Erasmus) producing Radio with multi-cultural groups of students since 2016 https://www.europeonair.com/ and I have experienced multiple mobilities and worked with different international teams in the last 10 years of experience in my University.

That said, I would like to show you my interest in working with you in the second area presented in your file: "To educate students on the methods of counteracting and combating inaccurate information". I must note I was very pleased to see we are both covering these aspects in our courses as it is a very appropriate subject we develop as part of my course with the Third-year students of journalism in my course of Audio-visual Journalism (In English). In this course we explain Journalism from a multimedia perspective including theory and audio, video and social media workshops but we do not dedicate much time to reflect or develop activities about fact-checking, analysis, or similar. In this sense, working with you could create an opportunity to design a new activity that could help our courses.
Moreover, Audiovisual Journalism is a course I teach January-May every year and the location in the calendar could help us buy some time to design the program we both need for our student’s learning experience. I understand you will also have your own agenda and program, but I would be more than happy to have a conversation and adapt to create an interesting shared experience.
As a convinced believer in COIL, I wish we could work together to raise awareness of the relevance of truth in these times.

Lastly, I would like to invite you to get in touch if you have any questions or would like further details.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Sara Ruiz.

Create the conditions for flow at a time when existing structures start crumbling.

Eddy at New Paltz is open to everyone on campus and beyond. Part of our mission is horizontal collaborative organizing, breaking down hierarchies and barriers between students and employees, and learning from each other. Please reach out to Andrea Frank (franka@newpaltz.edu) or email eddy@newpaltz.edu with ideas or to join the ongoing process.

During the 2020-21 Academic Year we met regularly via Zoom to build community, to develop a common vision, and to practice embodied processes that bring us in touch with our bodies and collective intuition. We have been working with practices and processes developed by tree speed, an artist/faculty collaborative (Michael Asbill and Andrea Frank) as well as the u.lab2x framework by MIT's Presencing Institute in order to develop and prototype The Eddy.

As COVID-19 hit in spring 2020, adaptive changes on campus started to happen quickly. In April, Andrea Frank wrote an open letter to the New Paltz community calling for proactive trans-disciplinary collaboration on campus to transform our educational system, frameworks, and curriculum so that we may educate toward a thriving future in the face of impending climate tipping points, accelerating species extinction, and deeply ingrained social injustice. Here an excerpt from the letter:

Meeting the climate challenge head-on offers significant opportunities for vital change. We can improve human and ecosystem health while actively addressing the existential vulnerability of our many disadvantaged communities, effectively transforming institutional and structural inequities on which COVID-19 has shed such stark and chilling light.

As a university, let's dare to embrace our responsibility of swiftly working and teaching toward a future that is built on radically sustainable systems and institutions, and which fosters healthy ecosystems, community, emotional and physical wellbeing, and social and economic justice.

Let's face it, there is no more normal-no normal weather or season, no standard path toward a financially stable and secure future, and, as a result, no normal curriculum or way to teach anymore. Let us dare to consider what it might mean to leave behind the old shell of normalcy and become adventurous in exploring new ways.

Can we open up to change enough so we can envision and embrace systems and related habits that actually draw down atmospheric CO2 concentration to safe, livable levels, and that makes room for the ecosystems we rely on to thrive?

From there, a group of campus members ready to engage in a collaborative process formed. We started with a three-day virtual experiential think tank in the spring of 2020 hosted by Andrea Frank and Michael Asbill (as part of their tree speed c ollaborative artistic practice), and since then have met regularly to work through a process of developing community, a shared vision, and projects through creative processes and using metaphors.

The idea for a Sustainability and Just Transition based center or lab sparked during a gathering around a fire in the summer of 2020. In order to realize this vision, we decided to embrace the MIT Presencing Institute's u.lab framework. This has allowed us to move through a structured process as a core and expanded group, and to connect with change-makers around the world.

What's your tennis ball?

Sorry, my dog ate it.
