"COIL Collaborations are developed by partnering professors from different institutions who want to enrich their courses with student interaction and collaborative learning. Professors work together to design and implement the COIL Collaboration, allowing COIL to be customized to meet the needs of any class, in any discipline. It takes planning and careful attention to design to have a successful COIL Collaboration that benefits students, professors and institutions. Visit What is COIL? to learn more and see examples of past COIL Collaborations." ( https://coil.suny.edu/ )

The Center for Global launched the UCA Global Classroom initiative in Spring 2021

In order to provide more UCA students access to collaborating with international students around the world, UCA joined the COIL Global Network to provide UCA faculty with opportunities to adopt powerful COIL methods in their classes. On June 17, 2021, fourteen UCA faculty and staff attended an "Intro to COIL" workshop along with seven faculty members from our international partners around the world.

The 2021 UCA Global Learning Fellows included: Riva Brown, Associate Professor of Public Relations; Denise Demers, Associate Professor of Health Sciences; Adam Frank, Professor (Honors College); Adriian Gardner, Senior Lecturer of Communication; Cindy Lea, Lecturer in Honors College; Catherine Miller, Visiting Clinical Instructor in Elementary, Literacy, & Special Education; Adele Okoli, Assistant Professor of French; Brent Shires, Associate Professor of Horn, and Angela Webster, Associate Vice President for Institutional Diversity and Inclusion

Five UCA faculty members-Brent Shires, Riva Brown, Adriian Gardner, Adele Okoli, and Cindy Lea successfully collaborated with colleagues in Albania, Colombia, Czech Republic, Ivory Coast, and Mexico in summer and Fall 2021 to prepare to offer a COIL unit in one of their classes in Spring 2022. These classes are identified in the UCA Class Schedule as "Global Classrooms."

Dr. Phillip Bailey, Associate Vice President for Global Learning and Engagement, has taken on the role of coordinating the UCA COIL initiative.

Look for information sessions on COIL and Global Learning throughout the year. Please contact Dr. Bailey-( phillipb@uca.edu ) or 450-3262-if you would like to get involved in COIL or Global Learning at UCA.

Organization of Project Activities includes students majoring in Computer Engineering and one student majoring in Applied Mechanics. They are enrolled in the following courses:

Fundamentals of Web Design;

Information Systems and Technologies in the Enterprise;

Projects in Information Technology.

The title of our COIL experience is "Ukraine & USA: Using Social Networks to Promote Rosa Talent".

Beginning Thursday, March 9, we will meet synchronously via Zoom on Thursdays from 8-9:15 a.m. (USA time) and 4-5:15 p.m. (Ukrainian time). Our last day will be Thursday, April 13.

We expect each student from Ukraine and America to be a respectful, courteous team member who makes equal contributions to team projects.

With your attentiveness and active participation, we know this COIL experience will be educational, engaging and enlightening for students from both countries.

Please stay connected with your team members via WhatsApp if you need to complete assignments outside the designated time on Thursdays. Let's all do our parts to make this COIL experience as successful as possible.

Collaboratively,

Dr. Riva Brown and Dr. Yuliia Dzikovska, Nataliia Romashevska, Alla Moroz.
