Collaborative Online International Learning ( COIL) promotes virtual, interactive educational opportunities by connecting faculty and students through shared experiences across international borders. Other terms used in global education for similar initiatives include virtual exchange, global digital exchange, and telecollaboration. This page focuses on online global learning in the curricular context. For co-curricular global learning, please refer to the Student Engagement page.

In the COIL model, faculty from NC State and colleagues at institutions abroad collaborate on parts of their courses to incorporate educational activities that promote global learning and cultural competency. Examples of collaboration can range from shared components from course syllabi, cross-cultural dialogues and group projects, all the way to deep, full-semester partnerships.

During a recent interview with the North Carolina Japan Center in June, 2021 with the Ambassador of Japan to the United States, the Honorable Koji Tomita, the Ambassador was quoted as follows:

"...North Carolina State [University] is making a pioneering effort and engaging Japanese universities [in COIL programming], and I think that these efforts are commended, not just to fill in the vacuum created by the pandemic, but something that would add value to the traditional way of academic collaboration."

How does COIL work?

Using internet-based technology (i.e. Zoom, Padlet, and other instructional tools), faculty from NC State pair with colleagues from colleges or universities abroad to identify shared learning objectives in similar or related courses where content may overlap. They may co-design a shared syllabus, or simply co-design a series of shared classroom sessions that emphasize experiential and collaborative student-centered learning. Students participate in sustained, deliberate interactions with their peers abroad, developing deeper cultural understanding.

Why COIL?

Students engage in small groups with peers from the partner institution to learn from each other and reflect on their perspectives as they complete shared projects. The goal is to create opportunities for professors and students to have meaningful international and intercultural learning experiences on their home campuses, with a secondary goal to motivate interest and foster self-confidence to participate in future study, travel, or work abroad.

Through virtual teamwork, participants build their intercultural communication and critical thinking skills-key competencies for effective global citizenship and employment. While the international component of the course takes place online, the individual courses may be fully online or may be blended with traditional face-to-face sessions taking place at both schools. The course is graded and credited through the enrolled student's university.

Benefits of COIL

COIL collaboration (spring 2021) between Dr. Jessica Liao ("PS 342: Politics of China and Japan") and Dr. Mieko Nakabayashi ("Postwar US-Japan Relations")

Interactive format makes it more appealing to participate in class

Provides real time global engagement with peers without leaving home.

Increases accessibility to global learning for those who cannot or who have not previously considered travel abroad.

Results from other institutions that incorporate curricular online global learning show that students are positively impacted by the experience.Using the Cultural Intelligence Scale (Ang et. al, 2007):

Students demonstrated a 16.7 point increase in cultural intelligence after participating in this course, compared to an 8.2 point increase among students who had studied abroad without such a course and had started at a higher point on the scale.

Although the course was not intentionally designed to encourage study abroad, and enrollments were not targeted to any group, students participating showed an overall 7.7 percentage point increase in the probability of subsequently studying abroad, including significant increases among first generation, Pell eligible, African-American, and Hispanic students.

Increases student engagement in both course content and assignments due to the collaborative nature of the curriculum.

Offers funding opportunities for curriculum development and implementation.

Builds relationships with global partners that may lead to future collaboration in other areas, including research and grant funding.

Supports Global Learning For All and the broader NC State Strategic Plan.

For Faculty

Below Dr. Makoto Kobashi from Nagoya University shares his experience about participating in a COIL-type course for the first time. Learn more here.

Getting Started

How do I get started?

Review your course offerings and identify potential partners from your personal or research connections. Consider your international travel or exchanges with visiting faculty from abroad. Existing relationships will be the easiest to build upon.

Need contacts? NC State Prague and the NC Japan Center can assist in making connections in the Czech Republic and Japan.

Additionally, the Office of Global Engagement collaborates with institutions throughout the world on a variety of educational, outreach, and research focused projects. Explore our Global Partners Database to learn about the 130+ connections we have worldwide.

Incorporating curricular online global learning into a course involves collaborating with a faculty member abroad. To begin:

Next Steps?

Identify areas of overlap with your course and that of your colleague. Can you offer a full semester of shared learning and interaction, or is a smaller-scale collaboration of several sessions a better fit? Even an exchange of guest lectures is a great starting point for building collaborative relationships that may lead to more interactive opportunities in the future.

Student interaction between the two classes (one at NC State, and one at an international institution), should preferably be synchronous. Time zone considerations will be critical here. One option is to make these sessions part of an "international experience" for your class and not tied to the regular meeting times to allow for time differences. Encourage students to connect asynchronously outside of class time.

Activities of successful COIL programs often include:

"Icebreaker" session: the scope and expectations of the interaction are explained, group assignments are made, and everyone can get to know each other through macro or group-level activities.

Shared materials: both cohorts should have access to the same shared learning materials for their collaboration; these can take the form of articles, lectures, TED talks, and so on.

Measurable outcome: your collaborative learning objectives should have some kind of deliverable (i.e. project, presentation, problem solving, lab completion).

COIL: Brockport's Virtual Global Classroom

Global learning is not exclusive to traveling abroad and thanks to current technology, it has never been easier to bring the world into the classroom. Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) advances SUNY Brockport's strategic plan and create greater access to global engagement for our students. COIL projects prepare students with the necessary employment skills to be successful in today's culturally diverse workforce and global economy.

For Students

Global learning is not just limited to travel abroad. With COIL courses, you can bring the world into your classroom and engage with students like you all over the globe. To find out about available COIL opportunities, contact us at: overseas@brockport.edu.

For Faculty

COIL is about connecting across differences. It connects you with a faculty member in a different country to develop collaborative projects with your students across time zones, language differences, and geographical distance using online tools. It is an aspect of your new or existing course that supports your student learning goals, giving you and your students the opportunity to engage with your course concepts hands-on and - most importantly - explore them from diverse cultural perspectives. Other benefits include:

Intercultural knowledge

Virtual teamwork skills

Engage in global problem solving

Systems thinking mindset

Provides faculty a pathway for shared research and collaborations

The basis for a successful COIL course is the collaboration between the faculty partners. Developing a partnership can come from: pre-existing connections between faculty, SUNY COIL professional development opportunities, or the CGEE international partner universities.

Are you interested in putting together a course or would you just like more information? Complete the form and a CGEE representative will follow up with you shortly.

Identify A Partner

Like an online course, it is advised that you connect with your partner and begin course development at least one semester prior to offering the collaboration. You may also join the SUNY COIL Global Network to find a compatible partner, if you do not have one.

Collaborate & Design

Once you have found an international partner, consider how you will most effectively incorporate COIL into each of your courses:

Define student learning goals and identify areas of overlap with your courses

Determine the length of the interaction

Design comparative and collaborative activities

Select methods and tools for collaboration

Develop a project plan with timelines, roles, and assessment

Faculty can incorporate a global dimension into a course in a variety of forms, such as:

Single Course Assignments

Co-Teaching

Peer Review

Cooperative Learning

Online Discussions

Project-Based Learning

Additional Resources for Faculty & International Partners

If you would like support from an Instructional Designer, please contact their team once you have connected with a COIL partner. The earlier the technological needs are identified, the better the technical support that can be provided.

Reach out to Jennifer Kegler or visit their website for information on cultural content/library support.

MENTORSHIP

SUNY Brockport has a group of devoted faculty and professional staff who meet monthly to discuss strategies to facilitate intercultural learning and share tips to advance COIL at Brockport. If you are interested in joining the monthly meetings, please email overseas@brockport.edu for more details.

Consider registering for a SUNY COIL training. When you register, use the payment code BROC so the course fee is waived. These workshops can also be a great way to find a COIL partner.

Faculty are encouraged to build a personalized COIL profile on ImmerseU. This is an effective approach to get matched with faculty across the globe who are seeking a partner to COIL with. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to build your profile. For support contact Suzanne Orzech from ImmerseU suzanne@class2class.com.

Diseñamos de forma conjunta estas líneas de trabajo y las integramos en los planes de estudios, asegurándonos de que se adaptan a la metodología CEU y a las necesidades formativas de nuestros alumnos.

Los proyectos COIL pueden adoptar diferentes formas y duración según el grado en que se integren, pero siempre compartiendo una filosofía y valores comunes: favorecer un aprendizaje experiencial, reforzar el trabajo en equipo, potenciar las competencias interculturales y desarrollar las habilidades idiomáticas. Pero no sólo eso: los estudiantes entran en contacto con compañeros de otros países, se familiarizan con nuevos enfoques de trabajo y se enfrentan a la realidad de un mundo cada vez más global.

Internacionalización en casa

19 proyectos internacionales, con un alcance de hasta 800 estudiantes en nuestros tres campus; socios en Estados Unidos, Ecuador, Países Bajos, Rusia o Argentina...Nuestra experiencia en innovación pedagógica e internacionalización, es nuestro mejor aval.

Y todo, gracias al uso de nuevas tecnologías como Skype, WhatsApp o las redes sociales, que son las que nos permiten vincular nuestro día a día con el de las universidades socias.

Esta es la esencia de lo que llamamos internacionalización en casa. Para nuestros estudiantes, pero también para nuestros profesores. ¡Porque las experiencias internacionales también se viven en el aula!

Alianzas internacionales para nuevos horizontes formativos

La base del éxito de este programa es la colaboración entre instituciones que defienden una misma visión global e integral de la formación. Si es el caso de tu institución, ya podemos empezar. Abrir un proyecto COIL es tan sencillo como dar tres pequeños pasos.

Busca un socio con experiencia: Un socio que acredite experiencia previa es un valor añadido. Comparte tus dudas y déjate asesorar a nivel técnico y trámites documentales

Desarrolla el proyecto: Diseña tu módulo en colaboración directa con el profesor de la universidad asociada: asignatura, horarios, fechas...¡tenéis mucho de qué hablar!

Empieza tu módulo COIL Si ya tienes preparado el proyecto, es el momento en el que tus estudiantes y los de la universidad socia se conozcan. Romped el hielo, aquí empieza la experiencia

COIL abre un amplio horizonte de nuevas posibilidades formativas en Educación Superior: una alternativa de internacionalización escalable, más flexible y, sobre todo, más integral. Si perteneces a una universidad o centro formativo fuera de España y quieres integrarte en nuestra red de socios, ¡no dudes en contactarnos para explorar una vía de colaboración!

Virtual Exchange at IUPUI

About virtual exchange

Virtual exchange involves transcending borders through technology to facilitate intercultural learning, comparative disciplinary learning, interdisciplinary learning, and global problem solving as goals. Collaboratively designed and implemented virtual exchanges provide a rich educational environment for students, faculty, and staff. Students can connect with counterparts synchronously or asynchronously. It can be developed as a module in a course or used as the pedagogical approach for an entire course.

The Office of International Affairs has been supporting the implementation of technology-enhanced global learning for more than two decades, and in Spring 2020, we profiled three new IUPUI virtual exchanges, each with its own unique characteristics.
Read about real examples
Virtual exchange as a strategy for curriculum internationalization

Virtual exchange can facilitate comparative and interdisciplinary learning across cultural contexts, intercultural learning, and global problem solving. Faculty can develop a virtual exchange to serve as the primary way to incorporate a global perspective into a course or it can be used to complement another internationalization strategy such as study abroad or service learning.

Virtual exchange in the co-curriculum

Student Affairs professionals can also employ virtual exchange to facilitate learning between students and groups around the world. For example, similar student groups, whether it be student government organizations, cultural groups, or leadership programs, can engage in a collaborative virtual exchange in order to address shared interests.

Student benefits

Through virtual exchange students can gain knowledge and skills in a variety of areas important to their personal, academic, and professional development, including intercultural communication, critical thinking, foreign language, cross-cultural teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Virtual exchange can also motivate student participation in study abroad or other types of internationalized learning experiences.

Faculty benefits

Faculty benefits include enhancing their scope of disciplinary knowledge, widening their professional network, cultivating research collaborators, and enhancing their own personal development through intercultural and international interaction.

Are you ready to include virtual exchange, but don't have an international contact? OIA can help by connecting you to IU's Global Connections through the Office of the Vice President for International Affairs.
Find a Global Connection
Technology to facilitate virtual exchange

Faculty and students can use a variety of free online tools to develop and implement a Virtual Exchange. Social media platforms are also useful, student-friendly tools to facilitate asynchronous collaboration that happens outside of class time and for individual analysis and reflection. Faculty can choose to be an active participant in a group platform, using it to develop community between partner classes and to prompt, monitor and evaluate student engagement, or they can request that students engage one-on-one with counterparts on their own schedules. Whatever the approach, it's important to use tools that are equally accessible for the classes. Here are some commonly used tools:

IUPUI Virtual Exchange Community of Practice (VECoP)

The Office of International Affairs and the Institute of Engaged Learning are establishing a community of practice to support faculty in learning about, implementing, and enhancing virtual exchange. For more information, contact Co-Chairs, Lin Zheng, Clinical Associate Professor, Kelley School of Business and Rob Elliott, Senior Lecturer, Purdue School of Engineering and Technology.

NextGen Coders Network

IUPUI is also participating in the NextGen Coders Network (NGCN), a free, non-credit virtual exchange offered by the Stevens Initiative and implemented by World Learning that brings together university students and young professionals to create solutions to their countries' greatest challenges using code. No experience with coding is necessary. For more information, see Corinne Renguette, Associate Professor, School of Engineering & Technology.

For more information

You may contact Leslie Bozeman, Director of Curriculum Internationalization, to discuss implementing a virtual exchange and inquire about professional development opportunities. Both Leslie Bozeman and Ian McIntosh, Director of International Partnerships, can assist with identifying an international partner.

What is Virtual Exchange?

Also called telecollaboration, virtual exchange refers to the application of online communication tools to bring together classes of learners in geographically distant locations with the aim of developing their foreign language skills and digital and intercultural competence through online collaborative tasks and projects.

What kind of virtual exchange does Alamo Colleges District offer?

Alamo COIL involves connecting two or more classes from different countries with similar or interdisciplinary course content. Once connected, the instructor's partner to design course modules that students to engage in communication and collaboration.

or interdisciplinary Virtual exchanges are guided by transformative learning goals such as intercultural competence, global citizenship, personal growth, intellectual growth, and professional development.

Virtual Exchanges, Learning Outcomes, and Global Competencies

Not only do students acquire skillsets and expanded worldviews as a result of their participation in virtual exchanges, but they also achieve learning outcomes and knowledge, skills, and attitudes that align with the Colleges, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). Acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudes are a result of students' exposure to and involvement in virtual exchanges and the global competencies they achieve through intercultural interaction.

Reflection on a Global Online Learning Exchange Partnership with ESIEE Paris

Criando Communidade: Global Online Learning Exchange in Applied Behavior Analysis Partners with Universidade Federal de Pelotas in Brazil

We're proud that over 40% of our undergraduates study abroad, and that our education abroad population largely mirrors the overall demographic and socio-economic diversity of our New York campuses. But a truly global education cannot only rely on mobility, which remains out of reach for many students-and for a variety of complex reasons. As a Vincentian university, then, we must find other ways to connect students with viewpoints and perspectives from throughout the world that they might not otherwise encounter.

Innovative, Interactive, and Intercultural

"Engage with the world, incorporate global learning experiences in the curriculum, and promote inclusion and success for all students."  -Zoe Petropoulou, Senior Director for Global Engagement, Office of Global Programs.

St. John's Global Online Learning Exchange (GOLE) is an innovative, active-learning approach that brings faculty and students together with international counterparts in cross-cultural learning experiences. GOLE directly aligns with two of St. John's strategic priorities, to "ensure student success" and to " expand global and community partnerships ," by integrating a high-impact educational practice-global learning-into participating classes.

The exchange is conducted as part of an existing class and can take the form of a project, activity, or full-semester collaboration aimed at increasing both traditional course content and intercultural competency. Classroom-based and student-to-student interactions are conducted using technology that best suits the needs of the exchange, such as Canvas, Cisco Webex, various Google tools, WhatsApp, and others.

GOLE and DEI

The GOLE program makes global engagement accessible to all students who are unable to join traditional study abroad programs. By their very nature, GOLE classrooms are multi-diverse and multicultural environments. Through GOLE, students on both sides of the exchange explore cultures and ways of thinking and learning that are different from their own, while benefiting from unique ways to connect with course content.

Faculty Training & Funding

GOLE started as a pilot in 2018 and is modeled after similar virtual exchange programs developed by the State University of New York and DePaul University, among many others. Virtual Exchange is supported by AAC&U and the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations are incorporated into most GOLE courses addressing global issues such as inclusive, accessible, quality education, health inequities, and economic development.

Every semester, Global Programs, in cooperation with the Center for Teaching and Learning, offers faculty and their international partners an online three-week training course to incorporate GOLE into existing St. John's University courses. Funding for the implementation of GOLE courses is available for St. John's faculty.

Linguistically and Culturally Appropriate Language Assessment: A GOLE Collaboration
By Mellissa Bortz, Ph.D., Assistant Professor

In the fall of 2022, Tinashe Nhokwara, MSc in Audiology, Shahdeedah Aufe, and I ran a six- week Global Online Learning Exchange (GOLE) course between 20 St John's undergraduates majoring in Speech, Language, and Pathology and 14 students majoring in Hearing and Speech Language Therapy from the University of Zimbabwe in Harare.

The overarching aims of the exchange were for students to become familiar with cultural responsiveness, methods of language assessment, and devising culturally and linguistically appropriate test items.

The students learned a great deal about each other posting discussions about various topics such as energy power needs, food, and weekends. Each week, they were required to complete a reflection journal as well as identify culturally and linguistically diverse items including different vocabulary, morphology, phonology, and metaphorical language. They learned that English is an Indo-European language with subject-verb-object sentence formation. Shona is a Bantu agglutinating tonal language where different meanings of the same word are represented by changing the intonation of the production.

The reflection journal was extremely useful for students to exchange ideas about how to treat potential culturally and linguistically diverse clients. One student commented, "I chose to take part in the discussions of this course, as I believe that a better understanding of cultural linguistics yields a competent speech and language therapist. It is safe to say that studying language (linguistics) and culture will help me in my interactions with patients as I have a better understanding of their language and culture, and I will be able to efficiently respect them according to how their culture requires."

Students were required to complete two assignments, one individual and one group, identifying culturally and linguistically inappropriate items and replacing them with alternative items that they had learned during discussions, for example, brand names of cereal or vacuum cleaners for rural Zimbabwean populations. University of Zimbabwe students identified alternative games instead of "patty cake" commonly played by toddlers in the U.S. and animals such as penguins which are not found in a land locked country such as Zimbabwe.

The course was originally planned to take place using Canvas and WhatsApp. St. John's students had access to both platforms while University of Zimbabwe students used WhatsApp exclusively. An ongoing challenge in this course was the seven-hour time difference. The main reason was that students at the University of Zimbabwe do not have access to laptops and cannot operate free Canvas on Smartphones, and their Wi-Fi is sporadic and very expensive.

These challenges, however, did not prevent robust and fascinating discussions taking place such as around the Zimbabwean staple food sadsa "corn meal."

The positives, challenges, and recommendations for future iterations of GOLE were discussed during debriefing sessions. St John's students reported that they learned a lot about Zimbabwe, a country that they had previously not known much about. The technology and lack of synchronous classes were challenging for them. Ms. Nhokwara made a very powerful comment stating that Canvas was the first time that she had "seen what a functional e-learning system looked like." The University of Zimbabwe students were grateful that the course was available on WhatsApp as it made it accessible for them. They expressed enthusiasm for all that they had learned and want future classes of this type to further their knowledge.

In order to achieve this goal, an unintended positive outcome of this course is that the University of Zimbabwe students will become founding members of the African Connections Speech Language Therapy student group. This request was facilitated by members of the teaching team approaching the African Connections Speech Language Therapy group. This group consists of over 300 Speech-Language Therapists working or collaborating in Africa.

In fall 2019, I implemented my GOLE project in one graduate level course in the School of Education focusing on designing and integrating learning technologies in classrooms.

After a year-long planning period, my GOLE project was designed around the theme of cross-cultural instructional design with learning technologies. Pre-service teachers at St. John's University worked collaboratively with partners at East China Normal University in Shanghai, China, on a 10-week-long instructional design project.Each team consisted of approximately two St. John's graduate students and four or five graduate students from the international partner university. The main task for the virtual teams was to design and develop an interdisciplinary unit for middle school students in two metropolitan cities in both countries, by researching and creating lesson plans that would employ particular technological applications in classroom teaching. The project guidelines required virtual team members to work as communities of practice to design an interdisciplinary unit for middle school students in both countries while simultaneously learning to use various online web- based and mobile-supported technologies in order to collaborate effectively. Students cultivated their cross-cultural competencies throughout the course. Many team members became great life friends after the project.

Being a course-based international exchange that does not require student travel, GOLE project allows St. John's students who cannot study abroad or travel due to financial and other challenges. This virtual exchange experience became more valuable in the global COVID-19 situation where travel and health concerns rise worldwide. Without traveling to different international places, St. John's students can collaborate and learn with their peers from around the world.

Language and Culture Virtual Exchange Builds Intercultural Competencies for GOLE Students

Zoe Petropoulou, Ph.D., Associate Professor of French, Department of Languages and Literatures, collaborated with colleagues from the University of Nantes and the University of Bordeaux in France to connect students studying French on St. John's Queens, NY, campus with their peers in France studying Sociology/Psychology and English as part of the Global Online Learning Exchange (GOLE) program.

"This initiative is not just a peripheral project for a language and culture class," she said. "It is aligned with St. John's University's mission to promote international education through global attitudes, knowledge, and intercultural skills, and includes everyone-even the students who cannot participate in traditional study abroad."

Over two months, in course-embedded synchronous and asynchronous sessions, students worked together in small groups. They engaged in broad linguistic and cultural experiences and compared responses from interviews they conducted in both French- and English-speaking communities on different topics connected to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals such as global health, the effects of COVID on young people, climate change, and discrimination.

"These courses aim to provide a forum for students for cultural and linguistic exchange where they share cultural activities and experiences and compare points of views from both countries," Dr. Petropoulou explained.

Virtual Exchange at IUPUI

About virtual exchange

Virtual exchange involves transcending borders through technology to facilitate intercultural learning, comparative disciplinary learning, interdisciplinary learning, and global problem solving as goals. Collaboratively designed and implemented virtual exchanges provide a rich educational environment for students, faculty, and staff. Students can connect with counterparts synchronously or asynchronously. It can be developed as a module in a course or used as the pedagogical approach for an entire course.

The Office of International Affairs has been supporting the implementation of technology-enhanced global learning for more than two decades, and in Spring 2020, we profiled three new IUPUI virtual exchanges, each with its own unique characteristics.

Virtual exchange as a strategy for curriculum internationalization

Virtual exchange can facilitate comparative and interdisciplinary learning across cultural contexts, intercultural learning, and global problem solving. Faculty can develop a virtual exchange to serve as the primary way to incorporate a global perspective into a course or it can be used to complement another internationalization strategy such as study abroad or service learning.

Virtual exchange in the co-curriculum

Student Affairs professionals can also employ virtual exchange to facilitate learning between students and groups around the world. For example, similar student groups, whether it be student government organizations, cultural groups, or leadership programs, can engage in a collaborative virtual exchange in order to address shared interests.

Student benefits

Through virtual exchange students can gain knowledge and skills in a variety of areas important to their personal, academic, and professional development, including intercultural communication, critical thinking, foreign language, cross-cultural teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Virtual exchange can also motivate student participation in study abroad or other types of internationalized learning experiences.

Faculty benefits

Faculty benefits include enhancing their scope of disciplinary knowledge, widening their professional network, cultivating research collaborators, and enhancing their own personal development through intercultural and international interaction.

Are you ready to include virtual exchange, but don't have an international contact? OIA can help by connecting you to IU's Global Connections through the Office of the Vice President for International Affairs.

Technology to facilitate virtual exchange

Faculty and students can use a variety of free online tools to develop and implement a Virtual Exchange. Social media platforms are also useful, student-friendly tools to facilitate asynchronous collaboration that happens outside of class time and for individual analysis and reflection. Faculty can choose to be an active participant in a group platform, using it to develop community between partner classes and to prompt, monitor and evaluate student engagement, or they can request that students engage one-on-one with counterparts on their own schedules. Whatever the approach, it's important to use tools that are equally accessible for the classes. Here are some commonly used tools:

IUPUI Virtual Exchange Community of Practice (VECoP)

The Office of International Affairs and the Institute of Engaged Learning are establishing a community of practice to support faculty in learning about, implementing, and enhancing virtual exchange. For more information, contact Co-Chairs, Lin Zheng, Clinical Associate Professor, Kelley School of Business and Rob Elliott, Senior Lecturer, Purdue School of Engineering and Technology.

NextGen Coders Network

IUPUI is also participating in the NextGen Coders Network (NGCN), a free, non-credit virtual exchange offered by the Stevens Initiative and implemented by World Learning that brings together university students and young professionals to create solutions to their countries' greatest challenges using code. No experience with coding is necessary. For more information, see Corinne Renguette, Associate Professor, School of Engineering & Technology.

For more information

You may contact Leslie Bozeman, Director of Curriculum Internationalization, to discuss implementing a virtual exchange and inquire about professional development opportunities. Both Leslie Bozeman and Ian McIntosh, Director of International Partnerships, can assist with identifying an international partner.
