Welcome to the COIL project: Envisioning sustainable futures in higher education, using ABCD

This is a collaboration between the Durban University of Technology, Kenyatta University and SUNY New Paltz.

On this Padlet you will find valuable information to assist you in completing your COIL project. We also encourage you to post an introductory video and to comment on at least 3 other project members' videos

# data[].attributes.body
Record a one-minute (or less) video on your phone or other device in which you respond to the following prompts:

Introduce yourself and the university and country you are coming from.

Share 3 three things about yourself that many people do not know about. (Optional: show an object, or more than one object, that represents something about what you are sharing).

Upload your video on this platform.

View all the videos of the students assigned to your group.

Provide one “flashback” comment in the Padlet for three of the videos that you watch. A “flashback” is a brief one to two sentence comment that makes a connection between you and the person in the video.

This needs to be completed by no later than Sunday, 19 March midnight

This video explains what the ABCD approach is.
