In this panel event, we hear about two experiences of COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) projects from the perspective of two INU member universities and their COIL partners.

James Madison University (USA) & Universidad Tecnológica de Bolivar (Colombia)

As part of global exchanges, James Madison University (JMU) in USA and Universidad Tecnológica de Bolivar (UTB) in Colombia focused on COIL initiatives to enhance existing collaborations. The partnership is between a Global Studies course at JMU and an International Business course at UTB. During this session, colleagues from JMU and UTB will share lesson learned and best practices on the development of COIL and why COIL fits in access and equity efforts in global education.

Criminology students from De Montfort University and California State University, Chico have co-learned the module ‘Prison, Punishment and Society’ - exploring current debates in criminology and comparing of how penal systems operate in the UK and the United States.
