Unraveling COIL: The Benefits and Challenges of COIL and Virtual Exchange
Wednesday, April 1, 2026 at 12:00 pm ET
In a global education landscape shaped by shifting mobility patterns, evolving student expectations, and increasing emphasis on workforce readiness, institutions are rethinking how global learning is delivered and who it reaches. As more students and faculty identify as digital natives, what role will technology play in shaping the future of international education?
Join experienced practitioners for a conversation on Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) and Virtual Exchange (VE), exploring not only what these models are, but why they are gaining renewed attention at this moment. Panelists will discuss how COIL can expand access to global learning, the types of student outcomes emerging from these experiences, and how virtual exchange can contribute to equity and career readiness goals.
