@conference { , title = {Professional learning experience through COIL: a faculty perspective.}, abstract = {Collaborative online international learning (COIL) is not reserved for students, but rather can positively impact instructors through the exchange with colleagues from diverse institutions, backgrounds, pedagogies and practices. Instructors thereby gain global understanding which they can impart to their students and use to help facilitate intercultural curricula at their institutions. Creating global network learning environments (GLEs) means intense collaboration and agreement on assignments, deadlines, assessment and learning outcomes, which in turn forces instructors to reevaluate their own values and methods of work. The following paper describes a COIL project involving instructors from four universities in the USA and Europe and the challenges they faced creating a common team culture. While overcoming technological, institutional and cultural differences, these instructors increased their own professional learning experience.}, conference = {2019 International virtual exchange conference (IVEC 2019): advancing the field of online international learning}, note = {INFO COMPLETE (Conference now online 9/1/2020 LM ) PERMISSION GRANTED (Permission rec'd from natakiak@uw.edu, contact can upload full presentations, which will be available on website after the conference http://iveconference.org/ 20/8/2019 LM ) DOCUMENT READY (Doc downloaded from website 9/1/2020 LM) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION = Izzy Crawford}, publicationstatus = {Unpublished}, url = {https://rgu-repository.worktribe.com/output/323652}, keyword = {Collaborative online international learning, Virtual teams, Professional teams}, author = {Swartz, Stephanie and Luck, Susan and Barbosa, Belem and Crawford, Izzy} }
