COIL and sustainability education in the Arctic region: developing the COIL@UArctic network.

Abstract
COIL or Collaborative Online International Learning is a sustained educational approach where groups or individual students from one institution collaborate with groups or individual students from another institution, in a different country and/or culture, on sustained and assessed projects or assignments, developed collaboratively by tutors from each partner institution. The collaborative work takes place online, using freely available and commonly used communication technology. COIL projects can involve any topic, subject or discipline and are ofter inter-disciplinary in nature. The challenge of biodiversity loss is one example of how COIL pedagogy can be applied to address real world problems. This type of experiential learning promotes intercultural competence, as well as the attitudes and reflective behavioral skills that are vital for a globalized society and economy. The COIL@UArctic thematic network is designed to promote unique educational opportunities and higher academic collaboration, and the focus on biodiversity education has potential to provide knowledge for better lives and environments for all UArctic and non-UArctic partners. The founding partners will present their work developing this new resource and explore through round table discussion how it can be used to strengthen sustainability education and greater collaboration between colleges and universities within and beyond the Arctic region.
