| Project Description | PRQ. Is Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) an effective pedagogical tool for preparing students for the global, virtual workplace? SQ1. Do experiential international classroom projects using virtual team collaborations increase intercultural sensitivity and intercultural communication competence in students? SQ2. What impact can COIL projects have on students’ transversal skill development and employability as key characteristics of the global workplace? SQ3. How should universities engage with emerging pedagogical theory and practice in the field of borderless experiential learning, and how should learning and teaching strategies evolve to accommodate this? SQ4. How can different stakeholder perceptions of borderless experiential learning help to shape the adoption, design, delivery, and evaluation of COIL projects within universities? |
