“Last quarter I took a Global Perspectives class where I was able to work with Tibetan students that lived in India; through our
many Skype dates not only did I learn more about their culture, but in addition we put together a plan for improving efforts to improve religious disharmony both there and here. While I enjoyed this new experience I felt as though I was missing a key element and this element was
that of travel ... This is why I would love to take this opportunity to [study abroad] not only to experience the culture but as well bring light to important issues such as I did with the Tibetan students on the topic of religious disharmony.
Having never left the country I find that …” - First year student of color
Impact: Student Voices
“I know I will be applying the skills and knowledge to my life outside of school. For what seems to be the first time, I feel like I've taken away something from a class.” “Previously when I was working and I saw a girl wearing Hijab I was not sure whether it would be socially acceptable for me to greet her or make eye contact. I didn’t know how to act, but now I feel so much more comfortable and able to greet her and ask her how her day is going.”
Impact: Student Voices
Impact: Formal Assessment
Pilot effort this year
Instrument based on GLOSSARI
Goal: compare learning in COIL courses to
faculty-led study abroad programs
Challenges to Sustaining COIL Initiative
Low enrollment in elective COIL courses
Competing institutional priorities
No permanent funding or staffing for COIL
Lack of understanding of where COIL
initiative can fit in institutionally
Small group discussion
Brainstorm the opportunities and challenges that COIL presents on your campus
Record main ideas on flipchart
Large group discussion
What trends emerge?
Opportunities | Challenges
What questions might we develop into future collaborative research projects?
