The design of COIL projects is often not founded on evidence-based practice or empirical research. This can lead to educators making uninformed decisions when designing courses, resulting in sub-optimal COIL experiences for students.
This hands-on workshop will explore how COIL can be designed using knowledge and research from the field. Facilitators and participants will collaborate in designing the optimal COIL project that combines research and practical experience.
This workshop will help you:
- Have a greater awareness of useful collaborative/cooperative learning principles
- Be more aware of empirical research on COIL that can guide practice
- Have an insight on how you can conduct research on the COIL courses that you develop and teach
- Come away with a co-constructed concept of what the optimal COIL might look like
Who is it for?
This workshop is designed for educators, researchers, instructional designers, international coordinators or any professional who is interested in offering quality education to their students by implementing practices based on evidence-based practice and not only anecdotal evidence or best practices.
