The Rinker Center for Global Affairs is offering a self-paced, eight-week online mini-course for faculty members interested in learning more about incorporating Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) into their courses. This training covers COIL fundamentals, including developing a collaboration plan, finding an international partner, and integrating intercultural learning into your course as well as how your course may be designated as a High Impact Practice (Diverse Perspectives). The mini-course will open on March 1, 2025 and close on May 7, 2025. We have eight open slots for the Spring 2025 cohort, and spots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Additional applicants will be placed on a waiting list for the next COIL mini-course cohort. If you have questions or wish to see a preview of the mini-course, please contact Dr. Alicia Miller, Director of Global Initiatives and Operations.
This opportunity is open to all full-time Ball State instructors (tenure-line or non-tenure line). Faculty who complete all modules, assignments, and discussion boards during the course will receive $250 in the RIA. To apply, email Dr. Alicia Miller by February 28th.
Faculty who complete the mini-course have the opportunity to (1) complete an approved COIL course AND (2) submit a post-COIL project report to Dr. Alicia Miller for an additional $250 RIA.
Don't need the mini-course because you already have an understanding of COIL? You can still (1) complete an approved COIL course AND (2) submit a post-COIL project report to Dr. Alicia Miller for a $250 RIA.
