Connecting Across the Borders of Difference with the COIL Program


Listen Later

In this episode, we speak with Stephanie Doscher, Director of the Office of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) at Florida International University, and Eva Haug, who works as Educational Advisor for Internationalisation of the Curriculum and COIL in the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. Our conversation focuses on their leadership of COIL programs at their respective institutions, the challenges and opportunities of recruiting and developing faculty to participate, as well as approaches for assessing impacts of the program on students, faculty and developers like themselves. Finally, they share the unique cultural experiences and motivations that brought them together and sustain them as leaders and as professional collaborators in this effort to, as Stephanie eloquently put it, "connect faculty and students across the borders of difference." 

Here is a transcript of the conversation.
