Learning Across Cultures, With Help From Technology
Students at six U.S. and six Japanese institutions next fall will get to enroll in classes developed jointly by instructors from opposite ends of the globe, thanks to a new technology-enhanced collaboration funded by the two countries’ governments.
The American Council on Education is facilitating the American end of the project, which will spur implementation of a pedagogical method known as Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), developed at the State University of New York in the early 2000s and now in use at dozens of institutions around the world.
