This presentation reports case study research of lessons learned from various COIL initiatives between a university in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States and multiple institutions the regions of Central and Southeast Asia. Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is a teaching-learning approach whereby entire courses or modules are co-developed and team taught by instructors from different institutions and world regions for students of all participating institutions. The presentation showcases how institutional partnerships and course content emerges and develops using COIL to prepare students with intercultural competencies for global collaboration and structured reflection across disciplines. The COIL setting-up processes, “ice breaking” made by instructors and students during initial online meetings, students' team research endeavors to create joint projects, presentations, and recordings are detailed in the presentation. A model for introducing and adopting COIL is proposed. The model is based on COIL as a catalyst for intentional and structured academic collaboration, allowing educators and students to exercise critical thinking across cultures, and to problem solve in an authentic communicative interaction. A summary discussion of lessons learned and prospective plans for sustainable engagement with COIL will invite audience questions and comments.
