The new COIL@UArctic Thematic Network invites all UArctic members to reach out if they completed or are currently running COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) projects in their institutions, especially on matters pertinent to Arctic region.

They are particularly interested in COIL projects involving student cohorts from indigenous communities across the region. COIL@UArctic Thematic Network team are currently working on creating a comprehensive online resource to support COIL@UArctic programme, where they would like to use existing projects as examples, to establish best practice and provide lessons learnt for other members, who are planning to undertake a COIL project. They would also like to gather testimonials from tutors and students, involved in these projects, to encourage more partners to participate. Moreover, they would like to know if there were any particular items that experienced members would find useful to be added to the COIL@UArctic resource.

If your organization has engaged with COIL (or virtual exchange) previously – the TN team would like to hear from you. Please reach out to the network on coil@rgu.ac.uk.
