This innovative learning strategy which is known as Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), has been a popular tool for promoting the internationalisation of a course syllabus (Rubin, 2017), as well as enhancing students’ learning experiences and intercultural understanding through a global partnership (Hackett et al., 2023). |
