TOOLS
During this experience, we will use some technological applications that will enhance the learning process.
Presentation
and interaction
Padlet is a tool that allows storing and sharing multimedia content.

It is a digital display wall where teachers and students can collaborate by inserting images, links, documents, text, videos, and audio, among other things.

We will use Padlet for our Icebreaker
Virtual
meetings
Microsoft Teams is a platform used for teamwork, which allows
chat conversations,
meetings and videoconferences, calls, and collaborative work.

We will use MS Teams for our joint meetings.
Communication and collaboration
Telegram Messenger is a globally accessible instant messaging service.

We will use Telegram for communication between team members and professors.
Intercultural communication
Critical thinking
Global citizenship
Collaboration in multicultural teams
Adaptation to virtual work environments
Use of technologies
COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) is a methodology that promotes intercultural learning through online collaboration between teachers and students living in different countries and/or locations within the context of a course.
WHAT IS A COIL ACTIVITY?
COIL promotes the development
of cross-curricular competencies such as:
This experience is based on COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning), a teaching and learning methodology developed by Jon Rubin at the State University of New York (SUNY).

COIL combines the four essential dimensions of virtual exchange: it is a collaborative exercise between teachers and students; it makes use of technology for online interaction (synchronous or asynchronous); it requires teamwork in an international dimension; and it is integrated into the learning process.
METHODOLOGY
WHY PARTICIPATE?
We live in a multicultural society, and it is common to find ourselves living in a community where we can identify various cultural groups, but can we really consider ourselves global citizens? Do we recognize and understand the differences between our cultures? Do we engage and interact with each other? Do we have the tools to understand diversity and feel comfortable in it?

Participating in a COIL activity not only introduces us to intercultural communication and collaborative growth with an international dimension, but also makes it easier to do so in an environmentally and economically sustainable way.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to experience a different perspective through collaborative and cross-cultural work. This will allow you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and those around you, as well as gain flexibility and adaptability.
