DEVELOPING COIL PROGRAM
Developing COIL(Collaborative Online International Learning) Program
What is COIL
COIL aims to facilitate student-to-student exchanges between Hitotsubashi and abroad, applying online communication tools to earn new knowledge, awareness, and insights in internationalized curricula. COIL can be implemented in part or in its entirety in a classroom setting. During this process, faculty and staff will form participatory sessions as syllabi and teaching materials are developed collaboratively among universities.
In FY2023, we are incorporating the following two courses into the COIL project with Monash University in Australia and Northwestern University in the United States. The GOE Center is to share the experiences and lessons learnt from such collaborative initiatives.
| Partner Universities | Subject | Period |
|---|---|---|
| Monash University | International Seminar (Australia) | Autumn |
| Northwestern University | International Seminar (US) | Winter |
Measuring the effectiveness of the COIL program and its application to online educational design
COIL is expected to have a multifaceted impact on education and research in any field of study. Such impacts include the promotion of cross-cultural exchange and understanding, language skills, communication skills, project management skills, media literacy, and the development of new research collaborations. The GOE Center is to measure the educational and research effects of the COIL programs, and to apply the results to the future design of online education at Hitotsubashi.

The SDGs, unlike the previous global agendas, involve all actors – national and local governments, civil society groups, and business actors – at every level of development, not limited to struggling economies. In this course, students will learn, and actively participate in discussions on, the role of market-led approaches to the SDGs.
