The SUNY COIL Center is a leader in the emerging field of Globally
Networked Learning (GNL); a teaching and learning methodology which
provides innovative cost-effective internationalization strategies. GNL
programs foster faculty and student exchange with peers abroad through
co-taught multicultural online and blended learning environments that
emphasize experiential collaboration.

COIL's annual conference brings together faculty, international
educators, instructional technologists, and university and college
administrators from SUNY, across the U.S. and around the world to share
their experiences developing globally networked learning courses,
initiatives and best practices. This year's conference will include
sessions from invited speakers and from a CFP (see below).

4th COIL Conference Themes Include:

* Growing and Sustaining Globally Networked Learning Initiatives
* Role of GNL in Integrating Intercultural and/or Global Dimensions into
the Curriculum
* Utilizing GNL to Support Language Education
* Supporting the Faculty and Institutional Partnering Process
* Fostering and Evaluating Student Cross-cultural Competence
* GNL Classes as Portals to Increased Study Abroad Participation
* Initial Outcomes of the COIL Institute for Globally Networked Learning
in the Humanities

Call for Presentations:

For the first time we are inviting proposals for presentations that
broadly support this year's conference themes; including individual
presentations, panels, mini-workshops, or alternative innovative formats
(including those utilizing videoconferencing and other technologies).
Joint proposals from cross-department and/or inter-institutional teams,
those which include substantial audience participation, or which bring
in student perspectives are particularly encouraged.
