All lecturers at AU can now apply for Circle U.-funding to develop a COIL-activity with colleagues from Humboldt-University in Berlin.

COIL stands for Collaborative Online International Learning, and format is flexible. This means that a COIL-activity can consist of as little as one joint session that can be incorporated into existing courses. The purpose of COIL is to allow Circle U. students to work together across universities using digital tools - and to give lecturers an opportunity to try their hand at international teaching collaboration.

All lecturers can apply for COIL funding, but the courses must be held in teaching teams including lecturers from HU.

Need help establishing contact?
