To get a COIL up and running, these five steps can guide you along the way:

How ready are you to implement a COIL?

- Take this test to see how COIL-ready you are.
- Which part of your course can be done as a COIL?
- Do you have an international contact you can use?
Coordinate and prepare

Prepare the teaching plan.

Plan the setup and execution of the 4 phases: Getting to know each other, discussions, collaboration, and presentation.
Getting to know each other activities: Here you can find examples of icebreaker activities.
Which platform will you use for discussion, collaboration, and presentation? Tips from instructors include Zoom for discussions, Google Docs for collaboration, and Padlet for presentations.
Feel free to use this form to outline the plan and activities.
Inform your students about COIL, what it is, and why you will be doing it.
