Virtual Exchange/COIL


Virtual exchange is an important part of the University of Florida’s internationalization plan and commitment to providing all students with opportunities to gain global perspectives and engage in international interactions. Faculty who embed a virtual exchange (VE) project into their courses offer their students an opportunity to collaborate on assignments with peers abroad, acquire global perspectives on a given discipline, and develop international collaborative skills. To learn more about how VE works and what resources are available to support VE at UF, watch the video below.

To hear from faculty and students about their experiences with VE/COIL, including how their projects were designed and what they learned, visit the Global Learning Media Library.
