How It Works

The COIL portion of this class includes several online activities you complete with students at our partner school, Universidad Veritas, in Costa Rica.

The activities are housed on a totally different Canvas site that students from both institutions have access to. You will do your international collaboration there. But, I will post your grades back here in the NVC Canvas.

Your Commitment

We will be working with students at another school and they will be expecting you to "show up" to work with them. Do not wait until the last minute to complete your collaborative work in this portion of class.

This is a Pilot Project, This May be Weird and Wonky

COIL courses are a new thing to NVC and the instructor/students in Costa Rica (I've done them before with Canadians and Ukrainians). If things don't work out just perfect then don't fret. The main goal is to meet other students from another country and see what you can learn.
