COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) is a methodology of international collaborative online learning that connects subjects/modules from universities in different countries so that students and professors work jointly on interdisciplinary academic activities or equivalent topics that culminate in a product. This methodology integrates the international and intercultural dimension into the curriculum through digital technologies, allowing students to develop, over a period of 4 to 6 weeks, international experiences without the need for physical mobility.
