COIL+OSCQR standards have been developed to support effective, high-quality international virtual learning experiences.
The SUNY Collaborative Online International Learning Center (COIL) has received a SUNY Innovative Instructional Technology Grant (IITG). This grant has be used to enhance the SUNY Online Course Quality Rubric (OSCQR) with COIL-specific best practices, and to develop COIL+OSCQR standards for the COIL community to use that aligns OSCQR and COIL standards and practices for online international virtual teaching and learning experiences.
Expertly designed by a team of instructional designers and researchers, the COIL+OSCQR standards are intended to guide the design, review, and refresh of COIL course projects. The COIL+OSCQR standards and process will provide a systematic and consistent approach to accommodate the complexity of Virtual Exchange methodologies, varying degrees of commitment, and differing levels of assessment. The COIL+OSCQR standards will help COIL coordinators and practitioners implement international collaborations that are learner-centered and informed by research.
Collaborators on this project include instructional designers,COIL coordinators from:
- Dr. Adele Merlino, SUNY Maritime College
- Dr. Nicole Simon, Nassau Community College
- José Luis Jiménez, Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Venezuela

with support from the SUNY COIL Center, Hope Windle, and SUNY Online, Alejandra M. Pickett.
