Online meeting about virtual exchange and COIL at UFSC

On 29 March, the Office of International Relations (SINTER) promoted an online meeting about virtual exchange and Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). The goal was to start the discussion about the possibilities of carrying out such forms of internationalization in a standardized and institutionalized way at UFSC. The meeting was attended by the Director of International Relations, Fernanda Leal, the International Programs Coordinator, Guilherme da Costa, and the Virtual Exchange Coordinator, professor Kátia Madruga, as well as by faculty members from different departments who are interested in the topic. The discussion will continue and the idea is to have a training session on the subject this year.
