Hosted by ISI and SIAG FD on "COIL in ISI(Kyoso) & U of Glasgow" Aug.9,2024
On Wednesday, August 7, 2024, School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation (ISI) and the SIAG* co-hosted a Faculty Development (FD) session titled "COIL in ISI (kyoso) and U of Glasgow" at the Ito Guest House.
The purpose of this FD was to expand the initiatives of COIL** in ISI across the entire university, share information on the current state and future of COIL at the University of Glasgow, a key partner, and enhance the diversity and depth of international education and collaboration at Kyushu University.
The FD was divided into two parts: the first (a hybrid of online and on-site learning) focused on COIL in ISI, and the second (on-site only) on COIL at the University of Glasgow. The first part began with an address by Professor Johan Lauwereyns, Vice Dean of ISI, Senior Vice President of Kyushu University, and Head of SIAG. This was followed by presentations from Professor Shin’ichi Konomi and Lecturer David Weiss, who shared various COIL case studies and insights. The administrative office also provided useful information for COIL operation, including the COIL Guide.
The second part featured Dr. Gabriella Rodolico, who is in charge of promoting COIL at the University of Glasgow. She introduced advanced case studies from the University of Glasgow and conducted a workshop using online tools. The Q&A session was vibrant, with a steady stream of questions and lively exchanges.
Approximately 25 participants expressed high praise for the session, with comments such as "I learned about diverse methods and concrete lesson plans for COIL" and "It was helpful to understand the detailed operational methods at the University of Glasgow, including cost management." ISI will continue to vigorously promote COIL, which significantly contributes to international education and collaboration.
