Idea Hubs focus on the following topics and their relationship to COIL virtual exchange: Technology, Critical Interculturality, COIL+ Careers, COIL + Research led by Coordinators in the community. There is an Idea Hub meeting every week on Fridays at 11am EST. These meetings are a great way to network with other institutions, learn from more experienced coordinators and focus on a particular topic.

 The 1st Friday, we focus on Technology + COIL …how most recent tech apps, laws, data privacy intersects with COIL. 

 The 2nd Friday, we focus on the intersection of COIL + Critical Interculturality. 

 The 3rd Friday, we focus on COIL + Careers. We discuss how HEIs are preparing our students for career readiness, utilizing global skills, leveraging the COIL experience – all angles of how to recognize the COIL + Careers connection. 

 The 4th Friday, Research + COIL is the focus. With two editors of Virtual Exchange Journals moderating the monthly event, we will investigate all angles of research and publishing connected to COIL.
