COIL Program Development Consultancy

The CICAN Outbound Mobility Student Pilot Program supported a COIL Program Development Consultancy between SAIT’s Study Abroad office and Jon Rubin of COIL Consulting. COIL Consulting provided strategic direction to help link academics, technology and international programs to support the Study Abroad office in developing innovative and sustainable online global learning experiences for SAIT students and faculty.

The project provided the chance to test new approaches, tools and supports, and to strengthen the implementation of programming, reducing barriers to outbound mobility for low-income students, students with disabilities and Indigenous students.
