Residencies are a common format for professional artists and designers to come together to explore new cultures and themes, experiment with new materials/media and expand their practice and network. International Online Residency Experiences (IORE) are faculty-led and engage students in producing collaborative work with peers from one or multiple partner institutions. Each residency aims to create a professional opportunity for participants in each of the global locations, such as culminating public showcases. The IORE model has been developed to allow some residencies to transform into for-credit COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) and COIL Plus (COIL with travel) programming moving forward.
