American student: I found the collaboration with Turkey to be a very inspiring and educational experience. Global communication helps us understand that there are many different ways things are done around the world. It was amazing to see students in Turkey speak such good English. I especially enjoyed the laughter that we shared throughout the experience. In the last session with the class form Turkey we learned some Turkish words and it was rewarding to show them some interest in their language and culture. This was an excellent experience overall and I would do it again, gladly.
Turkish student: It was completely interesting experience because I had never been in a USA's college environment. The teacher and the students were interested in our short presentations, it was important for me because they did not know anything about us but they tried to understand and shared their thoughts. It was a great example for using technology while teaching.

Final Thoughts • Importance of finding a partner who is highly
motivated: COIL might be helpful • Start with partner as early as possible • Be flexible! Have plan B ready • Have fun! Enjoy the student interactions • Consider a sabbatical!
– COIL – Power of SUNY six big ideas: SUNY and the World – Open SUNY: “New and expanded online programs
that meet state workforce needs, support workforce development, provide international experiences, and include options for time-shortened degree completion will be identified and implemented.”
