Recognition of ECE Faculty Members Participation in Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) in Semester 2, 2022 

2022-08-10

The Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) was introduced by the Internationalization Team in Semester 1, 2021 to encourage ECE colleagues to collaborate with an international partner to bring global perspectives into their classrooms through online technologies.  

In Semester 2, 2022, three of our colleagues organized synchronous discussion sessions for their students to learn with professors and student-teachers from the US, UK, and Spain. We would like to recognise them (click on their names to read about their collaborations):  

  • Dr. Catalina Ng Sau Man, Understanding and Embracing Diversity, with Mrs. Evi Katsapi from the Institute of Education (IOE), University College London (UCL),  

  • Ms. Anika Saxena, students from various courses, with Dr. Gia Renaud from Bridgewater State University (BSU), and  

  • Ms. Iris Leung Tuen Yung, International Kindergarten Attachment Scheme, with Associate Professor Andreu Gutiérrez-Sierra from the International University of Catalonia (UIC).  

Importantly, many students appreciated and enjoyed the virtual exchange. Here are some comments of our ECE students about their COIL experiences:    

  • “This is my first time interacting with overseas students, the discussion session was really great!”  

  • “Having an added international component encouraged me to be more open-minded and reflective.”  

  • “I enjoyed this experience as it allowed me to learn more about early childhood education around the world and provided me with a special opportunity to work with my group mates from the US.”  

We thank our colleagues for making this effort to expand their teaching repertoire to enhance international learning for their students. If you would like to find out more about COIL at the ECE Department at EdUHK, please get in touch with Ms. Sofie CHUA (schua@eduhk.hk).
