During the three workshops, attendees had the opportunity to collaborate with each other on tasks simulating group vs. collaborative work, brainstorming formulating interdisciplinary COIL project syllabi, and testing ICT tools (such as Padlet and Flipgrid) used for asynchronous COILing.  

 

The sessions wrapped up with a coffee break hour, during which time attendees were able to network and form connections in a more casual setting (pictured below).
