First thing first. Please, help us answering the grouping COIL form so the Faculty can start pairing you in teams. You can access the form here:
https://forms.gle/rAK7ioDWUWdrJHDz7
To start this task, we invite you to go to the assigned space in Padlet, here you will start a new post with your information as the title following this format: INSTITUTION.FirstName.Lastname. *
Example: ITESM.Katherina.Gallardo.PT, ITESM.Leonardo.Glasserman.FT or SJSU.Arnold.Danzing
* ITESM Students, remember we have two schemes for participation for you: FT = Full time, PT = Part time. Include your case (PT or FT) ad the end of your name on the title of your video on Padlet.
Why is it important to keep the format on the subject line? This way, it will be easier to identify your international classmates, which will be helpful for the next step.
In Padlet, make a video introducing yourself (1-3 minutes) where you tell us about yourself, who you are, where are you from, what Program are you studying, what do you like to do in your spare time, what are some of your interests or passions, and your future plans after graduation. If you are not comfortable uploading a video, you can include audio recordings or images representing your introduction.
Also, make sure to mention how you are doing during this quarantine time, and how your life has changed. Include some positive and negative aspects regarding COVID-19 from your own perspective and reality. SJSU students should draw on insights presented in the class on Communication that you recently completed.
Try to get the attention of the group - remember this is your opportunity to meet interesting people from USA, Mexico and around the world.
Feel free to express yourself, this is a safe place we all respect.

You will be invited to a synchronous kick off session where the COIL activity will be explained, Faculty will manifest their expectations and will share how this methodology was implemented before. Also, this session will be helpful to explain COIL phases and what would be the final activity to be delivered. If there is time you will be invited to interact with other peers in breakout rooms of Zoom.
You will receive the link to Zoom through the email you entered for registration in this activity.
* We highly suggest to attend this meeting, but the session will be recorded for those who would not be able to join us.
Ok! Let's keep working! Once you have posted your message and interacted in the Welcome synchronous session, reply to at least two other participants that you don't know; comment on what you find interesting about their post.
The follow-up posts should consist of one well-crafted paragraph, including an introductory sentence and finishing the paragraph with a concluding statement or question.
Did you find something interesting in your peer's post? Do you observe any differences or similarities with your peers? Do you have any advice for them?
After someone comments on your post, reply or react to the observations received.
Remember, there is no grade for this activity, but to complete it, you will have to create your post and send at least two replies. Once you have completed this activity, doctoral students will be ready to participate in the Symposium on June 7 and 8.
Aditionally, you will receive the contact information of your team members that the Faculty assigned based on the Grouping Form. Please start getting in contact with them. For the June 9 session, it will be valuable to have already met with them and at least started the first conversations.
The Doctoral Symposium is an open-door event. This is the first time that our two doctoral programs are going to exchange wonderful ideas and methodological approaches around their doctoral dissertations and research projects that both SJSU and ITESM students are working on. A total of 32 students will share their innovative educational ideas and research. Through these research projects our students will contribute to new knowledge, transform their educational contexts, and improve educational processes.
Do not miss these dates! Zoom links for the Symposium will be delivered to your email based on your registration for this COIL actiivity. Remember that Master students are welcome to attend as listeners.
* Invitation to this event can be found here.
