Carol Cirulli Lanham, associate director of the Center for Teaching and Learning, has been chosen as a Fulbright specialist by the U.S. State Department to work on a project called “Co-operative Virtual Learning Across Borders” at Deakin University in Australia. This initiative focuses on Virtual Exchange (VE)/Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), a method that uses digital technology to connect students and educators across different countries for collaborative learning and cultural exchange. By participating in this program, Lanham will contribute to the expansion of the VE/COIL program, leveraging her expertise to enhance international collaboration and intercultural competence among students. Her trip to Australia later this year marks a significant step towards fostering global connections and understanding through education.
