Digital Storytelling Collaboration Expands to SUNY COIL Initiative

Dr. Sheila Marie Aird and Dr. Tom Mackey will continue their successful Digital Storytelling collaboration as part of a Virtual Exchange supported by SUNY Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL).

In fall 2020, Tom and Sheila combined their sections of Digital Storytelling into one fully online class at SUNY Empire State College. This collaborative course experience connects students from the United States, Canada, Czech Republic (Prague), and Albania (Tirana). In spring 2021, this collaboration will expand with additional course enhancements and OER, including metaliteracy resources developed by the Metaliteracy Learning Collaborative. They will also develop new dynamic resources specific to digital storytelling in preparation for the fall 2021 COIL collaboration course.

As part of this SUNY COIL Virtual Exchange, Sheila and Tom join a cohort of colleagues from SUNY Empire State College to share knowledge about fostering online partnerships to unite international students in collaborative learning.
