A new article by Dr. Thomas P. Mackey and Dr. Sheila M. Aird entitled Integrating Metaliteracy into the Design of a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Course in Digital Storytelling has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Open Praxis. This new essay appears in the Innovative Practice section of the current issue and an earlier version was first presented at ICDE Virtual Global Conference Week 2021: Upskilling and upscaling for quality Open, Flexible and Distance Learning (OFDL) that took place October 25–29 in 2021.
According to the abstract:
This paper explores the redesign of a course in Digital Storytelling that integrates metaliteracy to advance Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). Students from the United States and Prague, Czech Republic are active participants in this fully online global course as they learn to produce digital stories. The metaliteracy framework encourages metacognitive reflection and the active participation in social information environments. A collaborative teaching team from the United States and Europe redesigned this course to integrate metaliteracy into the learning activities and self-assessments.
