④ About Us

Who We Are

OISC is a multi-institutional, multi-country online COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning)-like program, founded in 2020.

Unlike typical 1-to-1 class-pair COIL, OISC brings together students from 11+ institutions across 6 countries for collaborative research, presentations, and cross-cultural exchange.

We are currently building the OISC Global Collaborative Learning Initiative as a formal academic association.
