Abstract
In implementing virtual exchange programs such as COIL, faculty could also be impacted by issues of inequity related to their academic-professional development. More positive experiences could influence decision-making in embarking on internalization opportunities such as COIL programs. When faculty internationalization efforts are recognized, motivation and engagement positively impact involvement in programs such as COIL. In this study, authors explore the accounts of experiences and perceptions of US-based faculty who taught COIL (collaborative online international learning) courses in collaboration with Latin America institutions. The findings suggest that faculty is motivated but not supported properly.
