20.500.12556/ReVIS-13312 Enhancing Intercultural Competence through Collaborative OnlineInternational Learning: A Case Study from Albania and Lithuania This paper contains a case study of the Faculty of Economy, University of Tirana (FEUT) and Kauno Kolegija's use of Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) in Lithuania. The program lasted five weeks in late 2024. Students collaborated across borders on virtual platforms and undertook assignments that were integrated into both institutions' curricula. The study used a mixed-methods approach involving pre- and post-surveys and qualitative introspection. It examines the effects of COIL on students' intercultural skills, online collaboration, and teamwork in international groups. The results show that COIL enhances students' sensitivity to cultural differences, increases their confidence when collaborating with peers from other countries, and improves online communication and problem-solving skills. The research also highlights the potential of COIL to offer inclusive and sustainable alternatives to classical physical mobility. By presenting an applied model of virtual collaboration, this study contributes to the existing literature on the internationalization of higher education through online teaching modalities. collaborative online international learning intercultural competence digital collaboration higher education innovation sustainable internationalization true true false Angleški jezik Ni določen Delo ni kategorizirano 2026-03-14 09:17:22 2026-06-09 09:01:41 2026-06-10 03:15:03 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 289-299 no. 2 Vol. 18 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-08-31 1855-3362 2232-6022 10.70908/2232-6022/18.289-299 18.289-299.pdf 18.289-299.pdf 1 2F26E415930DA69D61AAB7959DF0D015 8956db52f3bb6a5444599d6072b784dac96facbdffb183c08f9085290c6b2c91 3ef9d3ca-1f7e-11f1-acf8-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=15841 https://ijems.emuni.si/index.php/home/article/download/323/68 1 39fcd2e5-1f7e-11f1-acf8-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=15840 Euro-Mediterranean University 0 0 0
