摘要：The paper gives an overview of some recent attempts at Maritime
Studies Department (Faculty of Applied Sciences, Durban University
of Technology - DUT) to introduce Collaborative Online International
Learning (COIL) into teaching and learning. Namely, this experimental
form of knowledge generation and sharing has been recently
practiced with two overseas universities, one from Mexico (Universidad
de Colima - UdeC) and the other from Brazil (FATEC-JahuFJU).
In the first case two different subjects were matched (Navigation
information systems and Software Testing Methods), while in the
second one, similar subjects were coupled (Electronic Navigation
Systems and Navigation). The setting-up processes realized among
professors, “ice breakings” made by professors and students during
the first online meetings, students' team research works on creating
joint projects, i.e., Google Drive PowerPoint presentations and recordings
will be described in the paper, while concomitant benefits
and concerns will be discussed. An original model of non-monetary
return of investment when it comes to introducing and adopting this
kind of teaching and learning has been proposed, as well, and tested
on the basis of the variables set by the author and estimated by the
professors and students at DUT.
