The International Summer Program at ITESO aims to provide students with a home-based internationalization experience by offering courses taught jointly by an ITESO faculty member and a faculty member from another country, who bring different methodologies, approaches, and perspectives to teaching.

This program offers courses in two formats: face-to-face intensive courses lasting four weeks, and virtual courses lasting eight weeks, with each instructor teaching half of the course. Courses may be taught in English, Spanish, or both languages.

The Short-Term Academic Mobility Program (Moves) aims to strengthen international academic mobility for ITESO faculty. A key feature of this program is its reciprocal nature, as it takes place over one week at each participating institution. During this period, the program seeks to foster collaboration among academics from the participating institutions.

Each teacher will travel to the partner institution for one week of the corresponding semester and collaborate in the partial design and teaching of a course.
During your stay:

• You will teach a class,
• You will meet with other members of the faculty to discuss possible future projects,
• You will offer a lecture open to the community, among other activities.

It is important to note that the faculty members' travel dates at each institution should not coincide. Furthermore, the faculty members are expected to organize a virtual activity that fosters collaboration between their own students and those of the other university. ITESO will cover the cost of the visiting faculty member's airfare and the accommodation and meals for their own faculty.

EXPECTED RESULTS:

• Establish contacts between ITESO professors and students with international professors.
• Promote global and international curricula.
• Promote joint teaching programs. Integrate activities with students from universities in different countries.
• Integrate activities with students from universities in different countries.
• Open the door to possible future collaborations.

REQUIREMENTS:

Academic criteria:

• To be selected by the Internationalization Office (through a call for applications).
• Experience in teaching courses in English (when the mobility is to non-Spanish speaking countries).

General criteria:

• Having participated in academic internationalization activities.
• Have a valid passport and visa at the time of application and for at least six months after the return date.
• Complete the Finance Office travel authorization form.
• Obtain written authorization from the relevant department head via email.
• Be available to be absent from the country for one week during the corresponding semester.
• Academic mobility does not include family members.
• Comply with the current ITESO Travel Regulations.
• This week does not affect the holiday periods, as it is part of the teacher's assignment.
• Have medical expense insurance that covers accidents and illnesses abroad.

ITESO invites you to explore international experiences to strengthen your knowledge, improve your skills, and apply this new learning in your daily life.

Teacher training: find out about the training options available each cycle.

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is a collaborative learning methodology that, as part of the Internationalization at Home program, brings the experience of international learning to a greater number of students.

COIL courses have at least three characteristics: they are planned by at least two teachers, one from ITESO and one from abroad; they consist of collaborative activities between students from both institutions; and they last at least four weeks.

HOW TO REGISTER A GROUP WITH A COIL COMPONENT?
Once you, as an ITESO professor and together with your international counterpart, have determined the course details (start date, program, activities to be carried out, etc.), you must perform the following process:

1. Include the content in the learning guide.
2. Place the annotation that it is a COIL course in SIPLE/ADG (this process varies)
   in each Basic Academic Unit (UAB), please ask at the one that corresponds).
3. Notify the group code by email to the Internationalization Office , copying the internationalization liaison person of the corresponding department, so that they can add it to the list of COIL courses that is published each semester.
4. Mention to the students participating in the course that COIL is part of the ITESO Global Curriculum and that it awards them five points towards the Certificate of International and Intercultural Competencies.

HOW TO FIND AN INTERNATIONAL PARTNER?
