Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is a well-known concept for virtual exchange. For the partnership of the PH Ludwigsburg and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte it served as the theoretical framework for continuing our collaboration even under pandemic conditions. Students from both universities improved their intercultural communication, media, and global learning competencies while working in groups to research global challenges. Findings suggest COIL is a beneficial pedagogical method to impact students’ awareness of their own and others’ diverse cultural perspectives. While there were implementation challenges, out of them emerged many opportunities.

This chapter provides a historical account of the Society for Music Teacher Education (SMTE) from its inception in 1982 through 2015. Because of a marked uptick in the frequency and robust nature of SMTE’s activity since the first SMTE Symposium in 2005, the majority of the chapter is devoted to describing the SMTE Symposium events during the time they were held at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (2005–2015). After a historical account of SMTE from its inception through 2004, the chapter describes precursors that led to the first SMTE Symposium in 2005, explores the evolution of ideas and actions that occurred across the six SMTE Symposia through 2015, reviews the challenges and achievements of the symposia, and discusses outcomes for SMTE.
