Abstract
This study sought to determine the perceptions of seventeen pre-service teachers from two Lasallian universities who participated in the Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) Program regarding the development of their collaborative learning skills or telecollaboration, skills in using online technology or digital literacy, skills in cross-cultural learning and global competence. A sequential mixed-method approach was adopted using an online questionnaire and a focus group discussion. Analysis of the mean was performed on collected data from the online questionnaire, while qualitative data were transcribed, coded, and categorized to extract themes. The results show that, even in the face of the COVID-19 epidemic, the COIL Program was an effective medium of virtual interchange for developing diverse abilities among students
