Abstract

This case study examines the implementation and impact of the "COIL en Clave ODS" program, focusing on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) initiatives aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Ibero-American higher education. Developed by STAR Argentina, the program supported educators from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Spain in co-designing intercultural projects grounded in sustainability. Through AI-driven tools such as natural language processing (NLP) and interactive galleries, the initiative expanded global visibility, improved collaboration, and demonstrated the transformative potential of merging digital innovation with pedagogical reform.
