The chapter overviews a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project bringing together community college students in New York City and paramedics students in Jordan where students produced and analyzed discrimination narratives. During the project, each student in a binational group crafted a narrative based on an interview with an individual in their community on their experiences of discrimination. Analyzing the discrimination narratives for similarities and differences, students made connections between the experiences of individuals in diverse environments, such as immigrants in the United States and Syrian refugees in Jordan. As a whole, this study highlights ways that computer-assisted language learning can be reimagined using contemporary digital technologies to lead to social and collaborative learning and to help students build connections between their experiences and larger social issues.
