This paper discusses International Collaborative Learning (ICL) and Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), with the aim of answering the question of whether COIL is one form of ICT, clarifying their relationship from different perspectives such as backgrounds, definitions, terminology, and instructional design. While ICL and COIL have different historical developments, they are both considered methods for achieving “Internationalization at Home” (IaH). Both approaches aim to develop learners' intercultural competence through collaborative learning. However, there is a clear difference in that ICL takes place in physical classrooms, whereas COIL takes place in virtual spaces using Information and Communications Technology (ICT). COIL also differs from ICL in that the former has an established pedagogical model. Furthermore, it is important to note that ICL is practiced within the same country and university, while COIL involves multiple countries and universities, making it a distinct pedagogical approach from ICL. The paper concludes that it is less confusing to keep ICT and COIL as two distinct pedagogical approaches to promote IaH.
