    The popularity of online internships has arisen partially in response to technological advancements and the COVID-19 pandemic, which have acted as a catalyst for rapid internship growth. This chapter offers an insight into work-integrated learning (WIL) through the lens of online internships, drawing upon the current educational and practitioner literature. Real-world case studies exemplify the challenges, benefits, and quality assurance issues faced by all key stakeholders globally in these online endeavors. In this chapter, we guide readers through the known advantages and disadvantages of online internships, emphasizing the characteristics of a high-quality WIL experience, and make suggestions for the future of these internships post-COVID-19. Whilst highlighting the many advantages of collaborative learning during the online internship process, the authors stress the need for further empirical research on this topic

    International audienceBased in a French context, this research investigates the link between the French cooperative education (co-op) system and students' organizational commitment. Following a quasi-experimental design with a control group, in a longitudinal approach, the study focuses on under-baccalaureate, undergraduate and graduate students. Results show that in the French context, coop is an attitudinal process able to develop students' affective organizational commitment under two conditions. The first is to build coop as a way to socialize the coop students with the organization. The second is to support coop students during their studies and also after graduation. From a coop research perspective, this study presents another model of coop and proposes to build a link between coop and organizational behavior and to think of coop as an incubator for developing high performers within organizations

    As the focus on strengthening graduate employability intensifies for institutions, work-integrated learning (WIL) has become a strategic priority for higher education globally (Rowe & Zegwaard, 2017). The need for a highly skilled workforce to sustain the economy is driving mounting pressure to equip graduates with capabilities to navigate the volatile workplace and contribute to the social and commercial aspects of humanity (Dacre Pool et al., 2019). To achieve this imperative, staff with the capacity to design, deliver, and assess quality WIL learning experiences are essential. The concept of the Global WIL modules was driven by a pressing need for professional development globally as the profile of WIL grows and is increasingly a strategic priority for institutions worldwide (Zegwaard et al., 2019)
