Abstract: Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is a powerful tool for improving higher education by fostering intercultural competencies, broadening access to international experiences, and preparing students for an increasingly globalized and digitized world. The measurement of COIL experiences in students is fundamental to know the impact it has on learning and the student experience, as well as to make decisions with scientific evidence. The field of COIL measurement is a little explored area, so there is an important gap in the literature to consider. The study presents the psychometric properties of construct validity and reliability of the scale to measure the COIL experiences of higher education students. The sample included 100 students from Colombia, Venezuela, Spain, China, and Mexico; 66 were female (66%), 34 were male (34%), and their ages ranged from 17 to 27. The calculated indices confirmed the fit of the data to the Collaborative Online International Learning measurement model, highlighting three dimensions: digital interaction, multicultural collaborative work in teams, and reflection during collaborative activity. This article represents a contribution to the field of COIL by showing adequate psychometric properties that ensure the correct measurement of the construct. It is a valid tool for educational bodies responsible for the internationalization of the curriculum.
