abstract = {Purpose – The aim of this paper was to analyse the creative competence of students before and after a micro-learning experience carried out in a collaborative online international learning (COIL) environment between
Spanish and Mexican university students in the field of education and entrepreneurship.
Design/methodology/approach – A single-group quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test
measures was adopted. The composition of the group was natural and included a total of 57 students who
participated in the COIL experience. The duration was three weeks, where students from both countries were
linked together in the development of a micro-learning project. The creativity self-efficacy scale was used as a
data collection instrument.
Findings – The micro-learning activities through COIL developed the creative competence of the participating
students. In particular, the groups from both universities improved their scores on the creative competence in
the post-test compared to the pre-test measure.
Research limitations/implications – The limitations of this study were linked to the sample loss of some
cases, as some students did not complete the post-test measure. The main implication of the study was to
demonstrate that COIL experiences are suitable for developing certain skills in students, such as creative
competence or co-operative work.
Originality/value – COIL experiences break down the barriers of physical space and give students an active
role, allowing them to fully develop competences and offering an intercultural perspective, which encourages
open-mindedness and understanding of the world.},
