International Online Collaboration Competencies (IOCCs) are considered essential for global virtual teams, yet no consensus exists on what experts consider as IOCCs and which competencies are involved. To develop a framework to support higher education in designing learning tasks and evaluation instruments for the acquisition of IOCCs, a three-round consensus study was conducted among a purposive sample of academic and field experts in international online collaboration. The final IOCCs framework includes a definition of IOC and 34 IOCCs within six competency domains: (1) information and communication technology, (2) international and intercultural, (3) communication and language, (4) collaboration, (5) management and organization, and (6) domain-specific. The framework may be a benchmark for program development for Internationalization of the Curriculum (IoC), evaluation, and continuous professional development. Further research is needed to evaluate how this IOCCs framework can be integrated into higher education settings to teach and evaluate IOCCs.
