Phase II Innovation Proposals
Interdisciplinary and/or Community-based Initiatives FY06 PURPOSE To implement and/or design NEW interdisciplinary and /or community-based learning initiatives which contribute to and/or complement the expansion of Learning for the 21st Century activities. Phase II of the expansion phase invites plans that focus on interdisciplinary initiatives and community-based learning initiatives. These initiatives are key elements that emerged from the planning phase of the New University and are now an integral part of Learning for the 21st Century. Interdisciplinary initiatives. Interdisciplinary is used to describe an approach to learning and knowledge that integrates and benefits from the understanding and application of the approaches of different subjects and disciplines. We recognize that our world is increasingly complex, but interconnected and interdependent. Therefore, certain intellectual pursuits need to create new forms of collaboration and new ways to learn at the boundaries of disciplines. Community-based learning. Community-based learning (CBL) can include a broad set of teaching/learning strategies that enable students to learn from any segment of the community. Students, faculty and staff can be linked with the community to solve real problems, study of places, address societal challenges, provide service, and to conduct mutually-beneficial scholarship.
