Catalog description

Achieving an interdisciplinary approach to teaching is a challenge facing many of today's educators. It is a set of complex tasks that involves integrating content across disciplines, good instructional design, effective planning, and creative pedagogical strategies while at the same time realizing educational equity among a diverse student population. Fortunately, technologies of instruction can help with the realization of these tasks.
