Abstract

We suggest rethinking three traditional practices in higher education instruction: (1) compartmentalization of disciplines, (2) traditional pedagogy, and (3) traditional hierarchies. We developed a model that harnesses technology to break boundaries between disciplines, learners and organizational levels of hierarchy. Findings indicate that 34 undergraduate students who participated in an online course that implemented the model, significantly improved their interdisciplinary understanding of the course contents.
