| Sumario: | Integrating the disciplines is a way of solving problems and answering complex questions that cannot be satisfactorily addressed using single disciplinary approaches. It is an accelerated education approach to interdisciplinary inquiry that introduces digital media and technology tools which enable learners to explore and examine the relevance of knowledge sharing and connectivity between various disciplines. The sequenced curriculum design of Interdisciplinary Practice in National University's College of Letters and Sciences (COLS) Interdisciplinary Studies program focuses on the teaching, learning, and research of multiple disciplines from multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, cross-cultural, or comparative perspectives. It introduces technology and digital media arts to facilitate interdisciplinary inquiry, knowledge integration, collaboration, and project-based learning. Students engage in both group and individual assignments, knowledge networking, scheduled chats and threaded discussions. They keep a weekly journal and submit an e-Portfolio of their insights and accomplishments. They are introduced to simulation and modeling in the humanities and social sciences and consider the social implications of discovery and new knowledge.
