Embedding Interdisciplinarity: Developing a Generic Undergraduate EBL Team Project Module
Global and societal issues are best addressed by
interdisciplinary teams. This requires graduates to be able to communicate their knowledge and skills across interdisciplinary boundaries. Building on previous work, this project will develop an undergraduate interdisciplinary EBL module which will be open to all disciplines across the university. 24 students from 5 disciplines will work together and provide feedback on their experiences of the module so as to identify institutional issues, including support for WebCT.

This project seeks to foster cross-university collaboration between dissertation and team research project components of taught masters and other level 4 programmes. Students will use EBL as research-based learning to develop solutions independently or in discipline teams on real projects for the City. Disciplines will share experiences in online action learning sets and compare results in a plenary.
