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.

EBL From The Very First Day: Developing New Senses of Place
To develop a new EBL project for all first year geography students to be implemented during the induction weekend residential fieldtrip to Keswick. The exercise will engage students directly with the environment through role play and collaborative mapping, and will be team-based, with students responsible for the design and execution of the fieldwork research. This will be the student’s first university experience of geography and will immerse them in an EBL project that will stretch them, encourage collaborative, creative and artistic appreciation of place, and also be fun. It will open their eyes to the different ways cultural geography makes places and their own roles in this process.
