SALTISE Webinar | Bridging Disciplines: Practical Approaches to Interdisciplinary Course Design

In today’s educational landscape, interdisciplinarity has become essential in many college and university programs. Instructors are now asked to design courses that connect ideas across disciplines and to collaborate with colleagues across departments and faculties. Yet, while the goal is to prepare students for an increasingly complex world, educators often face common challenges:
- How should we design effective interdisciplinary courses?
- What distinguishes interdisciplinary approaches from multi- or trans-disciplinary methods?
- What frameworks can guide us in implementing interdisciplinary strategies that truly benefit students?
If you’ve grappled with these questions, join us for this insightful webinar where experts will address these challenges head-on.
