| Description: | |
|
The Bluffton College Learning Community is working collaboratively to create online learning modules to enrich existing curricula with more diverse ethnic, cross-cultural and geographic perspectives on common topics. These learning modules or “meta-courses” will be incorporated into existing curricula at participating institutions and will engage diverse student populations (one predominately white, one predominately black, and one Vietnamese) in the guided exploration of common resources and discovery projects through threaded discussions and other online activities. |
