Description: "Based on real-world practice at thirteen colleges and universities, each original chapter provides an in-depth examination of a creative program in the humanities, detailing the principles and strategies that were used to develop cross-disciplinary models of learning. The authors describe how each program began, how it changed and evolved, how students connected their growing knowledge to the world outside the classroom, how computer-based educational technology was integrated, and how faculty members were recruited and became motivated to teach in the program."--Jacket.
