Description

Join Dr. Simon C. Riley (University of Edinburgh) as he explores how the Student-Led Individually Created Course (SLICC) framework can be a powerful tool for supporting  interdisciplinary learning. In this talk, Dr. Riley will discuss how the SLICC framework is being used in multiple programs at the University of Edinburgh to support interdisciplinarity in education and research. Learn how this innovative framework can be applied in the University of Waterloo context to support our Waterloo at 100 goal of increasing interdisciplinary learning experiences that prepare students for complex, real-world challenges.
