A Course Module for the Contemporary World
A Course Module for the Contemporary World aims to help learners reflect and engage in conversations about the complex issues and dimensions of globalization that human societies face in today’s world. This module is designed to be transdisciplinary by enabling learners to integrate theoretical lenses and methodological tools of various disciplines: learner-centered by empowering learners to enhance their own agency in learning through self- directed exercises and reflective activities; and outcomes-based by aligning activities and assessment to a set of outcomes.
