Multidisciplinary academic collaboration.

Abstract

Dr. Caroline Park (Centre for Nursing and Health Studies, Faculty of Health Disciplines), Dr. Cheryl Kier (Psychology, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences) and and Dr. Kam Jugdev (Faculty of Business) have been collaborating since 2011 on interdisciplinary research. Their presentation in September 2013 for the Practical Conversations in Teaching and Learning Online is entitled "Breaking All the Rules: Interdisciplinary Collaboration about Online Student Debates". This interactive presentation discusses their research and perceptions about the interdisciplinary collaborative process from a healthcare, psychology and project management/strategy perspective.
