You can find the original (February 2016) call for IS course pitches here, in a pdf in box.
That call was for courses of a very particular kind: robustly collaborative interdomain courses. “Robust collaboration” means what it (probably) sounds like: the courses will be taught and/or developed by teams of scholars. “Interdomain course” may require more explanation.
An interdomain course is a single course that satisfies the integrative studies requirement on its own. This is as opposed to linked courses, or separate courses that collectively satisfy the integrative studies requirement through some shared element – digital assets, assignments, etc.
We started with a call for collaborative interdomain courses for two reasons. First, LionPATH wasn’t ready to think about linked courses, and neither, frankly, was anyone else. And second, it takes time and space to collaborate, and infrastructure to support certain kinds of collaboration, and we wanted to give ourselves a little lead time on locating or creating these resources.
Stay tuned for more information about the next steps for the courses that have been proposed, and about how to propose both single-author interdomain courses and linked courses.
