| Abstract | The University of the Sacred Heart (USC for its Spanish acronym) is expanding the boundaries of teaching and learning beyond the classical campus’ restrictions by immersing its academic programs within three encompassing educational environments: 1) Web-based on-line learning, which follows a “learn-by-doing” model; 2) Community-based activities and 3) Language and foreign cultures throughout the curriculum. Also, the generation of specific Web-based tools allows USC to foster a sense of community and common purpose among the actors of its academic life, and to ease up the tasks related to pedagogic reform. Thus, through integration of classic Liberal Arts curricula -put into context in a social laboratory framework within the community and powered by web-centered didactic and information infrastructure, USC has achieved a unique level of integration of novel and sound pedagogical methodologies within a socially significant course redesign. |
