Interdisciplinary Literacy Assessment

In 2009 CMDITR began a process of defining what is critical in interdisciplinary education for its particular domain. A series of interviews and surveys was used to generate a comprehensive outline of the interdisciplinary core content. This serves as the specification for a series diagnostic quizzes that server as portals to the wiki. The idea is that students would take a quiz and then link to the appropriate material that will teach or reteach the identified concept.
