As the authors note, "The literatures on transformative, student centered, active, experiential, cooperative, and self-directed learning all focus on reframing the learning process." Consequently this paper looks at "the Simmons World Challenge (in which) the program immerses students in an intensive learning experience in which students take ownership of their learning and develop an interdisciplinary approach to solving problems... problems such as immigration, poverty, and hunger." The paper describes the program methodology in detail and documents the outcomes: "life-changing, educational, interdisciplinary, exciting, challenging, exhausting, illuminating and thrilling." 32 page PDF.
