Abstract

Developing student awareness of the needs of culturally diverse Indo-Pacific and Southeast Asian low income refugees and immigrants, diverse international students, and confined aging populations can not happen through textbook learning. Instead, using technologically mediated, enriched environments, students can manage teacher designed initiatives that foreground Indo-Pacific and intergenerational collaborations, and reciprocal service-learning models. This panel's faculty adapt courses to challenge students to gain technological literacy while becoming civic-minded, action-oriented citizens. This inter-disciplinary panel of faculty, trained in Anthropology (UCOPENHAGEN), Linguistics (UCLA), English composition (PURDUEU), and English literature (INDIANAU), will argue that when university students move out of their comfort zones authentic learning occurs.
