Abstract

This paper describes a trans-generational pedagogical model that blurs traditional "learning" boundaries by bringing K-12 students, in-service teachers and school library media specialists, undergraduate and graduate students, and university faculty together to design, implement, and assess real-world curriculum. Collaborative problem-based courses can engage students in more authentic, powerful, and meaningful learning experiences; trans-generational knowledge sharing expands the traditional model of peer-to-peer learning.
