Four Classes Participate in Inter-Institutional Film Discussion
Faculty and students at four NITLE-affiliated colleges are participating in an online disussion of the Franco-Moroccan film "Le Grand Voyage" via the open source course management tool Moodle.
The participating classes are: Sharon Albert's "Introduction to Islam" course at Muhlenberg College, Doug Davis's course on the "Psychology of Adolescence" at Haverford College, Linda Robertson's "Seminar on Media Representation of the Iraq War" at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, and Jamie Schillinger's course on "Islam: Religion and Community" at St. Olaf College. Also participating in the collaboration are students from the Rabat American School in Morocco, with whom the students in Davis's Adolesence course have been engaged on other projects.
Each professor has shown the film in class and divided their students into four discussion groups so that each course contains students from all four classes. Each group will be moderated by one of the professors who also supplied the initial questions for each topic.
The idea grew out of the Al-Musharaka summer seminar during which the film was screened. Discussion forums were opened on Monday, October 25 and will end after ten days.
