UBC has recently embarked on a mission to create a culture of research and exploration in undergraduate education called Trek 2000 whose focus is Internationalism, Integration, and Information Technology. This project stablishes a working model for how teaching and learning at UBC will change in the new millennium in the context of information technologies.

The goal was to enable students in Education and Science to document their field experiences and design on-line digital media objects which relate to the subjects they are studying.

This was the essence of this project: to encourage students to relate their personal experiences to the curriculum and use media as the tools of their trades. Think about it.

On-line Digital Data Documentation brought together two tested and successful 1998-1999 funded Teaching and Learning Enhancement Projects: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Land, Sea, and Sky (PI, Dr. Kurt Grimm) and Making Movies; Making Theories (PI, Dr. Goldman-Segall).
