Social ArtSci Networked Discourse (SAND) is a new paradigm of teaching as a social network and discourse to address issues that require multi-faceted considerations and point of view. No one can claim authority alone but Professors can design a conceptual platform and engage students who teach what they learn. They become part of an international social network of professional artists and scientists who engage in research that addresses issues raised in class. Language barriers are crossed by having international students who are bi-lingual act as discourse leaders / teachers while bringing back to class different points of view. Time zone and schedule problems are addressed by having local group dialogues recorded and added to the resource.
