Big History in Action: Explorations in Multimodal Communication Strategies for Different Audiences in Taiwan

Abstract

Ever since I began teaching Big History in 2018 in Taiwan, the most frequently asked question is: ‘How is Big History relevant to me?’ For high-schoolers, we connect cross-disciplinary knowledge and learning strategies so they can process knowledge with diverse media. For lifelong learners, we combine problem-solving competency and complex big-history case studies so that they can apply competencies in multiple contexts. For our Executive MBA program, we help business leaders focus on organizational complexity and facilitate a discussion of structural change.
