During study in Australia, this type of program allows the student to learn by making connections between ideas and concepts across different disciplinary boundaries. Students who learn this way are able to use the information available in one discipline in a different discipline as a means of extending the learning experience. The most effective way of learning about different learning styles enables students to create their own mixing method by choosing subjects that are meaningful to them. For example, it is not too hard to find a theme that crosses disciplinary borders in literature, art, science and mathematics. The study of the articles themselves is another way to bring ideas together and lead to meaningful learning. This is possible by allowing the learners to choose their own lessons and their learning is deepened as they reflect on the connections between what they are learning in different fields.
