Abstract

Academic departments in kinesiology and physical education have historically struggled with the important issue of interdisciplinary collaboration in the areas of teaching, research, and service. The resultant lack of coherence can prove problematic as undergraduates attempt to complete the often difficult transition from student to professional during culminating field placements. Student interns frequently experience difficulty with a variety of challenges that can be partially attributed to the lack of interdisciplinary connection and collaboration across the undergraduate curriculum. In an attempt to improve both the academic rigor and level of student connectivity during the senior year internship experience, faculty members at a regional public university designed, implemented, and evaluated a web-enhanced approach for internship supervision.?
