The Role of Technology in Facilitating Multidisciplinary Collaboration in Higher Education

Abstract

In the ever-evolving landscape of higher education, the demand for multidisciplinary collaboration has become 
increasingly imperative. This study explores the pivotal role that technology plays in fostering and enhancing 
multidisciplinary collaboration among students, educators, and researchers in higher education institutions. The 
research delves into the challenges faced by traditional disciplinary boundaries and investigates how technological 
advancements serve as catalysts for breaking down these barriers. A comprehensive review of relevant literature 
lays the groundwork for understanding the historical context and current state of multidisciplinary collaboration in 
higher education. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, interviews, and case studies to 
gather data from diverse stakeholders, including students, faculty members, and administrators. The findings 
highlight the positive impact of technology on communication, resource sharing, and knowledge integration across 
disciplines. Furthermore, the research explores the influence of collaborative tools, virtual platforms, and emerging 
technologies in creating an environment conducive to multidisciplinary engagement.
