The publication is arranged into two major parts. The first part provides commentaries and speculationon the study of the Third World, pointing out some of the unexploited opportunities for innovation. Innovative approaches and some illustrations for studying I the Third World are offered in the second major part. Innovations described include computer assisted instruction, simulations and games, audio-visual media, different kinds of roles which faculty members can paly, using students as teachers and architects, different approaches to language-learning, and using the worldas a s classroom in overseas study programs.

Points of view or opinions stated do not, therefore, necessarilyrepresent official Office of Education positionor policy. PREFACE Concerned that many important innovations in undergraduate edu- cation were apparently having little impact on the transnational di- mensions of American higher education, the Council for Intercultural Studies and Programs (formerly tae National Council of Associations for International Studies) sought support from the Institute of In- ternational Studies of the U.S. Office of Education two years ago to undertake a project designed to define more precisely the nature of the problem, if not to solve it. The project has two major purposes. The first is to identify instances in which "innovative" ap- proaches have been used in the undergraduate study of Asian and Afri- can societies and traditions specifically and the Third World some- what more generally. The major consequence of this effort is reflec- ted in the second section of the present publication, which includes a number of illustrations of what the faculty,members, perhaps partic- ularly those who adopt such practices, regard as "innovations" in undergraduate education. The second objective of the project is to encourage more interest in imaginative, if not necessarily "innovative," approaches to the study of the Third World and to develop more linkages between those involved in introducing important innovations into American under- graduate education and those concerned with international aspects of the undergraduate curriculum in general and Third World studies in particular. (Innovation, which is a relative term, is impossible to define in any meaningfully precise or categorical way.) This objec- tive is being served in several ways. One important part of the U.S. Office of Education-sponsored project is the development of three "model units" which will hopefully be suggestive of how interesting new approaches to the study of Asian and African societies and traditions can be developed by resourceful college faculty members, working with their students.The first of these "model units," dealing with rural social change in India through contrastive visual materials is now completed. The other two "model units," which involve developing a typology of the history of Indian civilization through its cities, based on a series of 8mm. loop films, and participating in an Indian urban problem-solving exercise revolv- ing around the basic requirements of "space" and "shelter" in an urban environment, have been delayed because of the recent crisis in the South Asian subcontinent, but will be available shortly.
