  • Cross-pollination involves bringing together ideas and approaches from different fields or disciplines to create new insights and solutions. In the context of learning, this can involve exposing learners to diverse perspectives and approaches and encouraging them to think critically and creatively about the subject matter. By cross-pollinating ideas and approaches, learners can develop a more nuanced understanding of the subject matter and can apply their learning in new and innovative ways.
