Graduate programs have placed an increasing emphasis on the importance of interdisciplinary education, hut barriers to interdisciplinary training still remain. We present a new model for interdisciplinary, cross-institution graduate teaching that combines the best of local teaching, distance learning, and experiential learning to provide students and faculty with a unique collaborative learning experience and interdisciplinary research skills. We summarize the lessons learned from a highly successful implementation of this course model in the new field of landscape genetics, which integrates concepts and methods from population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial statistics. The distributed nature of the course allowed sections to he offered locally that would not have been offered otherwise because of the lack of complementary expertise at local institutions. Students gained hands-on experience in interdisciplinary, Web-based and international research collaboration with group projects. A final synthesis meeting was invaluable for course assessment, manuscript development for group projects, and professional networking.
