The document outlines a 5-step process for using heterogeneous resources to educate others. It defines heterogeneity as combining disparate elements and discusses how new definitions involve composition and "mashing up" different resources. The 5 steps are: 1) brainstorm goals and objectives, 2) determine key words and ideas, 3) imagine alternative resources, 4) glean the most useful information, and 5) interact and share what was learned. The document provides an example applying these steps to define and explain the concept of surrealism using various media and resources. The overall goal of the process is to take advantage of multiple media to educate people who learn in different ways.
