Abstract
This presentation will explore how university faculty and staff from across the institution can use a variety of experiential learning methodologies to increase student engagement, strengthen learning, enhance career readiness, and build connections and capacity in the community. We will explore how and why experiential learning has grown in its presence and influence in higher education over the last two decades—both inside and outside the formal curriculum. What does the research suggest in terms of the impact and effectiveness of experiential learning? What are some of the common pitfalls and misconceptions in theory and practice? We will consider these questions in light of how to assess and strengthen experiential learning for students across the curriculum and co-curriculum at classroom, program, and institutional scales.
