Description

Students learn in different ways and take ownership when they have to solve problems on their own. Experiential pedagogy, which provides hands-on experiences, has been shown to increase student engagement and deepen their understanding of course material. In this roundtable, panelists from a range of disciplines in medieval studies will discuss specific experiential learning activities (i.e. performance, hands-on activities, making) and best practices for using experiential pedagogy to make the Middle Ages come alive in the classroom.
