Integrating experiential learning activities into your classroom can be a great way to engage students and expand their understanding of course content.<\/p>\n
Be sure to integrate opportunities for structured reflection<\/a> before, during, and\/or after the experience.<\/p>\n There are many types of classroom-based experiential learning activities at Carleton, including applied research projects, case studies, and labs. Continue reading to learn more about each type.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Applied research projects\u00a0involve a process of substantial discovery, synthesis, and\/or application of information to solving a particular problem in an original way. The research process can be undertaken independently or in teams.<\/p>\n Watch this presentation<\/a> by Dr. John Willison (University of Adelaide) for more ideas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Campus entrepreneurship\/incubators give students the opportunity to cultivate, organize, and\/or manage a business, social enterprise, or creative idea from development through implementation.<\/p>\n Read<\/a> about campus incubators in a virtual environment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Case studies provide an opportunity for students to apply their learning to real-life scenarios by working through complex, ambiguous real-world problems.<\/p>\n Watch a webinar (recording) about case teaching in the virtual environment here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Interactive simulations invite students to engage with academic content through content-specific activities designed to simulate “real life” situations, such as simulations, demonstrations, archival or design work, and\/or role-plays.<\/p>\n Watch a webinar (recording) about simulations in the virtual environment here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Labs (scientific, technological, language, etc.) provide hands-on application of course concepts in a controlled environment, including activities such as observing, measuring, testing, and experimenting.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Performance-based learning involves an individual or team-produced dramatic, artistic, or musical performance, exhibit or display that is prepared for an audience.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For support with industry\/community-based or workplace-based projects, please see In the Community<\/a> and In the Workplace<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Integrating experiential learning activities into your classroom can be a great way to engage students and expand their understanding of course content.
