Let’s Get Started with Experiential Learning
Instructor Angela Lanier
Experiential learning benefits students learning during a course and prepares them for work and life beyond. While many courses cannot accommodate large-scale experiential learning experiences such as internships, practicum, and research, instructors can integrate meaningful, small-scale experiences that benefit student learning. Based on Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory, this workshop will guide participants to examine their course outcomes, content, and assignments for experiential learning opportunities and plan a low-stakes experiential learning activity that applies the four areas of Kolb’s theory – concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
-
- Describe the four areas of Kolb’s learning cycle
- Identify existing course opportunities that can be adapted to accommodate an experiential learning activity
- Draft a low-stakes experiential learning activity that addresses the four areas of Kolb’s Learning Theory
