“Designing for the High-Impact Integrative Experiential Learning” |
Higher Education and the Future of Human Learning
What would it look like to design higher education for the most pressing needs of our present and future? Are we doing the most we can to prepare learners for a future reshaped by powerful challenges and opportunities? The discourse and events of recent years suggest that we need a new narrative for the role that higher education can play in shaping a sustainable future, one that prioritizes both integrative learning (cultivating the traits that are most human) and inclusive excellence (seeking success for the broadest range of students). In this space of integration and inclusion, every educator has a critical role. This interactive presentation will explore the ways that higher education can begin to ask more of itself, from the classroom to the institution, including pragmatic ways that educators can think about engaged learning, data and evidence of impact, and the needs of the present and future that higher education must do an ever better job of serving.
Designing for High-Impact Integrative Experiential Learning
In this interactive workshop we will use a number of different frameworks and strategies to help educators redesign courses or parts of courses to incorporate experiential components. The purpose of the workshop is to provide some broad concepts and ideas to be used over time as well as concrete strategies for pedagogy and assessment that can be implemented immediately. There will be ample time to develop and bounce ideas, as well as interact with colleagues around best practices and potential collaborations.
