Using experiential learning to engage students in immersive, learning experiences

In this project, students engage in experiential learning outside the traditional classroom, using materials like templates, checklists, and itineraries to plan and execute immersive excursions.

From the author: "This project will collate best-practice approaches for experiential learning centered outside the traditional classroom and lecture hall. The goal is to develop full sets of materials for planning, preparing, and executing successful immersive excursions ranging from announcement templates to pre-meeting checklists, sample itineraries, and examples of formative feedback. While the excursion plans will be specific to the classes I teach at ESPM, the principles and guidelines developed as part of this project will be translatable to other disciplines and departments."
