Experiential Learning Online Community of Practice

Facilitators: Sally Cantwell sallycantwell@weber.edu and Brent Horn brenthorn@weber.edu

Welcome to the Facilitating Experiential Learning Online COP page.  This community is dedicated to sharing ideas about how to take labs, clinicals, studios, and other types of experiential learning activities into the online and virtual realm.

Some content and skills require specialized teaching environments to maximize their effectiveness, thus a wide variety of disciplines use experiential activities for teaching.  However, activities such as science labs, health clinicals, art studio creation, and student teaching are REALLY difficult to accomplish in online environments.  This community provides discussion, learning and support for the development of experiential learning activities in online and virtual environments.
