The Applied Experiences in Learning, Design, and Technology capstone is an experiential course that allows students to get hands-on practical experience with companies, products, and research. This capstone project can take the form of conducting research, creating a learning environment, or designing a product in which students apply a whole person approach, iterative design, and/or user design explored throughout the coursework.With guidance from the course instructor, students will collaborate with a client to produce a culminating LDT project with deliverables. Milestones and final deliverables will be determined by the course instructor, client, and student and may include defining a problem of practice, literature review, assessment and evaluation, preliminary and final prototypes, and/or a final report or presentation. The final deliverable(s) will serve as the masters comprehensive exam for the program.Students may work with their advisor to select an alternate course.
