Experiential Learning Design

(4 Credits)

How can learning be designed to be meaningful and transformative? This is an advanced-level course that explores the pedagogical approaches and key theories that inform facilitating and designing experiential learning. Students will develop and apply their understanding of learning theories and approaches by engaging with two experiential learning projects: one focused on facilitation design and second focused on learning design. Both projects will provide students with an opportunity to practice situated learning, social-emotional learning, and participatory experience design. In parallel to the two projects, students will create reflection and project portfolios to document their reflections throughout the course.
