A Definition of Experiential Learning to Guide your Campus
- We present three new prototype definitions of Experiential Learning, for use across your campus.
- Definitions aim to capture high level planning and values as well as day-to-day operations and activities
- We promote an ecosystem approach to Experiential Learning, including a broad swath of educators, their deans/directors/chairs, Associate Provosts & Vice Presidents, and Campus Executives.
- Community partners—from employers, to alumni, to legislatures, to internship and community placement site-hosts—play a key part in all the definitions.
- We advocate for participation in an EL Ecosystem through both expert education and awareness of the need to promote EL at all levels of an institution.
