Preparing for Experiential Learning

These Experiential Learning modules were developed by the Office of the Vice-Provost, Innovations in Undergraduate Education (OVPIUE) in consultation with the first-entry undergraduate divisions.   These modules are designed to support students as they consider how to approach experiential learning environments, to help them set goals for their time engaging in experiential learning spaces and to assist them in reflecting on their experiences. These modules are intended to support students engaging in various forms of experiential learning activities including curricular and co-curricular opportunities.
