Experiential learning is an important tool for developing career ready students, but it requires preparation and planning to ensure success. During this session, faculty who facilitate different types of online experiential learning, including group project-based learning, internships, field research and service-learning, will share how they facilitate these experiences, advice for best practices and lessons learned.
