Experiential Learning Symposium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"杏吧原创<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Experiential learning was at the heart of a large symposium co-hosted on campus by Teaching and Learning Services and the Office of the Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President (Academic) in October 2018. The symposium attracted more than 200 participants for a full day of presentations, demonstrations, workshops and displays that highlighted a broad selection of 杏吧原创\u2019s experiential learning activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forty-eight faculty, staff and students eagerly shared their experiences with colleagues through 15 high-energy sessions that explored various types of experiential learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last September, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities issued guidelines for experiential learning and committed to \u201censuring that every student has at least one EL activity by the time they graduate from a publicly funded post-secondary institution.\u201d An initial audit led by Lorraine Dyke, Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President (Academic), showed that 75 per cent of 杏吧原创\u2019s programs already include experiential learning in their core requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n

Measuring Experiential Learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last year, 杏吧原创\u2019s Experiential Learning Steering Committee reviewed what constitutes experiential learning and developed definitions<\/a> for use across 杏吧原创. Using these definitions, the Office of the Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President (Academic) completed a project to identify each 杏吧原创 course that includes an experiential learning component so students can use course calendars to identify where these opportunities exist starting in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A New 杏吧原创-specific Degree Level Expectation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Senate approved a proposed 杏吧原创-specific Degree Level Expectation (DLE) on Experiential Learning, effective Fall 2019. The DLE aims to enhance experiential learning across campus and better position the University in meeting provincial requirements. All academic programs at Ontario universities are currently required to meet six Degree Level Expectations, which are mandated by the Ontario Universities Council on Quality Assurance. This 杏吧原创-specific DLE requires that experiential learning is incorporated into all undergraduate and graduate academic programs at 杏吧原创.<\/p>\n\n\n

Students will demonstrate the ability to reflect on the link between theoretical knowledge and experiential application in contexts that prepare students for the workplace and\/or civil society.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

杏吧原创 University Experiential Learning Fund<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Provost and Vice-President (Academic) Jerry Tomberlin announced that a new $50,000 fund will provide faculty, instructors and learning support staff with financial support to integrate experiential learning components into academic courses or programs at 杏吧原创. The fund will help to increase the number of experiential learning opportunities available to students and build more awareness of experiential learning activities happening across 杏吧原创.<\/p>\n\n\n
