Creating Accessible Spaces for Experiential Learning in an Online Environment
Peter Gimby; Wesley Ernst; Christopher Cully; Ania Harlick
Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching, v7 p52-59 2024
The switch to online learning required a creative solution to allow for the experiential learning outcomes of the program to be satisfied when access to physical spaces and equipment was restricted. This paper describes a collaborative process between technical and support staff as well as research and teaching faculty that led to the creation of meaningful experiential learning opportunities for over one thousand stakeholders. The implemented solutions included the development of hardware and software, the creation of documentation and training procedures for teaching assistants and designing a support system for the students.
