The instructors will also share their experiences integrating this model into their courses, highlighting key takeaways for other instructors interested in employing the framework. Whether you're looking to implement a self-directed learning framework or simply curious about SLICCs, this session offers valuable perspectives and practical advice.

This panel will delve into how SLICCs allow students to take ownership of their education, develop critical skills, and pursue their passions. They share their experiences undertaking the project guided by the SLICC framework, and the different ways they have been able to apply knowledge, skills and mindset gained through the SLICC project after their courses have ended.  Whether you're a student curious about SLICCs or an instructor looking to understand the student perspective, this session offers lived experience on the value of SLICCs both inside the classroom and beyond.
