Integrative and Experiential Learning Series: 2013 IEL Series

  • Based on experiences with simulations in an International Relations classroom, Veronica Kitchen discussed how to find or plan simulations, and how to integrate them into your courses.  Her student, Istvan Szepesi, discussed how the student experience is changed by the inclusion of games and simulations.

  • Troy Glover described how collaborating with a community partner provided students in his Rec 220: Program Management and Evaluation course the opportunity to apply course theory and content to designing, delivering, and evaluating an actual program.

  • Greta designed the History 347 “Witches, Wives and Whores” course, which's activities that require students to take an active role in their learning, build on their critical thinking and research skills and engage deeply with course content in a way that is personally meaningful to them.
