The priority for experiential course design is to create a learning environment where students can gain understanding through experiences, regardless of the delivery. Learning is done by the learner in any environment. In a virtual classroom, many types of experiential learning techniques are valid for the success of the learner. The virtual environment provides an opportunity for learners to explore differentiated instruction through experiential education.
Technology should be a tool, not the driving force. As educators move courses to online experiences, they must examine if technology is influencing the essence of the course. Technology will influence the structure, but the foundation of the course should remain intact.
This course experience is set up for participants as a model for experiential learning online to include the incorporation of various platforms and informal assessment models to inform virtual instruction. Topics explored during this course include: 1. Constructivism and the social context, 2.Experiential education ecosystem, 3. Differentiation, 4. Using assessment to inform instruction, 5. Value of reflection. The goal for the course is for the participant to provide a learning environment where the learner may deepen his or her understanding of the content related to the objectives and student outcomes. By the end of the course, participants will be able to facilitate an online learning environment through course delivery techniques by demonstrating an understanding of experiential learning online
