Empowering Business Education: Integrative Experiential Learning Workshop
Date: Tuesday, October 15, 2024
Time: 9:00am – 3:15pm

Experiential Learning (EL) has emerged as a vital pedagogical approach in business education, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical application. This interactive workshop is designed to explore and enhance the implementation of EL, with a special focus on project-based learning. In this type of experiential learning, students work in teams on real-world projects, collaborating with external organizations to deliver tangible outcomes. This workshop caters to educators at varying stages of EL integration, from novices to those seeking to enrich their existing programs.
 
Throughout the workshop, attendees will be actively involved in exercises and discussions, ensuring a hands-on experience that underscores the workshop's commitment to practical application. By participating in this workshop, educators will gain a comprehensive understanding of EL, especially in its project-based form, and learn how to effectively incorporate Generative AI tools to elevate their programs. This is an unmissable opportunity for faculty members to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to lead and innovate in the field of experiential business education.
