This study aimed to match high-impact, experiential learning with equally powerful assessment practices.
Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to match high-impact, experiential learning with equally powerful assessment practices.
Methodology/approach
We observed three examples of programs, analyzing individual student artifacts to identify multiple learning outcomes across domains through a novel approach to assessment.
Findings
Important outcomes from this effort were boundary-crossing qualities made visible through a multi perspective assessment process.
Research limitations/implications
Future research should focus on the nature of experiential learning and measurement thereof.
Practical implications
Learning design should consider experiences as a means to reflection, which complement content delivery. Instructors may restructure course credit loads to better reflect additional learning outcomes.
Social implications
Learners with this feedback may be able to better articulate sociocultural learning.
Originality/value
Describes learning in experiential and high-impact education; novel assessment of experiential learning in university setting.
