Are you thinking about how to incorporate experiential learning into your upcoming winter 2019 course? One way is via “Riipen,” an online platform available to all faculty at the University of Toronto. Riipen helps faculty provide meaningful project based experiences to students by connecting them with interested employers.
Over the past year, Prof. Phani Radhakrishnan (Dept. of Mgt, UTSC) and other instructors have been working on a LEAF-funded pilot using Riipen. In this interactive session Prof Radhakrishnan will discuss how one can start small or go large with these projects. She will present ways to design work-integrated learning projects with Riipen, how to incorporate learning goals and how to evaluate student learning in them. She wil conclude with a discussion of successes and challenges that faculty can expect to face in this exciting new journey of experiential learning!
Workshop goals:

- determine the suitability of Riipen for use in your course
