The 21st century has seen a dramatic rise in experiential learning research and practice. After the previous century, where research on subjective experience was for the most part excluded from academic journals, there is today a resurgence of scholarly research on experience and experiential learning. Yet, how do we know when a given educational…

Immersive technologies have gained attention in design pedagogy due to their potential as effective tools for teaching and learning. Virtual reality (VR) has been extensively explored in the design discipline for tasks such as interpretation, visualization, and collaboration. However, most applications of VR have focused on replacing traditional…

This paper explores the experiences of six Academic Skills Tutors (AST) responsible for facilitating action learning sets (ALS) on a postgraduate module. Our research focused on two elements: first, what did the tutors understand by the term critically reflexive practice in the context of business and management? Second, what has supported the…

While faculty are subject matter experts in their fields of research, they are often lacking the pedagogical training to support student academic success. Additionally, career readiness skills are increasingly a focus in higher education through the intentional inclusion of soft skills or "21st-century skills" in the classroom.…

Purpose: This study examines the challenges faced by both the groups and explores interconnections to reduce this disconnect. Design/methodology/approach: A survey with closed and open-ended questions was administered to 77 faculty members and 274 students across nine higher education institutions. Responses were analyzed through content analysis…

This article shares results from the research project "Experiential Learning Assessment in Post-Secondary Education." The purpose of this research was to develop a further understanding of experiential learning assessment (EL) through an exploratory approach with university faculty and students. This article shares findings from the…

Medical education may lack experiential training on authentic community engagement (CE). Employing a human-centered design approach with medical faculty and students to identify goals, opportunities, needs, and barriers to implementing CE research, we developed an Experiential Community Engagement Learning Series (EXCELS) pilot program. EXCELS…

The current paper presents the findings of an educational design study conducted within the realm of science communication training. Within this study framework, we implemented the active listening observation scale (ALOS) in a science communication training based on (deliberate) experiential learning. Our investigation centered on determining the…

Information systems students yearn for hands-on, active learning experiences that teach relevant skills. Delivering these experiences requires repeatable, secure, and scalable computing infrastructure. Unfortunately, many institutions struggle with the capital and operational costs of hosting in-house computing environments. Some educational…

Work motivation is a core component of many management courses. However, its effective teaching can be hampered by the fragmentation and seeming incoherence of the various theories of work motivation. To address this challenge, we describe an interactive role-play activity that induces students to synthesize, apply, and compare several theories of…

Developing collaborative educational spaces is vital for students to be active participants within their own learning; however, there is limited research on the impact of constraints and cultures in developing active partnerships with students in healthcare settings. This paper reports on selected findings from an overarching mixed-methods study…

Understanding the need to revamp the traditional pedagogies, the current research aims at using a contemporary teaching pedagogy for a classical concept of "consumer decision-making." The article uses role-play activity as an experiential tool and provides empirical evidence to the current study. Role-play seems to offer a practical and…

In response to racial and cultural inequities that persist in areas of curricula and school-family partnerships, this study examines how parents' perspectives (including primary caregivers) on their children's experiences in one Freedom Schools program in a mid-sized urban city informs the ways traditional curriculum and pedagogy might be more…

Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to revolutionize the way we learn and educate, enhancing and supplementing the traditional learning experience by providing new ways to interact with information and people. However, its full potential in education has yet to be fully realized, as work in this space requires resolving cutting-edge technical…

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the integration of emerging technology (ET) integration in the information systems (IS) curriculum. Background: Modernizing the IS curriculum is consistently needed to meet the demands of the workplace. The IS2020 curriculum model recommends adding emerging technology learning into the IS…
