Elevate Experiential Learning

The Problem

How do you convey what you’ve learned outside the classroom?

What’s your solution?

Elevate is a new resource developed to create awareness and educate students about experiential learning opportunities available and to address the challenge of how to convey the significance of all the experiences they've participated in or demonstrate what they've learned. 

We’ve made version 1. But now we’d like you to design version 2.

We need groups to design an improved version of Elevate that:

  1. Creates a more personalized experience for students utilizing information like their academic and career interests.
  2. Helps students reflect and understand skills gained through experiences.
  3. Allows students to visualize a list of their experiences and/or skills to share with peers, employers, etc.
