2019 ETUG Spring Conference and 25th Anniversary

An experiential workshop that explores applied learning principles through a series of participant activities, challenges, and reflections.


The workshop investigates eight applied learning (AL) established by the National Society for Experiential Education. It explores each of those principles through the lens of a political science assignment that has students visually represent core concepts through 360° images and augmentations.


For workshop participants, each new AL principle brings a short task. Once completed, participants reflect on this challenge with a partner, and then report back to the group. As one AL principle builds from another, so to do the challenges and reflections scaffold up from the previous tasks and insights.


The goal of this workshop is to have participants see applied learning principles come alive through their own actions, reflections and sharing. Participants will be asked to bring their cell phones to key concepts from the session.


While this workshop builds on past ETUG sessions that focused on the potential value of 360° viewing (Augmented Reality: Beyond a Toy; 2017) and 360° image creation and augmentation (The View from the Inside the Bubble: Exploring and Augmenting 360° Images; 2018), this session’s focus is to explore, experience, and consider applied learning.


This session invites any one curious about an intersection between applied learning and technology in a non-lab setting.
