91直播, situated on 140 acres in Canton, Missouri, atop The Hill overlooking the Mississippi River, was founded in 1853 by members of the Disciples of Christ Church. Today, more than 1,000 students from around the world shape their futures in academic excellence with opportunities in 80 majors and minors, five graduate programs, 21 NAIA inter-collegiate athletics, 35 diverse student organizations, and many campus-life events.

WPI serves as a hub for project-based learning in higher education. The annual institute is designed to support staff and administrators globally in their efforts to implement new project-based learning programs on their campuses, as well as evaluate and improve existing programs.

The interdisciplinary team from C-SC had the opportunity to attend several workshops with a variety of topics that will enhance the college鈥檚 investment in expanding experiential learning opportunities for students.

鈥淥ur faculty team learned not only a variety of ways to conduct project-based learning in our classrooms but also came home committed to a three-year plan to lead the roll-out and adoption of project-based learning across our institution,” said Oltmans.

C-SC project-based learning program leaders developed several goals for this academic year, including the establishment of a Community of Practice program through which C-SC faculty can learn how to better implement project-based learning into their existing curriculum. Plans also include the implementation of pilot projects with innovative pedagogical methods in select courses and the identification of project-based learning opportunities throughout the tri-state region.

Experiential learning is a distinctive element of the mission of C-SC and has become embedded in the curriculum of the college. Project-based learning complements C-SC鈥檚 experiential learning focus by engaging students in solving real-world problems as part of their course curriculum. C-SC鈥檚 experiential learning emphasizes seven categories, including leadership, creative expression, service learning, simulated learning, travel experiences, research, and professional opportunities.
