Topics this month include: -Challenges and solutions to Experiential Learning in a COVID world - managing from a distance, shrinking opportunities, maintaining quality mentoring, etc. -How Experiential Learning can enhance the value of a university education given the COVID disruption of the traditional campus experience. BYU’s Experiential Learning Summit was established in 2019 to support BYU’s Inspiring Learning initiative by providing a forum for faculty and staff to share best practices and learn from specialists in the field of experiential education. This year BYU is partnering with the LX Consortium to host the 2020 Experiential Learning Summit Series with the purpose of engaging the broader community of experiential educators in a more diverse and informed conversation. The Experiential Learning Summit will be a monthly series of conversations, presentations, and panels held on the second Friday of each month, September 2020 through April 2021. Each event will address a current issue affecting the practice of experiential learning.
