Experiential and Interactive Activities 

Instructors are encouraged to integrate experiential activities into their courses as a way of engaging students more fully in the online learning environment. For example, courses can integrate project-based, experiential learning activities where students interview experts, engage in community activities, and/or work on multimedia projects. Winter Session instructors might also leverage the fact that many students are home for the holidays, so students might be asked to collect oral histories around a particular theme from family and friends, or to research local places of interest relevant to the course topic (architecture, museums, historical points of interest, etc.). Instructors might consider integrating interactions among students that combine both social and educational elements, including: “social hour” group projects; student-led, synchronous discussions in small groups; group course-related scavenger hunts, etc.

Call for Proposals

The Division of Continuing Education invites ���������� faculty to submit a course proposal for Winter Session 2024-2025. Faculty interested in submitting a proposal should draw from their department’s existing inventory of 1-, 2 -, or 3-credit courses that lend themselves to an accelerated 3-week schedule, delivered online. We are particularly interested in courses that are typically oversubscribed, upper division core and elective courses, and “topics” courses. Courses that incorporate elements of student-to-student engagement and experiential learning are highly encouraged.

Faculty ready to propose a Winter Session course should submit the .

Completed proposals are due by July 8, 2024.
